They are almost there they are at the paint shop im waiting to get it running so the painter can match the colour to the pin stripe on the car

Finally got all the bits so last night after work we went for start up first problem was the starter just worn out and not enough power. So we had a search around and Paul had a few lying around so we got a 2 bolt one in there for the mean time to get it started. Joy it wound over but still no joy no spark. Bloodly thing drives me nutts so hopefully tonight it will get started to see what it goes like. Went home and got the garage all cleared up after having 4 engines a parts washer and a pallet rack system to look after for a friend sitting in the middle of the floor thought I should make space for the home coming. But the Garge queen has still not arrived ##### Taupo is looming and still no car

A few snap shots no luck today new battery they forgot to order new lead ends are very hard to get due to being 9.8 mm and I want straight ends instead of bent ones. Cable was left on the bench all day at Auto Stop GI when they said it would be sent this morning WTF meant to be finished tomorrow so want to drive this now. And last but not least another quality Burton product I seem to have a bad run with there stuff
-
So close but so far after Loads of porting to the Manifold fixing the dizzy's broken clip new 4.4 crown wheel and pinion I was in great hope for a start up . But yet another quailty product that I have imported has failed so getting a new acclerator cable made today and then I should get to take it for a drive.

A hair dryer is only any good if you use it . We all know you want to keep it off the track. Max JPR sell Performance head gaskets. How much Hp and touqe where you getting? Mine is going in the next few weeks so I'm keen to see what is going on.
-
So what happened to it??? You keen on Taupo in a few weeks Dual sprints
-
Looks like a good base . Mine has reset springs 2" lowered Gaz adjustable shocks all round and 2" lowered in the front not sure what type of spring rate I run in the front but they are a light bule colour. As for brakes I just have 9" drums in the rear and carpi vented disks in the front with the spacer kit for a M16 and Freddo DS 2500 brake pads and have never run out of brakes yet.

-
Come on get it going dual sprint 19th in Taupo hurry up get at least one car going. We all want to see you drive it like it was last on the track down there and beat my car round the track are you up to it????????????????????????????????? Or are you already admitting defeat ?????
-
Working away on getting a few more parts ready for the 45's . Also ordered the a new 4.4 crown wheel and pinion which should be here in a week. Picked up a Red line Manifold Mangoletsi throttle linkage And a get out of my F### out of my way for the Auckland drivers that think they own the road and don't care about the older quality cooler cars that drive on the roads The plan is to make the dual sprint on the 19th in Taupo . Found a more cost effective way of getting the wheels restored.

I really like the look of this might come down for one event -
Nice score

Yes Jackson

My mate used to own this van about 4 years ago

+1 for that mine was doing turned out I was missing a spring
-
New wheels are on gave them a quick clean still loads to do on them mainly the lip I have all the plastic alloy nuts off for cleaning 40 per wheel . So all I have had done is the wheels machined to take my current wheel nuts the re furb quote was $1200 so i'm going to wait for a while.
-
Looks like the builder had a few great ideas
-
How did your car go? Seen you out there but was fairly busy on the day a couple of fix jobs and it was was running double sessions
-
So the Bleed was bad gave it a clean up and found the breather on the side of the engine had come out and the dip stick was blowing oil out the top fixed it all and not to many leaks now but it is a ford after all. Made a choice on the diff going to get a 4.4. It was the first on the list of things to get but these came up for sale and I had to have them. Gen 7" a special import 30 odd years ago for a track car and have been sitting around ever since. Work needed on the lip but they really suit the car and the era. And they had these as well which was another on the want list As the set up on my car is on lend to see what was to best to run it on so now we Know it needs 45s So thanks to Mark105 father I have some very nice bits for my car. So now new manifold carbs on and a dyno day to see what this little car is doing now. The next plan is getting it all set up ready for the next gumboot rally and maybe a few events in between.
