Nice ride where did you pick this up from looks like a mates old one ?

Looking good 

Very nice 

This looks very interesting cant wait for the results 

I'm sure I have some smaller chokes around for those carbs 

I'm sure you will be faster than mine I haven't even posted my new project as its all body work and after one year its still sits there AHHH

So far our container seams very dry but time will tell 

Much interest in this container chat as I just bought one as well which has vents in each end and sits in the sun all day but I'm to worried to put car pats init might try the couple of buckets of calcium chloride as well to see what the condensation levels are  . Brand new was to rich for me as well . How long is the plan on the body work ?

There was a guy at the last monthly meet in Auckland done his own car said he bought it from trade me look pretty good . I'm sure he said about around $600 for the whole car in blue and carbon fiber

My old ride

Nothing like a brown moment towing a trailer to remind you who the boss is 

2014 old school drag day and 17.9 and 30km drive home like this 

I looked at a few options for the seven, some sounded good but the only reviews were for bigger cars and I wasn't convinced they would act the same on the smaller car, in the end I went with name brand of something I've used before that's also a tyre used on the 2K cup which is generally smaller vehicles. I'll see if I can find the names of the ones I almost bought. They'd probably be ideal for a BMW.

Its a small BMW only 1500kg 135i but need either 18s or 19s . A mate recons it will eat what ever Tyre I put on it . It hangs on ok but nothing where you would put all your faith in 

Need some good tyres for the BMW but so many choices . It turned its Potenza in to a sticky mess on normal roads with a bit of healthy driving . I will look them up 

so what brand tyres did you go with?

Looks like so much fun passing those other cars. must get something ready for the track going again       

The mix of what you have in your escort should make it loads of fun to drive and reasonably reliable. Just drive it for a while have some fun with it before you go wasting money on bits that you probably will never really need . The big answer is have a big wallet throw heaps of money at it, doesn't make it any more fun to drive  

Nice hose clamps I have a load in my shed I used them and found that they didn't grip as well as I thought and changed back to the cheap ones . maybe keep an eye on them . Cant wait to see some paint on it 

Looking sweet . Love your work - it is inspiring and makes me wish I could fabricate something as impressive as this.

 

PS - this top radiator hose looks to be under a fair whack of tension. Perhaps something to look at?

 

It all cost there is no cheap way to get more power . Just set a budget and stick to it 

Put it on the escort cortina face book page someone on there might know

Looking good Gumboot looming is it going to be ready ?

Hasn't done many kms over the last 10 years 

+1 for Murray knows his stuff . Sounds like they will need all new seals sitting for that long .they will be great fun once you have them fitted 

Nice like very much cool wheels

Very jealous wish i could get that much shed time . looks very nice
