  1. Cause you just can't have too many old school fords.... Has a 1500 cortina engine fitted. Keen on 1500 GT parts if anyone knows of any. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/42756-eskin8rs-1967-anglia-1500/ Discuss

  4. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/38501-pabs-1955-ford-f100/ Keen to see more pics of this! I love these old trucks.
  5. This is a fairly recent import from Cali, so nice and dry with a just a few small area's of metal needing attention. The worst being the battery tray and gutter above the windscreen. It's had a mustang engine conversion and although it's nice and straight the welding wasn't quite cosmetically up to scratch so I had the engine pulled out and the welds tidied up. Also the firewall looked like swiss cheese and had multiple holes that needed patching as well. I'm picking up the truck later this week and bringing it home with the engine in the tray. The plan is to paint the engine bay before the motor goes back in. Orange isn't exactly my ideal colour. You can find some photos here of the engine welds that needed tidying: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tqda68laphx6aqp/oVC95mef4b Plus a couple of small rusty bits to attend to. I also had some new leave springs fitted but this has raised the rear quite alot which isn't ideal.
  6. Project thread: http://oldschool.co....rd-anglia-105e/ Hey Mac, that's a nice looking Anglia you've got there. Certainly an interesting choice for a 16 year old. What are your plans for it? Your thread is in the wrong section of the website at the moment, but I'm sure a moderator will move it to the User's Projects / Build Ups section soon. EDIT - Moved
  7. Hey guys, I've decided the next thing my car needs is a better carb. It's a 1300 mkII escort currently with the stock carb. I'm planning on eventually dropping in a 1600 so don't want to get too carried away now, but could definitely do with a bit more power and a carb seems like a cheap and easy upgrade which could eventually bolt onto the new engine to begin with. I've done a bit of research and it seems that a Weber 28/32 or a 32/36 is probably my best bet. Anyone got any advice on this? Do I need a new manifold, or could I get an adaptor milled up to bolt onto the existing one? If I do need a new manifold, is just any crossflow Weber downdraught setup suitable or do I need a certain type? I was hoping to spend somewhere in the region of $200-$300, is this a realistic figure? If anyone has anything suitable for sale pm me please. Any guidance or tips would be awesome.
  8. Hey guys, been lurking for a while and thought I should get around to posting a build thread. I bought my Escort about 6 months ago. Previous owner had bought the car from new and drove it until he died. Only 136,000kms, a lot of which were at highway speed between Chch and Rangiora. Interior was in great condition, body had a few scrapes but nothing major and was basically rust free. Probably going to be pretty slow progress to lack of funds, but will hopefully get painted over this summer. Discussion thread
  9. Bought this sport back in September 2011. With it needing a few jobs to bring it to standard.
  10. Hi there I have a 105e, I got her for $500 on my 16th birthday ('91) She is original, 997cc of goodness. She was taken off the road in 02 and will be sitting her WOF in the next few weeks. (Reg is on hold). My plans are a respray, new carpets, some period bucket seats a different carb (prob a weber 2 barrel) and some extractors and I have an exhaust system with 2 cherry bombs waiting to go in when I get the extractors (springtime due to $$) Cheers Felixx
  11. This car, i bought for $180 when i was 15, and thrashed around an orchard for a week, then parked it up. 3 years later (now) i decide i need a daily, so the escort has steped up from being an eyesore on the front lawn of one of the rentals, to being my gangsta daily ride. plans: fix all rust, theres a lot. keep primered. lower it hard. chuck a set of mags on it. keep it all legit, whilst retaining its rugged look. i plan to not spend much time/money on this, reason being i want a car that i dont care about so much, which i can park dodgy places/ let people sit on the bonnet without having a fit etc etc
  12. i am the new owner of a 1979 escort wagon estate powered by a blue top 4a-ge tvis motor diff has been tightened diff, exhaust system, electric fan, 5 speed toyots gearbox, 14inch Superlyte alloys and Interior has Fishnet Recaro seats in Grey pics:
