i almost feel bad if i mod it, feel like im ruining someone else's possible enjoyment lol DO IT! my brain says..

Popped down to Real steel, nice shop, didnt get all i wanted but did came away with a sump! but i after i got home i opened it to find a chrome one...ooops! Also got a wallet burning catalogue and got some stickers too Didnt get a starter motor as we werent sure which one i need so bascially i need to count the teeth on the flywheel Shiny!

i think this i need this plate fot the gearbox http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251486889830&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

this a pic of the bodge linkage, the 2 pipes from this lever go to the oil catch can, i dont know if this is fine or its something that has been done just to get it working ? Also ordering bits from Real Steel, really cool website and cuts out the shipping cost i would pay from the US. Its a bad place for my wallet lol!!!

yeah krzys i know what u mean, im pretty sure thats meant to have a plate there or theres going to be all sort of crap going in there!? anyway when i get it going im turning it round and lifting the engine out to do the sump and i will get a plate or make one if i have too! So far im keeping it, tbh i cant sell her as she is wouldnt be right. If i remember ill do a vid of tina when shes running lol

wow very jealous, you have done a top job there, have a vtec smack on the back! fancy doing my accord ? lol

as hes giving some back i think i will push through to keep it now lol It did sound awesome and will sound even better soon. Might get a electronic choke as well.

well spoke to him now, i actually owe him some money on it but we have agreed it needs those parts sorting out so hes lowered what i owe him, its not a big amount but enough to sort the new starter motor, new sump and a new filter so hopefully if i can discover which are the right parts i need ill order them and we get going again. Going to pull the carb off and clean it as its got bit of foam in there now.

hers some pics of the underneth, discovered alot of things that need sorting. Oil leak from the front crank oil seal, the cut to size sump is actually touching the steering rack, the flywheel is exsposed is that normal ? the gearbox mount is badly done as well. Having 2nd thoughts now of keeping it.

is shame but if u know richard hes pretty ramdom in his decisions but i bet theres tons of mechanics waiting to work for him! Jay u hit the nail, been looking at manual box for it, would be much better and the C6 is a 3 speed!! krzys im jealous!!!

oh i was hoping that it wasnt jordan, they are like the best 2 mechanics they had, maybe they and arron just couldnt work together anymore, ive actually got a gas monkey sticker on the back window already!

funny i went to oban for our honeymoon lol! Ah man thats crap, i cant remember who jordan is but i dunno tom is a pretty strange bloke maybe too strange ?

i was watching fast n loud, they put a 363 'create motor' into the falcon which is a off the shelf 500hp ford small block based on the 302 but its about £5.2k, i rekon i can get 2k+ for my engine when its running lol

nick it has a C6 auto box, the shifter isnt easy to use! taking the starter motor off sometime this week to see whats what. Im really tempted to just get it running right and sell the engine and put a new mordern ford v8 in it.

Ive updated the the pic post tom!

Well i found the seats arent in that well, the seat belt arent bolted in, also the front wheels cant go on full lock as they hit the manifolds! Couldnt get her started as the starter just stopped working, turned out i didnt have it in neutral but she started so i went around the block but went down a dead end by mistake and she died, also found the gearbox is very clungky when changing but i think its need more oil in it. So it ran out of fuel already (5 litres in 5 mins lol) so had to run down the station and get some more! lol But now more disaster, mate came round to see it and it nearly started but now the starter screams and spins coz its not inguaging i think/stripped gear. So heres a list of what to do so far: -Seat belt holes -Door handles -Window handles -Starter motor removal -Roof lining -Front wheel spacers -Carb clean -Weld/change diff -Speedo dial -Fuel guage -Top up gearbox oil -New number plates -Heater switch -Finish floor carpet -Steering wheel -Fix horn -Change suspension

haha have u all stewed enough yet ??? Heres she is 1981 ford cortina mk5, cortina headlights and diff, corsair rear lights and.... 302 5.0L ford v8, 4 barrel carb with lumpy cam... Now the current pics! I will now do a issue reply in a min, just soak these in lol

lol IT CAME!!! but didnt go smoothly tho :/ The previous owner rang me and said the guy damaged the number plate and just touched the exhuast so not happy, when he came he was younger then mee! but at least i paid him £9 less than quoted! Anyway, i tried to start it and nothing happened so checked the tank and no fuel lol Rushed off in excitment, it started and i had the neignbours watching lol but then it died quite a few times and i couldnt work the shifter. Then it wouldnt start at all coz i think i had the auto shifter was in gear. So after a bloke helped us we got it on the drive and shes covered! So who wants some pictures ?? (of previous owners ones)

tom i love starion's! if i see one on ebay i think dam i wish i had money to get me one of those lol if i earned more dosh i would it get me a warehouse and fill it with yank and jap diamonds!

yeah i will be, hopefully ill remember to pick up so paint and ill get the rims painted soon and in a few weeks if i can tear myself away from the new toy i will deck it!

it is road legal just hasn't been insured or taxed for a while so its just easier to get it delivered and i cant be bothered to drive for 4 hours lol

Got a new toy! But you got to scroll down to see it! lol

lol tom would be a fine motor but i dont about his mpg ?

nope tom tho i would have one them if they weren't so expensive!

kink if it was a sk2 id be happy to say that on here but its much more awesome than that mwahahahaha!
