Good luck rebuilding it.

the way i see it is it is not worth anything so i might aswell have a go

 

plus i have seen mirracles worked on my mk1 to save that so i know it can be done

[bronze4door]

will soon be done i hope

[stevenfod1]

well it nice to see you repairing and not breaking

 

what you doing power wise av you done the 2.0l cams n to get them working right you need throttle body and ecu

[bronze4door]

i have a full 2.0l engine sat here i just need to change the parts over so it will drop in but its not been done coz money is now being spent on rebuilding it

[SLEEMAN]

change the engine with the front panel off trust me easier that way lol!

[bronze4door]

i would but i will be happy just to get it back on the road the engine can wait till its warmer and i would like to freshen it up first and i will do that as the funds allow

 

so for the moment i am going to get it back road worthy and get my suspension and brakes on with the rear axel and then enjoy using it with the new parts

[bronze4door]

managed to get myself a black bonnet and bumper thanks to one of the members of the manchester classic ford club so today was spent putting it on and doing little bits to the estate and mk1

 

so we have gone from this

[bronze4door]
