Set the timing again before he started, tuned the fuel and changed the jets and has run a treat ever since

Re: MK1 on ebay
Good spot, Major! It looks like the sunroof repair is years old though. I'd guess that a previous owner may have had one of those universal glass pop-up sunroofs fitted when they were all the rage in the 70s and 80s. Maybe a subsequent owner had a repair to revert it to standard spec and the result...

It's no more than an hour from me now as part of a collection. I like the idea of having a car collection, but who's got the time to maintain a fleet of classic Fords? Except Danny, obviously! :lol: Andrew. For the record, I definitely don't have enough time or money to maintain a fleet :lol: There...

Re: Laser + GL and now a 3.0S!

It's a pain it's taking so long truth be told Was only expecting it to be gone for a couple of months, but as we all know - once you start chopping the rot you find more and more and you go al...

I think I do mine every year or worst case every other, but the Haynes says to do them every 6months!
Either way, I've never had one break
Just curious to others thoughts

It's quite an eye-opener to see what is lurking under the surface! Still, it all looks good now. Presumably you are just having the repaired bits painted, not the whole car? Andrew. Quite concerning more than anything, i would never have known there was so much rust lurking underneath it all! Yes j...
