Hi sniffy Smiffy, are you going to take the weekend off in a couple of weeks time. Bob and Silvies BBQ seems to be building into quite a good crowd and it should be something quite entertaining and enjoyable.

 

Bob. Hope you don't mind me mentioning this to other people.

 

Kenneff.

No problem Ken, Mo & I have started on the arrangements already -- bring your best DIY brains --- I need some old/worn tennis balls if any guests can supply.

Exactly Chris, it's the best thing about our cars -- they are what you want/can afford/can build. Classics are great apart from the rivet counters -- ( that type of relay/coil/headlamp was not used on this model 'til a year later, so its WRONG)

Mines a 2.0 pinto and i recently fitted a set of cbr600 carbs from a local motor bike breakers £70.00 and they where as clean as whistle inside. A danST engineering manifold off ebay to match the carbs was £200, i would say it goes like a rocket compared with the weber 32/36. Idles lovely and revs like a dream. Pulls off quicker than any other car sat at the lights. it does lack top end speed, but hey how fast do you really want to go in a tin box. sometimes its about the great sound, lovely cornering and looks rather than racing someone to 100.

 

The other thing with the pinto, yeah it may be a big old lump of old tech, but sometimes that's a good thing, less to go wrong if your into DIYing with your car.
