Santa Slowing down in his old age!

Thats just being silly.. Anyway Barry. Hood is now fitted with new frames. Just awaiting turnbuckles from Woolies (ordered today) and will then fit doors. Tank is going to Allyfab on Saturday so should be back hopefully before tooooo long. Pop Round when you're bored - Anytime. Oh and we'll have to arrange another night out soon. Cheers Lee

Congratulations. Fun aint it.

Hi Barry, Bet that shook her up. Thats more than a minor pothole... !

If it's an Essex lump it will prob be a 3.0 from early Capri/Reliant Scimitar. Later V6's were designated Taunus or Cologne lumps and were 2.4,2.8 and 2.9. I think...

Ok Chris - My attempts at humour have been thwarted again by common sense!

You forgot the one about the 10 who would suggest checking the resistence on the wire, seeing that it was so long to get from the battery feed in the boot!

Email me the picture and I'll put it on a website for you and give the link when it's there. PM me Cheers Lee

Congrulations fella. So is that it now with three? Cheers Lee

Excellent Jon, Lots of detailed piccies although the last few piccies from Jan don't seem to be loading. Does seem a drag updating site I know, but car is lookin good. I knocked one up over the weekend that is still "Under Construction" in a few sections, like you mock in your intro. Need some piccies!. Main thing was I wanted to put up a sort of diary, so created a blog where I can post from anywhere. Lets see if I bother to update it. Beginnings of My Site Cheers Lee

Superb, Was there a game there as well?

I might want the louvres. Are they the side ones - Any piccy's - How much? Cheers Lee

Hi, I'm an IT Architect for IBM. Which is a fancy name for somone that designs systems/applications/networks or anything technical. Work in financial Services industry, so lots of regulation whicch can be a bind. IT is a lot harder than it used to be. Pace of change and too much Bullshi*t in the industry. Not as enjoyable as it used to be and a lot more competitive, especially in the large corporate and Public Services sectors. Also continual training and lifelong learning if you want to keep up with the pace of change. I would agree that seperating what you enjoy ( e,g cars) from a career is wise. I only tinker with cars as it's a form of escapism from the daily grind. In fact I "treated" myself to mine last year when I completed a part time degree that sucked spare time like it was going out of fashion. Personally wouldn't recommend doing part-time degree with three kids and full-time job, so early education is a winner. As others have stated law is a good choice, but caveat that with my expertise as a career guidance counsellor being on a par as my knowledge of partical physics. Cheers Lee

Very Good Jim

Great gesture... Well done.

I got me a pair of rear springs and a pair of shocks. Fitted on the 27th. Now just waiting for a new tank with in tank pump to be made Lee

Very entertaining. Very quick I did't realise there were now putting that lump in it. Now if only we could get some sun..... then it might be more feasible.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year Cheers Lee

Hi Salty, Yes I have Cortina based car with Cortina back axle. Springs are standard Mk4 springs. (These are the longest they do as MK 5 are half an inch shorter) I wanted the longest due to low ground clearance. But rated at 380 lbs ?? ( this is standard) I presume I had standard springs on before but I always felt it was soggy at back (I hope due to springs being 26 years old) Oh well I'll throw them on and see. Cheers chaps

Anyone got a view on standard cortina Mk4 springs on the back of an early S7. I've got a nice shiny set in a box for xmas, together with adjustable GAZ shocks, but rated at 380lbs......! Too stiff perchance?

Many Happy Returns. Glad you got your SQL sorted. Lee
