oh yes Terry, I got a nice early hollow one and ground a bit of extra weight off round the holes to save weight

Weren't they made by a firm "oop north" Cadbury !

And Joe I may look like a roadie but my back would never survive

its only just over 30kg that half, its the size that makes it awkward, but there's nothing like it for getting those bell bottoms moving

Not too much to report I am afraid on my Escort build. I did have a bit of luck when i was at Baldwins the other day a met a guy who raced on thev short oval in a MK1. Went and saw him Saturday and bought a pair of rear lights and two window lift frames from him.
Just need some spare time which seems to be non excistent at the moment.
Mrs Delta said I cannot work Christmas day. Selfish or what!!!

terence · 20 Dec 2011, 19:13 (Ref:3002376)

I'm sure Mrs Delta is very understanding

Mrs R is not too happy as I've arranged to drag the old PRS back from the barn storage to look at what needs doing to make it track worthy again. This means her car won't be in the garage overnight and it may need to be defrosted in the morning. But guess who defrosts the car......me!!!

Henrik Pedersen · 20 Dec 2011, 20:04 (Ref:3002398)

My Caldwell D9 Formula Ford project is progressing fine. I have had the chassis cleaned and painted. The engine and gearbox is done, and now the chassis is just waiting the reunion with them. The bodyparts are off to the paintshop, and this indicate that Caldwell D9 from 1969 will be on the tracks again after many years of resting.

So you get to build your cars in the front room as well.

Henrik Pedersen · 20 Dec 2011, 21:28 (Ref:3002446)

Yes, thats the only place with a carpet, that can take up all the oil thats leaking from the old engines.

Eric Falce · 20 Dec 2011, 21:57 (Ref:3002455)

Just managed to squeeze the new Capri addition into the garage, got to make room for the newly aquired Maseratie 222 twin turbo now.

Eric,is that an X Pack or is it the reflection from the XK?

**Tim Falce** · 21 Dec 2011, 08:22 (Ref:3002554)

Reflection terry. Did you get the car picked up yet?

terence · 21 Dec 2011, 09:20 (Ref:3002571)

Eric Falce · 21 Dec 2011, 11:11 (Ref:3002616)

That was the only way I could line it up in the rear view mirrors, then get out and push it in the rest of the way.

terence · 21 Dec 2011, 12:15 (Ref:3002643)

So,is it an X PACK Eric?

Why did you push it in, Escort in first, back the Crapi in then drive the XK in, that way you can exit via the driver's door on each car.

No, it's a reflection combined with the stripes I put on it on Friday. It's a bog standard 2.8 Capri.

Sorry Tim, I dont think it is the 'X' pack but the upgraded injection version with the 5 speed gearbox,LSD and half leather seats. Goes very well, just got to take the heater out and replace the heater motor then everything is done, I hope.
