This place just gets better and better.

...i know what you mean Bri but to be fair the idiots are still in the minority and reading between the lines most of the hassle Mark´s been having has not been on here

cheer's for all the positive comments guys its really given me the boost i needed to to get the enthusiasm to get it done i will be squirreling it away till the cortina is done now so that i can do it properly ready for next seasons shows . i was going to do just a quick tidy up and use it this year but i think it deserves being done properly so its now going to be my 2010 Christmas/winter project .
plans for it are to be a deep candy green with a bit of gold pinstriping with an off white roof with a nice bit of gold lace work and silver flake and a nice simple and clean tuck and roll interior . i had also planned on swapping the rover for another v8 that fits in the bay a little better so that rover will be up for grabs Dave (Oldlbus)

Good decision. Can't wait to see it done. Get a move on with that Cortina ;D ;D

[welder]

Yay!!!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing this revived......i'm soooooo glad you've decided to stick with it.

I like the rat look too.....but I also love to see what an artist can turn a ratter into when he puts his mind to it.........

Seems nobody gives a toss what you feel mate.....they aint your wheels........

[fordf350camper]

I was not worried what you do with it as long as your keeping it.Thats good.What ever you do, with your workmanship and skills will be great on the car and you saved it from being a pile of rust.

[grizz]

DARN IT ORVILLE !!!!



I had planned on pouncing while your resolve was weak and purchasing it for mothbaling till 2011.

Glad you are back onto it Mark.

Plans sound perfect too.

[Siert]

Good news!

[welder]

Seems pretty unanimous, look forward to the build thread>

[useless inc]

Glad your keeping it. There's lots of potential there that I'm sure a man of your talents can do it justice.

[Oldbus]

Glad you´re keeping it Mark ;D

Thread despammed again....Loon forget it,

if you ´ve got nothing decent to say then move on

[nickbrad]

That paintjob sounds complicated/expensive. Judging by the Cortina thread though, I'm confident you can pull it off and I look forward to seeing progress at the end of the year.

This is good news, I just whish I had half your skills in metal and paint.

I have had to put the cortina project on hold for the time being due to lack of funds and the fact the engine still won't run looks to be down to some bad machining work that I had done on the engine meaning it now has no compression on all eight bores anyway had the cortina taken home to live in the garage for a while which has meant there has been some moving around at the workshop and the old FB was rediscovered















oh yeah it runs better than ever now as well ;D


the rover is still coming out though the way it fits is just plane scary

[jonnys2]

woah loadsa potential there fella

[zagatoman]

Hi, do you want to sell it?

Paul
