  1. looks good that especially for the money :thumbup: Welcome to the cardinal red club
  2. Hi. No idea on the which car to sell question. However as the rules of redundancy are that the job is redundant not the employee, how do they get away with making you redundant but still retaining your services as a "consultant"? That's the first question. Second question is if you are then a "consultant" I presume that this means that you self employed? Is that true? So therefore you could choose your hours and work free lance for other companies possibly, therefore increasing income and meaning you don't have to sell in the first place. No contract of employment you see. :thumbup:
  3. Looks like a cracking project to me Jim As for steering wheel. I love the feel of my mk5 original wheel. Its great. But its your car fella :thumbup:
  4. Couldnt be in better hands that Jim. Good luck with the resto :thumbup:
  5. Jose's fine bud thank you Very old picture with wrong size tyres
  6. Nice car John Mack But a mk4 grille - Noooooooo As for cycling Trek Madone 5.9 Ultegra 10 with Di2 (the dogs danglies) My daughter races too. She's top 30 in the country now at under 14 level. Just bought her a Moda Stretto for next season - Ultegra 11 that beast is :playball: Would love to find a roof rack that could carry the bikes like yours on my Crusader
  7. Just found this thread Very nice car Russell. :thumbup: Well done on rejoining the fold :thumbup:
  8. That's a lovely car Christina Really nice :icecream:
  9. Roy you can't break it fella. Its way too good for that. Shame you feel the need to sell it after all the work you did on it and to a high standard as well. Keep it but run it (on sunny days) is my advice.
  10. Lovely car. I'm in the ditch the wheels camp :thumbup:
  11. I like Sierras, but they're just too full of useful parts! I've broken two now :ninja: Their number plates hang in the workshop as a mark of respect for their sacrifice. Like a serial killers lair :rofl: :rofl:
  12. Yes great news John :thumbup:

  16. Does it still have a steering lock fitted?
  17. Have you still got the steering lock Gav?
  18. Yeah this is me and mine :thumbup: http://keithwrjones.com/2012/02/18/1982-ford-cortina-1-6-crusader-tomorrows-classic/#more-2032 When I restored it, it did indeed have chrome bumpers but the chrome had lifted on the front. So we went two tone and the bumpers were shot blasted then primed and painted black. Crusader models in two tone paint had black ones but single tone cars had chrome ones. But I expect a fair bit of mix and match went on at the time. :thumbup:
  19. ered examples.

    Regards

    Steve

    ran out of letters ha ha

  20. sorry Graham only just seen this.

    Dont think my ride height is high. Have come to the conclusion that this is how they were when new. I replaced all of my suspension parts, shockers and springs, as well as polybushing the whole car. If you look at pictures in brochures from back in the day the ride height looks right. Its just that we've got used to saggy old Cortina's or low...

  21. Lovely car that. A credit to you :thumbup:
  22. Woooo we're on the cover too Made up with the write up. Thanks for everyones great comments. Really chuffed and we had to keep it quiet which was really hard. :thumbup:
  23. spot on with the stripes measurement Bumped into a fella at Ragley who had done his own Crusader stripes - 3mm red and 3 mm black - ooops Glad you have her back together Frankie just in time for the Yat :thumbup:
  24. Yeah coming together nicely very nicely The wipers do look expensive :thumbup:
