MikeC started following MK2 GT lhd exhaust manifold question, MK2 rear indicator lenses and seat, In desperate need Mk5 coolant pipe and and 3 others

I am on the lookout for a pair of rear indicator lenses for my mk2, Also a rear lower seat base or covers for a 2 door. I would like used if possible as a new one might look out of place with the rest of the used interior but I am open to anything.

I am on the hunt for a mk2 1600e air filter case, and also a pinto 2.0l webber air filter case, the pinto one does not need to be a great one as it is for my mk4 transit.

Thanks for the input, I have phoned Jenkins and had a chat. I was given a ball park of £200 to grind the crank and £200 for the rebore plus £180 for pistons and obviously there will be more for shells and cam bearings oil pump .

I know this is very open ended as to the spec you want, Have you guys got a rough idea on a crank re-grind and rebore (already +30) on a 711 block. I know the heritage on the block as I had it in a cortina many years ago until number 4 piston got too hot. It already has a piper magnum 285 cam which I am going to re use as it was not very old and I have a later gt flat head with larger valves too. I just have not had an engine re-conned for many years so I am out of touch with prices and sensible upgrades to give it a bit of get up and go. I am sitting down to read the replys

Those are rather nice, a mate of mine has multiple sets of these. I am quite partial to slot mags too
-
I am looking for a good box with synchro's on first gear
-
I wonder if this would fit my daughters 107E without much cutting and shutting.
-
Have you still got that old girl Hans? I love that tan interior, you can never have enough mk2's
-
Unless it was something to do with the smog equipment when it was new?.
-
doing a bit in the boot to tidy it up at the moment,I am pleased with how solid it is in there. I won't get much more paintwork done now the weather is going to get dodgy. I will get on with the engine soon over winter.
-
here we go, I think it is to far down the manifold to be an old air duct good idea though.
-
Would you mind checking for me please, I am worried about getting one with the solenoid in the right place not hanging down too much
-
I am starting to go through my bits to sort out the engine. My gt did come with a box of odd bits which included the exhaust manifold. I am a bit puzzled as it has the remains of what looks like a heat shield welded to it,did Ford do this to the LHD GT/E's so the steering box and clutch/brake parts did not get to hot? It does not look like a home addition to me but I could be wrong.

Wow that look a stunningly straight car, is that the original paint? We deffo need more pictures of it.
