    When I see the car like that Dave its hard to think it was originally a 4 dr!!...absolutely fantastic work

    If you still have the original rubbers Pete, they usually have the size on the side, such as 18 for 18mm

    I think the number will be wrong?

    Is it the mk4 type that has rubber along the whole edge of the boot lid with a cut out for the lock or the mk5 one that just drops down on the corners of the rear quarters?

    Well I reckon they were all built around the same time and then sat around until someone bought them, that's why the late Y and A reg cars had early GLS trim, i.e. Before they used Recaros as part of the S pack. My car is on a W reg but MR LIP which was the prototype and the first car built was registered as an X reg originally. I stand to be corrected but none of the GL or GLS cars had the Chelsea fabric

    just checked, they are Chelsea....sorry

    Yes that looks great!! I'm glad you kept going with the pictures, Facebook is fine for the day, but its a nightmare to try and look up at a later date. At least on here, your thread is easily accessible in years to come :thumbup: The underside looks fantastic!

    Excellent thread Jayne, It seemed so far away from being a complete car and then all of a sudden it all started coming together. Ive really enjoyed your thread and I think with your plans for future engine upgrades it will keep the thread going! Looking forward to seeing the car at the Cortina Day 2017!! :thumbup:

    Did you retorque the head after running for the 30 minutes?
  18. littlenewt2067
    It would have resolved the issue of banging my head on sunroof of my ghia!!👍🏼

    I put in a bid... I wouldn't have raced it!

    Hi Andy, I'm sorted now thanks :thumbup:
  21. littlenewt2067
    Thanks tibbs, I did find that pic, but I can't find it anywhere! Ford don't show it in the exploded diagram and Haynes just say make a note of which way it was...!! I will try it both ways tomorrow and see which looks most like that...I was hoping someone would say which way it goes...!!
  22. littlenewt2067
    Feel a right plum, I can't remember which way the oil pump drive goes in, i.e. Shorter part up or down??
  23. littlenewt2067
    I think most have rusted off by now! :thumbup:

    He said in the vid he bought a bag of ceramic from the people he bought the tumbler from, and then bought a bag of granite clippings from the local garden centre,!!!
