cook13 0 Posted April 28, 2017 Just had a flick through the thread and i felt the need to comment..you have done a cracking job on this car and a real credit to you. I recall seeing it on the internet as a finished car but to see the lengths you have gone with it to get it to where it is now, beautiful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

btboy 42 Posted April 25 It’s been ages since I’ve had time to even think about my LS. I left Openreach after 35 years, got myself a physically demanding but stress free job, had a new knee and been looking after two ailing parents. Sadly we lost Dad in January this year. Anyhow today I took time out to fit a new battery and bring the old girl home for a wash and a quick tinkering. Need to order some new tyres, adjust front wheel bearings and go through the carb next time out. Good news is I still have the Cortina mojo 😀 Here’s a few of the old girl taken today because we all love a few Cortina snaps! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Mack 304 Posted April 25 That's sad news about your Dad, sorry to hear . Great to see the LS pictures, looking forward to more ?!! 185 tyres yes ? Will the carb just be getting the lid lifted off and a clean out or do you have bigger plans ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

btboy 42 Posted April 25 Hi John Hope you’re well? Yes, standard 185 tyres - existing are dated 2009 and one has dry rot. It’ll be top off carb and clean jets - certain there’s a bit of varnish build up in there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m really pleased how paint etc has stood up. A good wax will quickly bring it back to where I want it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I work for a couple that run a garden nursery business open to the public. I do the deliveries and much of the physical stuff behind the scenes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
