Still around!

[canadian_Mk3 9]

Hi all, I seem to disappear from the forum for long chunks of time, life gets busy I suppose... Thought I'd give an update on the state of the Mk3 and share some photos.

 

Still have the Mk3, I plan to keep it till I'm in the ground. I guess I don't post much as I don't run in to many problems  It's my summer car, insurance/tags are expensive around my way and as a young man with a mortgage I can't afford to insure it as much as I'd like to, only 3 months a year really. 

 

Earlier this year I spent a small fortune getting a new fuel tank over here, the only reliability problem I've had with the car is rust in the fuel filters. Every third or fourth outing I would plug the first filter (right after the tank) it got to the point where I would remove it roadside only by feel, blow backwards through it to clear the rust, put it back and keep going.

 

Late last year or early this year I purchased a boot trim panel from Craig, really finished the car off IMO, even if it's just an L model

 

If anyone ever finds themselves in Vancouver near the end of May, there's the "All British Feild Meet" each year and that's the only goal I have for the car each year, is to get there. Loads of TR6's and MGB's, but there's usually 4-6 British Ford's around.

Cheers, David

Good to hear you still have it even if you're not using it as much as you'd like.  

 

Car's looking good.

Car looks great, glad I could help. The merker sierra fuel tank is very similar only the filler neck is further forward &: sender unit is different.
