Been a while ....Hello

[swordfish]

hi guys ..

ive not been on the board since jun !!!!! time flys and i didnt noticed how much until i seen emmas pics of JPA's new beast on facebook .. and i headed back over for a look , still fordless , sold the escort cab back in may , someone knocked on my door and asked to buy the convertible and i said a stupid price and he said thats fine .....

so plan was to buy something a bit more sensible for a second car that i could use every day if needed and then get either a shiit box racer for the track or another ford to fix up ........ but the daughters turned 16 and i bought her a corsa to fix up for her first car ( couldn't pass it up at the rediculous price of 250 ) so thats taking up the garage

My Mg 1.8turbo



daughters corsa ..

after


i know they aint fords but the love for the blue oval is still there , just spent the last 2.5 hrs catching up on all the progress threads .. looking good

Welcome back Chris!

You'll need to get yourself up to a Meet night, soooo easy to get to now with the new M74

[swordfish]

think i will and see the new digs and probably bring the daughter with me .. since shes not a kid no more

Under 18s arent alowed in the place after 8pm unless theve eaten in the place. Food looks lush tho as some of the guys get food 1st as they do a special meal deal for West members.

Junction 3a on the M74, take a left & left again & ur at the Mailcoach..even i dont get lost now

Hi Chris , welcome back to the site

How you finding the Rover, is it difficult to get parts or?

[swordfish]

hi paul , so far ebay has been trumps with any parts , before i got it it had a new head gasket and brand new turbo .. so its just been extras ive been buying but its the same engine used in other rover series etc .. so there are parts out there , just need to look in the right places .. also Motobuild is still up and runnning and offers load of rover and mg parts to suit ..

its got a good wee bit of punch and its really comfy ( better than my brand new vauxhall zafira on the motorway ) and the price was better than expected
