Now that's beautiful

Drove to Hartlepool, parked in pub carpark, then looked around furtively.

Up pulls a 75 diesel tourer, and following an exchange of pleasantries, there was a transfer of a full T4 system and a few ECM.

I now have to sort out how a Ford Mustang PCM can be used in place of one that runs a Crown Victoria engine..............grooo !

And then see what can be done with the rest of the rubbish that came north today

Two very nice cars you have there. Well done with the new grill.

Just got back from London, it was a nice pleasant drive with no issues, now I need to get this POS bonnet open before I run out of oil...

Drove Kim to pub lunch with the Trikeys. Great day out, fantastic food and picked up some invaluable advice

Changed over the standard grey dash and steering wheel, not to everyone's taste but I'm pleased with it.

It was originally in the Le mans ZT of Ken 'Jubby' in here, he sold it on and the next owner sold on some of the parts here, I'd seen it in Ken's car (not knowing when I bought it that it had been his) It's a PPD walnut dash so a better fit, and was professionally painted along with the wood/leather wheel, not to everyones taste maybe but not OTT, I'm quite pleased with it to be honest, I'm part way through fitting cruise control as well.

today i tightened the in tank fuel filter due to a non starter..
what a palarva!!!, first the seat, wow it was a right royal pain to remove, perhaps a longer bar needed next time to help with the leverage?..

getting the filter loosened and removed was a doddle!!, tightened the two halves back to full tightness easy, but my oh my trying to get the sucker back down to tighten that metal ring thingy what a mare, so plenty of searching on here and i realised that the black rubber sealing ring goes inside the other sealing ring and not on the top, and with a bit of lube and a good weighty push managed to tighten the metal ring and hey presto she fired straight up!....

only thing is now i gotta do the whole thing again next week when the plastic clip thing to stop it coming loose arrives from mr postman.
