[northeee]

Hi
my 1st ever ford yes i know only get the car today had to wait all these years to get a mk2 as a lad i set of to watch mk2s on the lombard RAC all over the uk with my dad then in my mates Mexico ,one thing about his car the gear stick always came off in his hand ,he told me he paid £600 for the car wish they were that price now
I had a chevette 1.3 but now have the real deal
will get so more pics up soon
todays job was jet washing the underside of the car its was caked in mud,so i could see if there was any nasty bits was too dark to tell when i had done.
looks like its going to need a new rear box its blowing just a bit

Looks tidy

Your trip looks like a Brantz International 2 S Pro

If you go on www.brantz.co.uk they have the manuals on there

Re: Northeee hill/Sprint mk2

ok todays job was looking at the nearside sill /floor as it looked very bad after the jet was and i was thinking this is going to take time to fix .
so as will all do i had a prod here and there and the underseal was so think it was craking and looked like rust out came the wire brush and drill

Re: Northeee hill/Sprint mk2

All sound and solid yaaa so chuffed so i spent 1.30 mins just to do this little bit now going to do all the underside back to bare metal may take me the rest of the summer, painted kurust on this bit then going to hamerite it and see how it looks.

Re: Northeee hill/Sprint mk2

been under the car every day this week trying to clean off the underseal ,gave up with the drill and wire brush as it clogs up so just using a scraper now this is going to take weeks but will get there.
also ordered a new rear grp bumper from west wales rally as this has a RS2000 bumper on it so will get a pic up when its on and see how it looks.

Re: Northeee hill/Sprint mk2

ok did hope to get the car ready to sprint before june but but i am fussy ,pulled front wing off and going to weld on new drip rails there not that bad but think its worth doing
can also clean up the inside wing just need to buy a welder and learn to weld
