This is what gets me from a to b. Henry Ford thought this was a good 1.6 but i prefered a 2.8 under the hood so decided to swap it LOL & all the runnin gear went on too.

It was a fun wkend that was lol we almost had good weather through all of it LMAO

Almost is about right yeah, it was a good little project.

I think it would have been easier if we had just had to fit the 2.8i stuff to one car. The fact that we had to strip the 2.8i stuff from one and then fit it to the other made it harder, and then the 2.0i stuff from your car now, into the pickup. Well everything except the engine.

Are you sure? =() Doensn't look like that on the pictures ;)

If I look closer on the pictures I see that it is a garage, but something is missing.. hum.. what could it be? <scratching my head>
PING! <Lightball over my head> THE ROOF IS MISSING! That what it was :D

That is correct ..

We are so posh here, that we can have a removable roof, because the Sun does not last very long with the british summer :)

hehe, then I understand :) Can you take a picture when you have the roof on? And maybe a video when you pull over the roof? ;)

Ha Ha sorry mate thats not posible now because ive moved now & dont have the convertable garage anymore ;-)

There are still a couple of things i still wanna do like drop a V8 in, maybe put some viper strips on & maybe take the bumpers of like i did to the pickup capri i had ? ? unsure on that bit though.
