I finally managed to get to my first show ,But this time i was showing not walking and looking.... The car was a pain to start in the morning ,but once I took it for a qick spin she settled down , so I decided to get my daughter and our sarnies and go! The only other problem was the temp gauge it seemed to shoot up but it didn,t seem to bother her ,Besides the bangs,knocks and rattles she went rather well really, Well I had a big smile on my face talk about fun .... She dose use quite a bit of fuel so the carb will need sorting out... All in all a great day out and meeting quite a few people and scoring for a pass for the year at York drag strip..

Your motor is looking good Mark, I dont think you can beat the feeling of your first (Trouble Free) Trip out in your car... ;D I attended my first show in the Zodiac last weekend too... It was great to park amongst the other motors and actually feel that your "Part" of the show.... Rather than a spectator... ;D I Hope you have Many More trouble free miles in her! Thanks, Shane...

I got these off Fillis and gave them a good clean and a couple of coats of paint as well as polish the ally parts... They are ford classic struts that have been converted using I was told 2.8 bilstine coil overs.... All I am waiting for is my new classic strut tops ,then come the crap months they will get fitted...
