believe it or not most of the time i would rather the chicks did not lean on cars as they block the view and dent panels, but in this instance you car is still in a state of disrepair so ill overlook it this time

as a side note, i hate it when mags (especially uk) drape 1/2 naked women all over the feature subject and you are made to feel like a dirty perve because you are reading it. streetfighters mag is especially bad for this and it is one of my favourite [}:)]

The fuel line fitting to the carby looks great, but your fuel filter position is why they fall out in the first place.

Lower it closer to the manual fuel pump.

Just swap the fuel lines between the carby and fuel pump, the arrow on the filter shows what direction the fuel flows.

haha, yeah, touchups in primer, and then entire car in black, now primer again, im trying really hard to get all the black paint off where the primer was painted, got alot of work ahead of me.




on another note, i went to get the escort alive today, and it wont start, well it will, but it wont hold it, i got it to fire a few times, but it died right after, and i noticed fuel leaking out the side of the weber thats on it, sigh.... like ALOT of fuel, stupid amount of fuel lol...

cheers, i got the carby kit today, FINALLY, and i went all together nicely, it came with alot more parts than i thought it would.

anyway,

i chucked it on and engine did the whole "im trying to start, im really trying"

and i touch the extractors to see its only firing on cylinder no 4..

F*CK that pisses me off... the last time i started it (just over 7 days ago) it ran fine, on all 4... so i chuck some leads from our fire truck on, to see if the leads are shot and it still is only firing on one cyl...

freaken hell, i literally JUST replaced those plugs.

ill give em a clean and see if they start to fire.

but anyway heres a bit of an update...

i didn't end up getting a mig (money) so i bought an el cheapo arc. does the job! quite good for the money it cost.



and started to get to work on an exhaust system. it will probably be temporary, i cant see it passing a road worthy lol.

using a motorbike muffler i had lying around haha. again, temporary...







pretty good for first time use..



and there she is

Love the door cards!!

Seriously I admire your efforts. At the very very least you are not scared to have a go.

Nice looking shed.
