Still ploughing on ,
done 18,000 miles last year between mot's. Had a few emissions issues though that I tried various times to fix , got worse over a few weeks until she came home on an AA truck for the first time . Pulled the engine apart and found a piston with a bit missing.
A few weeks of Jo driving my mk5 Cortina meant I had to sort this out , then a lucky find on ebay of 2.0 manta engne and box.
This went in without the injection system for now , but it will go on later.
Front valance was also getting very lacey in places and we had bought one last year at an autojumble. So one sunday I decided to fit it along with a sportshatch front spoiler.
Done a bit more pinstriping on the front as well.
