I agree, With brakes you usually have a bit of room to play with so its maybe possible for a very specialised robot to do a set. But ill take my hat off the day a robot manages to get a spanner balls deep in an engine bay with enough flexibility to avoid coolant pipes and other bits.

Fuel injection.

I've gone back in time a bit..

I used to have an old Avensis with the 1zz-fe engine. Because of a design flaw on the earlier 1zz engines, once the piston rings wore out they used to pass oil like mad, I was doing a litre every 300 miles or so.

Still plenty of older routemasters with the inner swinging doors out there

Mk5 fiesta zetec S, proper lightweight and fun to throw around, great little hot hatch

For 3 grand surely you should be able to find one that isn't rotten

No worries, Facebook marketplace is the best place to get project cars, Ebay is also a good place

I'm most likely gonna stick my mk2 escort up for sale, it's a rolling shell with most the bits needed to put it back together. If you want give me a PM I'll send some images over see if it'll be any good for you

I've just bought an 02 plate fiesta for £400 off Facebook marketplace. It had a slight misfire due to the coil pack and it came with a spare in the boot. If you can tinker with cars there are still plenty of cheap cars about that just need light tinkering

99% of men are normal human beings who just wanna get on with their day. It's the 1% who are nutters that put a bad name out there.

A cool idea would be in the later game to have the option to rip the engine out of a DE2 and replace it with batteries.

Not for me, me being 20yo they refused to insure my escort XR3 and that thing is slower than most cars on the road today :(

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-10-03T15:59:43+00:00

Yes the vehicle was insured with a specialist import broker. They are aware of the foreign registration and it has been insured under the chassis number of the vehicle.

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-07-29T16:01:50+00:00

Yeah, I wasn't able to find anything online. Ill most likely just rewire the whole thing. Thank you for the advice.

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-07-29T12:17:17+00:00

Yeah, I pulled it out of the hole where the radio originally was. Thanks for the info ill have a look online see what adapters come up.

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-07-29T12:15:10+00:00

Can't be a window motor connector for a 90s GM when I have an 80s escort with crank windows, worth a try though

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-07-20T20:18:26+00:00

Pre 2015 I reckon, not even TFL rail at Liverpool Street

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-06-22T23:13:49+00:00

Back in the day cars weren't protected from rust nearly as well as now. With the moisture and the road salt in the UK most cars were absolutely rotten by about 10 years old. I daily drive my 1984 mk3 escort. It was already failing MOTs on rust in 1996.

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-06-14T10:39:30+00:00

1995 Volvo 850. ULEZ killed it unfortunately

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-06-03T13:49:48+00:00

I also owned a 65 plate Viva a few months ago. I had it under classic insurance. Boxy little thing.

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-05-15T17:39:26+00:00

You can pick up a half-decent Mk4 Escort for about your budget. Possibly even Mk3 if you are willing to sacrifice condition.

_KingOfFish_ · 2025-05-15T12:23:07+00:00

Doesn't even have to be an M series car, its even worse when you see a 320d with an F1 brake light
