thanks

looking jolly nice i had one of these (less the cossie lump)
I will one day have another (with the cossie lump)

In the meantime ill have to perv over yours









there you go fella.

 

all you need to do is:-

open tabbed browsng (assuming ur using explorer 7)
get ur photobucket images up by logging in

choose the picture you want to upload

click the box under the image marked direct link which will copy the url location of the image.
click the other tab which should still be your passionford reply.

click the box marked insert image (its not actually labelled insert image till you rest your mouse on it)

it pops up with a dialogue box asking for a web location.


delete the http bit then rightclick ur mouse choose paste and the image you wanted appears.

all youve done above is insert a link it works but not as well as image.

its that information that goes in the dialogue box
I struggled for a while but sussed it in the end...


check out my series one build
https://passionford.com/forum/restorations-rebuilds-and-projects/247462-series-one-rebuild.html

 

thanks very much for that. Only thing is i have a mac and you cant right click. I'll just struggle until i suss it.
John

Good color choice. And the cosworth sign is awesome. You are doing great man. just my 2 cents.

Hi guys i am the owner of that red mk1 in malta,
I was very happy to see my cortina baby on this site.

I am looking for some info you guys might have. I am currently uprating my front wobbly cortina to an escort setup. I still just started dismantling the cortina struts, but i had got some measurements off an escort which made me be very considerate about what i am doing. The top centres of where the strut gets mounted on a cortina is about 39 inches apart, on an escort these are just 34 inches. When test mounted all the escort parts, xmember, tca, antiroll, struts, and set the tops to 39 inches i found out that the camber will be about 3 degrees positive , and thats a this i don't want on my baby. Some one has told me that I have to use other struts with a different included angle. what do you guys think?

John, have you changed these on yours what have you used?

Great work on that tina, bet it will be going much faster than the 1.2ltr it had in, if it was like mine.


warren
