Hi Mate What a cool place to work steve is a nice guy

 

Fairplay mate, is the red 4x4 now 2wd gt30 saph going yet ?

been to steves a couple of times and he's a great bloke... good luck with the new job..

 

you know/hear of a walter ainsworth?

 

It must be nice to work on all sorts of preformance cars.

 

there was a rally co driver,i don't know if its the same walter ainsworth who does wheel building and motorsport suspension

 

Hello mate, I didn't know you were over there now !! Nice one mate, enjoy. have you had any pranks played on you yet Thanks for putting into my collection too, I really appreciated that . Give my regards to Scotie too

 

good luck with new job, sounds very good place to work.

 

he is still building fords but more of late he is looking after a couple of astin martin db9 gt4 race cars
2 ford falcon race cars

and he has a molser (dont think thats spelt right) race cars

so that is more than a full years work right there plus all the long weekends away with these cars racing is a lot to take on

but like i said he is still messing with fords

we are in the prosess of building his car back but only inbetween jobs

 

yeh good spec that car
and he did the right thing with rwd

 

my engine and steves are the only big spec yb engines being built

there is a couple of others being built

and a few 800 bhp v8's under construction when pistons arrive from america

 

Fair play mate.
Steve looks after my 3dr so no doubt i'll be meeting you in the near future

 

he build my dad a group A saf about 18 years ago,, drive tec in preston,, was just wondering what he was at now,

 

I remember a few companys into rallying from Preston, Presto Car,Pro Tec http://www.pro-tecmotorsport.com/index.cfm,K N Motorsport.
the walter ainsworth i mentioned is from preston lancashire,there probably can only be 1 with the same name who sat reading the maps in a rally car and built them in preston

did you see that other post where i found that your dads old escort cosworth L81GNM is still out there rallying ??

 

yes mate will do and the kettle will be on

 

Sounds awesome, what kind of Falcons are you working on, is it current stuff or 70's muscle.
Pics would be pretty cool...

 

That would be a refreshing change as normally after my 100mile drive there i get told to put the kettle on, lol

 

Very cool job, im very jealous!

 

I dont see why you couldnt do something along that same line for yourself Chip if you wanted to ? It appears you have the drive / knowledge required Whether it would be financially viable for you i dont know though....

 

havent heard from steve in a while, genuine chap and got a pair of cool dogs,

cars aint bad either

 

the falcons are new stuff mate
propper propper race cars these

would put pics up but i dont know how to lol

 

well pop up say hello
he has had a new kitchen built now in the corner too lol

 

unless that adress is an old farm building then its not there anymore, ive lived round here for 30 year almost and only know of when protec where in that area. ive never heard of them if they are still a trading company.

 

Yea i noticed a few weeks ago when i was making the coffee, lol just before he took my car out for a spin, think he was impressed with it, even though he built the engine, lol.

Tell him it was the Exhaust manifold gaskets that let go and was running sweet once i changed them till the boost controller packed up the weekend, lol
