As u can see I have my s1. That's no1. But no2 I have a mat black p100. Recently the axle went and gbox was making a slight noise. Has a 2.8 Capri axle in, not sure on gbox. First, what is the standard axle they have, and what would be best for me to put in. Second, I hear people going on about type 9 gbox. Is this the best for it? What is? It's staying a 2L pinto as my s1 gets the money! P1 is the winter motor. S1 garaged October till may! Cheers.

 

Anyone

 

get some pictures up of it. :P
and type 9 is alright for them :P, the T5 cossy box is a better box but thers no point putting it on the back of a pinto.
u can get complete type9s used for £150 that will work perfect, the capri axel is fine for them, the p100 diff is non LSD capri 2.8i diff should be LSD

 

Cheers. Will do. She's nothing special yet tho! Need to take the body off for some work, or a new body. Bad rust!!!

 

most of them are sadly

 

U know of any bodys about or just go for removal and repair? Take it u still have yours? Where are u?

 

the standard axle is basiclly a transit axle, but i fitted a ford explorer axle on mine, if you need a p100 axle, detling car breakers had a p100 they were breaking and it seemed clean, had been their own for many years, that was before xmas, they may have weighed it in by now but worth a call, and your less than an hour from detling, near maidstone, kent.

 

yeah i have two m8, im in doncaster.
the best think to do for the skip is find one on ebay with a good skip, buy it and swap its skip over with urs and sell it and hope u get close to what u paid for it originally.

 

Yeah I'm watching 4 already. Nice cossie one on there now near Bristol. White. Wants £2200 for it. If I had the cash it would be mine. Nice motor.

 

theres two i think, ther both nice, a little scruffy, but i would love to buy the one that isnt dented and use it for a winter runabout. the p100s really suit the 24v.

 

Yeah I'm gutted bout the dented one. Another one in Bournemouth with no mot. Asked about rot, no reply yet. If I found a good enough one think I will just swap all the bits over. Got the p100 bug. My first car a 18 was a baby blue p1 2l pinto, twin 40's custom exhaust and slammed! Best first car ever. My 3rd one now!

 

i know of one down near me laid up, i will go knock on it for you if you want. Im down near worthing, not seen it move this year.

 

Yes mate nice one. As long as it don't look rotton! Not bothered about mechanicals as got and need new stuff anyway. Let me know mate. Pm me. Cheers mate.

 

what are u interested in doing to this p100?
just changing a noisy box or a long term project?

 

Long term project. But only as a pinto for the time being. 2.1, and some big carbs. Want it to look good tho, hence I want to sort out the rear body etc.

 

good old p100s lol, seems alot o ppl are likin these mines is still runnin its 1.8 diesal lump but hopen to make it 4wd wiv a 2.8 calogne with 2.3 heads nd a set o fast road cams nd a 4 pot holly should b a laff a think goin to try fittin coilovers to it aswell but not worked out how to fit then at the rear as yet,

 

Remember seeing a purple one in fast ford about 5 years ago. Cossie lump with nos! Pretty sure that had coilovers on the rear! Google it. Got to be about somewhere!

 

the coilovers are easy to fit if u convert the car to run a sierra rear end. if u stick with the capri/p100 axel i dont know how you would fit them, they manage with the mk1/2 escorts etc so im sure its possible. lowering blocks and some avo dampers would see it through i would imagine.
