DALE 77

after 3yrs of gathering parts working round family & work i finally got
it motd & taxed, (still along way off from how i want it tho)

because the engine is new iv got to run it in,so i left last saturday free so
i could clock up some miles.

After 30 miles the gearbox decided to let go. talk about being pissed off
so i limped back & my a my mate took the box out so we could strip it down
we found the diff bearing race had spun in the casing.

Projects you just got to love em.

Nice one matey. I like mk4 escort vans. Shame about the gear box.

DALE 77

thanks mate

well it was until g box stopped play lol. still got loads of stuff do
do it, i dont think there is any finishing line with a project.

tbh im swaying more towards a dark grey colour. wheel wise i have had a set
of 16 rondells in the garage waitng for the last 2yrs they just need tyres.

i know mate i was pissed off, cos the wk before i did a round trip of
12 miles to the mot station with out any probs,
but as soon as i shell out £118 for 6mths tax it packs up lol.
