Default starting problem plz help

rite after my restore, and before i get the interior back in, i think its time to try n sort the bloody starting problem

here we go,

you turn the key to start it, it will turn over for about 1 sec then cut the ignition out for 2 secs then will start again for 1 sec and cut ignition for 2 secs, will keep on doing it unless u jump it off another car then it starts normally, or once n a while it will turn over, cut out and then start,

i have even tryed a new battery

i hope some 1 can help,

if u need any more information of the problem please ask as my comp is on all nite, thanks

I'd check the connections on the starter motor are clean and connected properly, then look at earth straps to the chassis from the engine/gearbox. Sounds like the starter isn't getting a good connection.
