Missfire on load, blew the block apart, oil caught fire on manifold....gonner :(

Been A Long Time Guys! - COCHYN - 02-26-2010

Went for the usual drive around Snowdon, but the diff's been knocking a bit lately, gradually getting worse. So after taking these pics, I put her on the axle stands and removed the diff and shafts (bearings stuffed in them too), what do you expect from abused 20+ year old bits :lol: Managed to source me very low millage shafts and a diff, so just waiting on them at the mo. Should be back on the road tonight hopefully :)

"Commitment" or that you should be "committed" mate :lol:

Now that we have a decent amount of snowcover I have to try and clean the car up and get some winter pictures (The problem is keeping the car clean until I get to my choice of location :ph34r: )

I bet, but there is a big difference between the snow I get and the snow you guys get....best learn to ski to get to your chosen photo locations :lol:

Very untidy pics, need to clean some excess oil, grease and salt off the underside, but you get the idea. Oh, there's no leaks anywhere just incase you think there is around the fuel pump :lol:

Absolutely outstanding, man! Stuff like that keeps me Focus hungry!

RE: Focus Cosworth (been a while!) - shybri69 - 10-22-2011

Great pics, like the landscape shots, but much much greater cars, and great work on them, dare I say, jaw dropping, my condolences on the first one Sad
(I had the pleasure of owning a Merkur XR4TI - the most wonderful car I have ever driven to date, will never forget it)
