Shifty's mk2 rs2000 rebuild!

[Class]

Hey Big Guy - thought that might have been what you had for it after the questions you were asking at the '67 Ford Day

240bhp eh ? that'll fly ! I'll be wheezing along behind you with my 225.7 bouncing off the limiter !

What a lovely looking engine, even the look of it is worth every penny of that £1500 you paid for it mate Can't wait to see it in action.

Well done.

Well thats going to be one very nice mk2 when its finished mate Already looking forward to seeing you pedal it round Croft

[SHIFTY]

Class: Haha Thanks Ian, yeah thats what the main man is saying...I wasnt keen on getting her dyno'd tbh straight after the rebuild, just a personal preferance, but I do trust what John says....lol I sure do wish it cost that much!...yes we will need to get a good tussle together sometime ...im sure it will sound awesome the two cars flat oot!

paul mex: Thanks mate , lol I certainly cant wait to thrash er around Croft too!

Updates soon hopefully!

Pmsl

Sounds like you give as much away about things as me

AFX wont be at Teeside mate, want to run her in before I thrash her...plus Im not too keen on stone chips so soon! lol

I am tempted to take the wee xflow blue/white mk1 as she is gid on tight tracks....might have to not use any brakes at all though seeing as there are some big powered escorts going! , either that or the red bigwing....whatever one goes she will be flat on da mat all the waaaaay!

[Class]
