Hiya Noel, good to see you're still around mate.
You'll have to drag CJ along to Dakota for a RWYB session this year sometime

Must agree the paintwork is very nice.

[RALPHARAMA]

That bike looks ssooooooo much better for losing the Fisher Price bitz

[Big John]

Went and looked at that when it was on ebay and had a bid, look forward to seeing what it turns out like.

CJE when pigford pm's you for those blue screw heads . make sure you name and shame

so Bunny you heard about the Piglet's obsession with all thing's blue
his fame is spreading or should tha read imfamous


back to the project I like the paint job and the billet rear caliper
someone spent a lot of money on this bike

[davejames]

Love the colour, it really compliments the polished alloy and chrome

What's the score with the 105E Anglia ?? Standard or modded ??

[Wobbles]

Good luck with the resto......that colour's lovely - I thought the pics were b/w for a second. Also like the engine spec - interesting to see what the performance ends up like.

If you decide to sell the footrests, I'd be very interested as looking for some like that for my 1000.

Cheers,
Hilton.

That's a nice bike mate.....a real cracker when it's finished.

Hi Dave, i am into classic fords, Anglias, Cortina etc but modified with the standard look, sleeper style, i thing i am just trying to capture my youth!here is just the one pic as i dont want to upset anyone, this is my main project, its fitted with a ST170 Zetec running Jenvey throttle bodies, sierra type 9 5 speed Quaife box to Quaife LSD

[davejames]

Wow, that lump looks really compact in there.
I love the sleeper theme as well.

First car I remember as a kid was my brothers 105E which he had new in '65. 1200 super that lasted for about a year before it got a 1500GT Cortina lump in it. That was followed by a 1500GT Tina & Mk1 Lotus (seen the prices of those nowadays) then a MK2 RS2000 which he had for 20 years.

I had Mk2 Cortinas, Mk1 RS2 and loads of V6 Capris........sadly all now a distant memory. If I had the facilities and funds I'd love a MK2 Tina with a YB Cossy lump in it with sleeper looks, that would surprise the chavs in their Corsas

[phil churchett]

Dave, Ford made some brilliant cars in the '60's and '70's. Take a look at the magazine stand at Smiths to see how many publications are devoted to that era.
Saw a MK1 Lotus Cortina for sale at the Race Retro show at Stoneleigh last year. Price; £22000!!
MK1 RS2000 and Mexico are still cracking looking cars.

[davejames]

Phil you should have bought that Lotus, it was peanuts at that price

A genuine ex Clark Mk1 Lotus sold for £130k late last year, I've also seen a couple of top rally spec Mk1s for £60k recently. A Mk2 RS2000 made £20k and an RS3100 Capri made £17k a few weeks back.........and we think the price of early Zeds has gone mad

I do love those classic 60s and 70s Fords though, wish I'd kept a few of mine with hindsight

[Keefleaf]

I`ve ask`d around about your original supercharged Zed,no joy yet.
Will keep trying,cheers Keith

[Kwakanut]

CJ very sweet bike!! However, I think I noticed a problem with the swingarm. You'd best ship it over to me so I can have a look.

[CJE]

exciting day today, some bits started arriving, first was these headlight supports & yoke covers and next was this almost new set of Mikuni 33mm carbs, all from the USA the only down side was they charged me an extra £35 VAT
