I bought these many years ago for my 100e Anglia project (a car that I am still working on) When I bought them they were listed as fitting a 67 Cortina or Lotus Cortina??? I have a set of 1967 Mk2 Cortina struts here and the shocks are too long for them however they fit perfectly in my stock 100e st...

Hi Steve , thanks for the welcome. The last time we talked you were telling me about your wheel buying experience at the Vancouver ABFM. I still may have some questions for you yet as I would like this type of wheel for my Anglia. Just to make sure I have the correct Steve, this is your red Mk1 in t...

Hi Michael, I think the last time I saw you was at the Vancouver ABFM a few years ago. I seem to recall that our conversation was centering around our both growing weary of the car scene with life's pressures, I guess we are still hanging on but sometimes it's work.

Well it looks like you have some work ahead of you starting with the hydraulics, you better give them all a good check over. I thought the triumph cylinders where mounted on an angle like the enclosed pic and there is always Ebay for the correct stuff, original cyl is 5/8 bore http://www.ebay.ca/itm...

That clutch master is a very common part found on a lot of English cars, I would be inclined to just rebuild or replace it just to keep it simple. As far as Facebook goes I have never used it before but you should be able to get pics up soon I would think. Happy welding.

Put some pictures up, it would be easier to say. Here is a vehicle that is a State away from you that is way over priced in my opinion. http://bn.craigslist.org/cto/3261716076.html Most go for about half that in decent shape, if 100e vehicles interest you it would be well worth your time to join for...

I know what you mean, it's not 100% the way I would do it but it's tempting and not too far away from me. My plate is full anyway with the to 100e cars.

Value of a 105e ?

Just curious as I am a bit out of touch with prices, what is a realistic value for this vehicle? (ballpark)

You have a good eye, that pic was taken at Boundry Bay in 1978 just after I barrel rolled it. I actually still sort of miss that car. Your comment Re the Fiesta tweaked my memory, I too drove a modded up Fiesta for 2 years as my daily. Although I am not yet a FWD convert that car went very well and ...
