The latest updates are at the top.

Return to Dad's Stuff

 

5/11/2009 There has been so much work done to my rally car over this past 6 to 9 months that I've had to start a new page, Running Reports No2, one of the first jobs detailed is the fitting of Corsa Power Steering. 
21/5/2009 Another major project has just been started, I'm rebuilding one of my old BDAs to put it in the rally car. More details can be found at Running Reports No1, you need to go about halfway down the page.
17/2/2009 It's taken a while to get this page up, in June 2008 the AVO Club had a visit to David Sutton's Workshop and Museum, the are a load of photos at Historic Motorsport Museum, hopefully I'll get some info added soon.
3/10/2008 It's now almost a year since we bought and started to our latest Mexico restoration project, EIJ5885, I am now adding a timeline to this section and renaming them Year 1 and Year 2, partly just to keep a track of how I am getting on with the project time wise.
7/8/2008 Some time ago I was asked how I tell the difference between Mk1 Escort Front Grilles, well at long last here is some more detailed info, Grilles - Ford or Repro.
11/3/2008 The latest page that I've just started, some photos with info to come real soon is EIJ 5885 which details the rebuild of what I am calling my "New Project Mexico" - this one could take a while to rebuild but in the meantime I hope to keep the updates coming.
20/8/2007 Almost a year after posting my first photos of the event, I have finally got round to adding some more of the photos of AVO Day 2006. The additional photos were supplied by a couple of friends who were also at the event that day.
30/4/2007 The new system of site navigation is finalized, please feel free to drop me an e-mail if you spot any broken links that I have missed. A couple more Havoc Stories have also been added, Article 16 and Article 17.
21/3/2007 Well no updates for well over a year and now two in the space of just over a week. I have added a few new pages. These include XTW 377 F,   FEV 1 H, Contour Seats and A Sad RS1600. These pages are all in the very early stages of development but hopefully there will be more details added in the near future.
13/3/2007 It's a disgrace to have to say that this site has been badly neglected in the past 18 months - it has just been a lack of available time. I hope that will now change, my wife got a state of the art Laptop for Christmas, I have loaded my web pages onto it and will hopefully be able do updates during any spare time I have at work on nightshift - along with my proper work of course. To start with "Work in Progress" has been renamed "My Blog" and has quite a bit of new stuff added.
19/4/2005 I have started a new page titled "Work in Progress" but that name may change if I think of a better one. I hope to keep this page updated on a very regular basis with details about what I am doing. Because the updates wont be major ones, I'll not list them here, but there is now a link at the top of this page which you should check each time you come here.
14/4/2005 Some time ago I started a section called The Technical Stuff, at that time I intended to do some detailed info about Mexico/Twincam antiroll bars and their mounting brackets. Its only been in the last few days that I've actually got round to doing anything about it. there will be more details etc to follow.
10/2/2005 Some more rare stuff has been added to the Stuff for Sale page.
28/1/2005 I have added some rally photos which were sent to me a few years ago, they are in the Other Cars section, I hope you enjoy them.
18/1/2005 2004 was a very poor year as far as "updates" was concerned - I intend to rectify that situation in 2005. I have added a new page following on from "The Rebuild Part 3" and it details some of the work I have needed to do to my Mexico Rallycar to keep her running, it is titled Running Reports No1.
28/12/2004 I am continuing to write a series of articles for the AVO Owners Club Magazine - HAVOC. These articles detail the rebuild of my Mexico Rallycar - read the next three articles here Havoc Stories.
28/10/2004 At long last I have finally got around to adding a Stuff for Sale page, as the title infers it is a page full of items which I have finally decided are surplus to my requirements, if all goes according to plan there should be regular updates to this page so check back regularly.
