Huge piccies Borgy & the clip wouldn't play, but I like that. Very 70s in a cool retro kinda way! Big rubber & Jag IRSs will always look good  :D You said you'd bought an Escort van -this isn't yours is it? Always on the look out for stuff to feature in the Motors section. In keeping with the rest of the site, it doesn't have to be a pristine, mega buck show winner to get in. Ongoing projects are more interesting I think. Whether it's yours or not, why not take a few more piccies, (engine bay, etc), write a few paragraphs, (owner's name, vehicle model, what work's been done, what else is planned, how long it's taken, any problems encountered, that kinda thing), include some build shots if the owner's got 'em & send it all to Yodie. I'm really hoping to learn how to start creating web pages myself in the next few months so want to post a lot more stuff & want to encourage you lot to add your bit too!

Erm, what am I looking for in that link mate?
My brother Steve's first project was an Escort van. White, with pine panelled interior as I recall. I remember riding to the Blackbushe drag races in the back of it. Happy days!
Still on the lookout for old biker/car/racing pics if you've got anything you'd like to share with us!

Success!
How does that work? Does it cut off power to the ignition coil & re-route it to a spark plug fitted in the tail pipe like the American "Flamers" kits?

yer I think its just a spark plug fitted to the tail pipe, don't take much spark to ignite hot fuel.

I will find more out when I do my report
