So, yeah...my new Euro

[camera doctor 25]

Ah, the memories !!

I can remember helping a mate do an engine swap in his side valve Morrie back in about '85

We didn't even use an engine hoist - just stradled the block and lifted it out !!

Try that with a BMW V12

Ignore all previous comments it's a Mk2 esky can't believe you guys can't see that, sheez.

Needs re-vinning, but have investigated and it's going to be super easy, and yep the 3.0Si runs.

[39KiwiTouring 2]

Sweet I might PM you before I head up I need some panel work done and I'm from the Naki so I might take a look at the 3.0 and work something out.

Be in the next month or so.

They were great little cars in their day

My mum and I had one of those many years ago. A mate of mine Michael Ryan and Jimmy Richards (yes JR) we did our apprenticships at the same time, back when JR first started racing Escorts, they put a midget Ford V8 60 into one. I also had a 69 Ute running a 1300cc, cam, extractors and side draught. I wish I still owned that. Went on our honeymoon in it.

That's a great pic! I don't think I'll be modifying this baby.

Cool photo Glenn, not himatangi is it? - long shot, time warp that RX2, morry ute and a Mk2 van,

Doogle that Morry looks nana spec, how did you aquire that?

Iaquired it from the chap I am working for in Carterton with all the delicious cars in one of my other threads I started. He has given it to me as a token of thanks for all the work I have done over the last year or so.

Here's a test for Friday morning what is the brown car sitting next to that morry in post 1.

I say a HA viva?

Yup, Viva, one owner since new. Absolutely immaculate. You should see his one owner MK3 cortina and MK2 escort Ghia.

Nothing on his Hudon/terraplanes or His mercury, buicks, Caddilac, Chryslers, plymoths.....I could go on =D

Hillman Avenger ...square headlight, headlight surround, aerial in the right place, the mirror & the colour

It's a Viva

I was hoping it would be a 4/90, but, no....

would do anything for that rx2

I was rebuiding mine at the time. I had exactly the same one in white as well, that one in the picture was my father inlaws. I was service Manager at Giltrap Mazda at the time. I was doing a stage 2 and dual exhaust system. I wish I still owned that as well as the Morry Ute now. I needed the ute for the dogs (Dobermans)
