my friend anita got this 1960 100e a couple of weeks ago as a 2nd car.its fitted with a
2.9 v6,capri axle and escort steering,struts and brakes.its a bit rough and needs some work to get it woman friendly.it came
with an engineers report,which on closer inspection of the car aint worth wank.where these people get the idea that they know
what good welding is is beyond me.what makes someone who,s probably a good mechanic,an expert welder.same with the bloke who
built it.the only reason its not fallen apart is theres so much of it.
end of rant.
