Bill, sounds like you forgot to hook up the safety chains. 

Can’t always bring him with.

I thought your parts bin was Dave’s Sharpie mobile.

Yes I can tell that would cause back problems. The seats are just laying there, not mounted. I fooled with then a couple hours today and the back of the cushion part is going under the bottom of the back. Had to make some mounting brackets. They aren’t quite right but close enough I know how to make another set  now that will work, it’s trial and…[Read more]

I’m thinking of a small trailer for my “car’s on-board spare parts bin”. Not a lot of room with a front engine for much else.

I POSTED ON THE GUY WHO HAD THE NEW SOFT BLACK SEATS. BEAUTIFUL SEATS BUY I BOUBT IF MY WIFE’S BUM HAS ANY CHANCE OF FITTING IN THEM SEATS 😆  I CANT GET ANY PICTURES TO LOAD HERE SO ALL I HAVE TO REPORT IS THAT I STILL HAVE THE MATERIAL TO DO THE DOOR PANELS AS WELL.RANDY

Man! I wish I had seats like that! I posted “Doinger Upholstery” a few months ago. Flat seats covered with leather from an elderly but real nice old leather couch. BEAUTIFUL SEATS!

Welcome aboard! Mine is a Ford also. A 1986 English Ford Escort / Cortina. April 27 16 First of all if it’s hot like it is here in Phoenix Arizona you’ll have to adjust the choke on your carbeurator twice a year for summer and winter. And in order to grease the upper ball joints you have to take the wheel all the way off.   Randy / Mr. Bebop  🙂

If you move the bottom of the seat back forward a few inches to line up with the bases, you’d have something really great. If they are installed exactly like the picture, you and your passenger are going to suffer baaaaad back problems.

There is one thing RJL is forgetting. Punctuation. LOL

Module will do it. That was the first thing that got killed. You could also go back to points and condensor, at least for testing. It is the old car person’s tradition, after swapping in the Pertronix, to keep the points kit in the car’s on-board spare parts bin–“just in case.” 

The seats look good.Nice thinking outside the box. Did you know they would work, or did you just “wing it” for the fit?Did your car have seats before?How are you going to attach them to the rest of the car?I take it you’re going to finish the rest of the interior in black?Keep sending pics!

Thanks for the info change the alternator change the coil pack changed all the fried wiring I did find a fusible link by the starter changed it still won’t start turns over but won’t start I’m going to try to change the module in distributor next cuz I’m still not getting spark also swapped out the battery it tested like it was good but I got a…[Read more]

Nice and nice to know.

The bottoms and the back are a set from the same car.

Good job!  What are the bottom seats, they look very comfortable?

My bet is on warped pushrods. Valves won’t open the way they should, so it would run rough and not produce much power…

I went to a tons house in lake lure.nc he showed me his lafer and his speedster.both very nice cars
