Come on Lonsdale, time for an update!  


"One of the shrewdest ways for social engineers to conquer their stronger victims is to steadily convince them with propaganda that they're still free." N.A. Scott

What has the State done for me? Since 1997 it has disenfranchised me. My aspirations have been ignored, my choice of lifestyle and my opinions dismissed as 'neanderthal'. I have been redesignated from a citizen to a taxpaying unit. A cash cow to be milked for resources to buy the votes of New Labour's client supporters. I have been hectored by joyless, anthropophobic social engineers about changing my lifestyle to suit their agenda. I have been spied upon by speed cameras and CCTV. My business was crippled by a torrent of stifling, stupid and unnecessary legislation. My pension was stolen by the Chancellor. My civil liberties have been curtailed and I have been systematically lied to by amoral, self-serving politicians. Nothing.

Cuts in Safety Camera Partnerships? while its bad people loose HONEST jobs I say F*** 'em, find a real job. This is what happens to parasites when the host body(state) starts to die.

The problem we all face - is that over the past 15 years or so most people have been trained in dependency - on the government and for it nannying us through just about every move of our lives; and the consumerist high-priesthood who has helped us make edited choices in an increasingly bewildering world. Most people are just puppets to these bodies.
Those who aren't are the entrepreneurs and rebels who drive their own lives, the former find ways to make money from the 'learned dependents'.

Me again!

It's been getting on for a year since I did any real work on the car now but i've moved it to a bigger workshop and am back on the project with bells on.

I've read somewhere that a Peugeot 205 radiator fits fairly well in the Spitfire and has the inlet an outlet on the same side.  Anyone done this?

Main question is CALLING ALL SPITFIRE ZETEC mashers to get back in touch as I will no doubt have a few questions in the coming weeks/months.

In a nutshell, all suspension is fitted, prop shaft has been made and the brake lines have been run so i'm almost ready to fit the body...  

Blog updating has stalled but I have loads of pics and info to put on there so keep an eye out.

Cheers,

Paul.

Dave,

Forgive me if i'm being a dunce but is there a quick way to find stuff in your blog?  At first glance I couldn't see a search option...  As you're blog content puts mine to shame it would take me ages if I had to trawl through all the posts!

I'm just about to hit "Post Reply" then go have another look at which point I'll probably find the search option and will be back with a "no worries I found it" post...  

Hey guess what - i'm also just about to do some blog updates myself!  (unless I get sidetracked)

Its on the angle so you can remove the engine without touching it , also to allow lots of nice room to work on the engine and gets it nice and close to the bonnet opening.

bit late to this thread but i done this conversion about 3 years ago and car is still going strong with no problems. i used audi 80 rad mounting it angled forward and kept the twin cooling. its got correct volume for 2 ltr engine and all hoses come off at the right places, this was coupled with a rover 200 expansion tank.
