It has been just about a year since I last put out a report on my activities – mainly because my car was finished and I spent time using it rather than writing about it.

I have had several chats with a man at Errol (Mike Stewart Performance Engineering) who has lots of experience of these engines, and his advice is to get something newer (Zetec or similar). However, I am still hoping, mainly because I don’t want to have to rebuild the engine installation. I do intend to find someone to make a tonneau cover, and I have just finished a little wiring project: I always wanted a car which starts on a switch rather than a key, and with an afternoon’s tinkering I have got rid of the keyswitch and put in separate ignition and starter switches with those nice flip-up red covers.
