Well that was a waste of time and effort. Picked up the head today as he's taking far too long to finish the job. The replacement has been stripped and skimmed but nothing else so I picked it up this morning and will finish the job myself. Can't trust any one any more so will finish everything myself from now. This was supposed to save me the job of doing it but i've ended up doing the whole thing any way so I should have done it in the first place but hey ho.Last edited by Jeff Turbo; 3rd February 2022, 12:17.1958 Ford Consul Convertible.

Have to finish his ZS180 first. The front of the car has to come off for me to replace the air con system in the engine bay as it's knackered, then find the petrol leak at the rear of the car. I've already sorted the MOT, welding it needed so it's a good job I love him

And ive managed to nearly finish the zs. Finding the correct parts is a challenge as the condenser I was send is for a 120 so no good. I've now gone to my local radiator company to make one and finally located a new air con pipe that was damaged. The car is only 21 years old but a lot of parts are no longer available with is part of the norm for montego and maestro partsLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 12th February 2022, 21:22.1958 Ford Consul Convertible.

These days there are three sorts of stem seals. Original has the brass surround and cup underneath, new are without the brass surround, face lift with later engines have all as one piece. Unfortunately the new stem seals I had were the older type so I had to strip down the old head and get the cups out as the existing were the later type.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

Well more things for me to find that the 'engine company' lost. The lower sensor for the carb cooling fan. That was a challenge finding that part number. Some good things though as the little things matter, some rare part for the engine and a trial fit before adding the bolt washers and tightening to the first torque stage and added the new thermostat housingLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 24th February 2022, 14:02.1958 Ford Consul Convertible.
