The Wedge Watering Hole

+1  In all i think delilah may of been off the road for a total of 12 months in my ownership, I took a chance on a ford mechanic that only does classic ford's..Capri's..Consul's..Cortina's..sierra's..Essex based cars and mustang's..He has been doing them for thirty years..Yes he can be a little bit messy and i may well have to clean the car when i get it back but he has done the following for 1K..In fact i was 200 light and he is totally cool..
1.Engine supply and fit..inc all my bling!..Fit new gaskets
2.Refurb or exchange the steering rack
3.Modify the friont chassis tube to accomodate the sprintex pulley
4.Supply and fit a cosworth clutch
5.Fit a different type of power steering pump..(Capri).. With new hydraulic hoses, Re-routed also
6.Clean engine bay and protect and paint chassis where he can
7.Paint heads and manifolds with HT spray paint.
8.Supply and fit new pulley belts..
9.Tune up.

If i had put her into a TVR dealer to do all this i too would be waiting ages and paying a lot more..I do take her to Dan taylor TVR who is reasonable if you tell him you are on a budget..but i only use them for stuff like geo..suspension..re-bushing..Or anything pacifically TVR..wedges are for life..We cant give up on them..Even if they give up on us now and then..Keep the faith..

Cheers chaps..Martin i really do sympathise with you as you have had a right bollix time of wedge ownership and deserve to enjoy the beast..When its done you will have one sorted wedge mate..The weather is shyte at the moment so perhaps its not a bad thing..I certainly dont want a supercharger fitted in the winter months..It will all come together in the end and you will have plenty of enjoyment from the SX..As i said mate you are a cool dude and are too kind sometimes and people take kindness for weakness..Now and then you need to roar like the beast itself..Its keeps people on their toes..
TBH also i have kind of been reasonably happy being single but certain things have happened lately that made me feel lonely and un-wanted..Women can be fugging cruel sometimes..but there are still some good people out there..Dont give up dude..Speak soon..Happy new year..Ziga

Hi Martin..I really hope you get the wedge soon..Hopefully in time when the weather is back on our side!..Sounds like you both have a nail biting time of it..I get wedge withdrawals in my sleep..I cant handle being without delilah any longer than needed...

Here is delilahs transplant progress..Pretty quick really as i only dropped her off this morning...Cheers..Ziga

Nah, nothing mate at all.
