Hi , I will be there tomorrow, did the peaks last time really enjoyed it , so we meet at McDonald’s then ?

Excellent news @Markh80 North East Area Organiser see you there!

See you there Mark

I really quite like those wheels 👌

Afternoon everybody my name is Mark, and I have taken on the role lately of area organiser for the north east. I am hoping to put together along with help of some other members some meets and runs out for members to get involved in through out this year and will hopefully be documenting this throughout. I am looking at starting our local meets again as of Tuesday the 15th of April with the venue being church mouse , Chester moor, chester le street DH2 3RJ 7pm This venue has been used several times in the past so feel it's a good starting point to gauge interest . I am looking forward to hopefully seeing some you northeast lads there and seeing if we can hopefully bring the Westfield/kit car scene back to the north east thanks Mark

Just been informed that we will be there tomorrow. Had it been left up to me I would have been in the garden still, chopping up trees.

This sounds interesting. For me, a Crossflow engined car is becoming something worth preserving and the engine is getting valuable - I'd really like to see one modernised and ideally fuel injected

After owning my Westfield Sei with a crossflow engine for three years, and after spending a lot of time thinking, meditating, and stressing over whether I should restore it or upgrade it by swapping the crossflow engine for a Zetec or Sigma, I’ve finally decided to start by restoring and upgrading the chassis, body, interior, and other parts. I’ll also restore the crossflow engine and see if, with all these improvements, the car brings me enough satisfaction. As the car stands today, it has a lot of problems. For starters, there are some fumes coming from I-don’t-know-where, but by the end of a drive, I always need a shower. The braking system isn’t working properly, the pedals have too much play and move around — which feels a bit dangerous. I’m also quite short (1.65 m), and I can’t reach the pedals properly without a cushion. On top of that, the electrical system and switches look old, and the speedometer doesn’t work very well. So as you can see, I have a lot of work ahead of me. So here is my build — or better said, restoration — diary. I’ll start with the electrics, and I’ll try to complete each task as I go, while also doing some things in parallel to shorten the overall timeline of the project.

Very surprised 😮 that this hasn't been snapped up!

Think we should be ok for this 🤞see you there A&B

Thanks, it scrubs up OK for a 29 year old thing. Looking forward to bringing it to Malvern this year.

Is that code for something else Mike? Car’s looking mint 👌

Maybe

Sorry andy going to Santapod Sunday so can’t make it!

I hope he's out every day to celebrate, not just Sunday!

Off to test the new air filter cover

@Jakejmagee’s tiger has passed it’s Mot so is coming out to celebrate on Sunday!!

Wide track kit, just waiting on the longer brake hoses

Bump and price drop grab a bargain 😎

On a nice day like this, it would be rude not to. Pint of shandy in the sun🍺🌞

Yep. 😡 The main problems was lower rear right wishbone bolt was impossible to retract without removing the lower motor mount from the frame, which was held on by three nuts / bolts, two of which were inaccessible without obstruction spanners (see above). The lower motor mount was like sticking my hand into a freshly opened tin, sharp edges on both sides that cut me every time I reached in. Blood everywhere, but I don’t give up easily.

OOOOOWWWWCCCHHHH! 😱😱

Right side done apart from setting the ride height. Beer o’clock might be early today:

F*** you dumb motor mount, back in at last after tearing my forearms and hands to shreds to remove and reinstall it:

Thanks @Rednop1 These are Stunning
