Today i've given serious consideration to turning my Impreza Wagon fund into a classic Ford fund, £4k for a nice Blobeye SL with mods, vs.....a running Mk2 Cortina with minimal rust that needs a bit of work for under £2.5k. The dog kennel's in perfect working order atm with new belts and loads...

I've never really been a Mk3 fan, but they're starting to grow on me.

Undo the screw holding the plastic on then just pull and it'll pop off, then you should be able to see the metal rod the mechanism pushes and pulls to lock the boot, just give that a yank and the boot will open.

Yeah I bet parts for it are rarer than Unicorn sh*t, don't break anything mate. lol

I'm just going to stay in here all night.

The local mechanic I use has one of these in for a full respray, rare as hell Ford Consul Capri Coupe, they only made them from 61-64.

I want a Cortina so badly!!! This is one for the lottery garage.

This is my new favourite thread! I've found myself getting more and more obsessed with classic Fords.

Ah reet'o.

What's a Bini?

A four year bump, impressive. The irony is I actually read this thread while searching today. lol

So his car is purely ornamental then? :S

3-4 times a year. Although a mate just washed it the other day for me, but he's a detailing freak and I think he couldn't stand it any more. lol

Not one pic of her eating either, share the wealth ffs!

FLOL, quality first post! Feed her some more cakes then your car will have that slammed look without the need for mods.

I thought the bolt spacing was different on cup shocks, or is that just 182 cups?

Ohh that's nice.

Haha f*cking hell what a mong, you'd have thought once he pressed the peddle and nothing happened he'd have realised that wasn't the brake.

Well that's no fun is it. :dapprove:

You need an aftermarket exhaust on that thing, under all that muffling there is a nice engine noise, but it needs help to get out.

Trying to get heat into them. ;)

It's even quicker in the dry. :evil:

The broken alternator bracket had rattled so much it had smashed the air con pump to f*ck, so it was entirely ornamental and needed to come out. It's in the best condition it's ever been, car feels like new now. :cool:

Yep all done, alternator + new bracket, both belts, dephaser, water pump, injectors, HT leads, sump gasket, it does rev better with the delete kit and it seems to unload a hell of a lot faster in first and second, tomorrow will be it's first proper run after being reborn. :D Will be interesting...

The outside's spotless thanks to Raz, the inside.........not so much.

Not pursuit trained then Ron?

I don't think i've seen one of those on the road since the 90s, must be getting quite rare now.

Wheel bearing?

It'll still be soft after an hour even if it is dry, it's incredibly easy to put a thumb print on them or scratch them with your nails, i'd leave it over night if I was you.
