I don't think I've ever seen such a bad idea.
Loads of work. Fit what is probably Fords worst engine of the time. End up with a hideous creation!
Think I might buy it just to make sure it never goes back on the road!
I've been modifying the chassis rails the on my Cortina to take a Mk 1 Escort crossmember so I can have rack and pinion.
It's been giving me the arse getting bits of spatter down my neck and in my ear.... but i'm well chuffed as it looks like I can get enough camber using standard parts from rally design and I reckon my 4 spoke american racing mags look the nuts!!!
Not too exciting for anyone else I know. But I'm chuffed!!
Happy new year!!!
Just gonna get ready and go in bout half an hour. Means we probably won't get there til about 1. We'll be in the girlfriends black 1600E.
I went to see Red Hot Chillis nat Hyde Park a couple of years ago.
The Godfather of Soul was a support act. He stole the show!!!
Best live music I have ever seen.
What a shame
Here are some lame pics of my crap bow!
She loved the car and the effort was all worth while.
We used it all over christmas and even had to jump star a relatives Calibra. Funny huh? ( don't make em like they used to!)

Do you mind car parts in the house?
Do you mind me cleaning and painting car parts in the house?
Here Are some pics of my girlfriends prezzie. It was hers anyway but I've painted it and she still has no idea. It's outside the house under a cover. She's seen it and just assumed it was my Cortina. Heh Heh!!

I know. Mad innit. Been driving multi coloured and dodgy Cortinas for over 10 years. Now I've finished off 2 pretty nice ones in 1 year. Don't know whats come over me!!
Just finished putting the girlfriends E back together after it's repaint and it sailed through its MOT today.
Well pleased with it and she has no idea it's done.I've been telling the odd white lie about why it's taking so long. Gonna wrap it up for christmas!!!
My mate has a panel beater/spray shop in Studley. He is the nuts and done a lovely job on my Cortina earlier in the year. Reasonably cheap and decent quality
PM me if you want any details.
Popped up to mickeys diner on A229 to see if it was the right place today-which it is.
Also, thought I'd better have a fried brekky while I was there. Very tasty too so I hope there will be a good turnout
