Just trying to arrange collection, think I have a lotus slant engine on its way fingers crossed

Yes bearings definitely on their last legs

Yes me to 😂 hence my user name lol

My thoughts were to sell the cortina on but been chatting today and think I should restore it, but more rolling resto get the engine bay painted and detail the engine remove the interior as that was fitted back in 1988 as the original interior was stolen, replace it with some roll top recaro’s and get rear seat trimmed to match I have a set of Mexico deep dish steels which would suit it paint the rear panel,bumpers, handles and mirrors satin black a-la ‘S’

I don’t use anything! Not seen any issues on cars I work on day to day and do you do 12000 miles a year? dont bother is my opinion

Yes you can’t say your having a engine built without telling us some specs lol and not even post any pics

I’ve been offered a Mk1 Cortina 4 door pre airflow if anyone is interested please let me know currently don’t know much about it but hopefully next couple of days I will Price will be about £3250

If it’s that bad prob diff jack it up and check for play on propshaft

Hi and welcome you could do Zetec\St170 engine turbo or N/A or even dare I say red top (for col) 😂 but depends what you want to get out of the car get some pics up

Really lol SVE

Stunning looking cars, not a fan of a mk3 but that does look good why are you selling up? Have you found something else

Pm sent

Escort GTI

It has an mot 😁 few advisory bits, lower wishbone bushes, brake lines have small amount of corrosion, tyre, battery was loose but I’m very happy with that outcome

The ball goes in between the two pieces and the lever locks it on if you get what I mean lol

Wish I’d kept my cossies lol

Nothing wrong with that car, nice to have a car you can use everyday if you dare lol and not be to worried as some cars are just to good to drive now lol

So it arrived on the recovery truck today and i asked the driver to drop it straight off at the mot station for a test in the morning no point it sitting there, void bushes seem fine and chassis and sills are great will report with tomorrow’s mot update

Any pics of welding that needs doing

I like that a lot, but I’ve just bought a mk4 cortina

Maybe that’s my mums car under the sheet?

Mk5 Rs2000 my mum had a pre production mk5 RS2000 4X4 Which shared some Escort cosworth parts whenever we rang fords for parts they said there wasn’t such a car it was bought from a Ford main dealer lol and was used as a test car apparently sadly it was stolen off the drive
