thanks for all the comments 😎 The wheels will be going silver for sure! The red/pink/maroon paint will be staying - it’s an original Monaco red paint code car so I want to retain that. I’ll be painting the engine bay before the lump goes in but that’s it for now. time to pull my finger out and get a build thread started 👍🏻

Hi I’m not sure on this to be fair. The exhaust came with the car (not fitted) The previous owner said it was off a mk1 cortina but did not say which spec other than it was used with the manifold I also have which was a Xflow thanks james

Carbs now sold offers considered on everything else J

I’m based near Cambridge James

Thanks! Missed old fords too much. Hoping to get the Tina on the road by the end of the summer if I can. Lots to do 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hi all I have a number of parts for sale that I want to sell to raise funds for my Mk1 Cortina project. None of these bits are tested/new/come with any guarantees but feel free to ask questions. All collection preferred if possible but will consider shipping at cost on top of price below £250 twin 40s on manifold £400 for the Xflow 105speed (piper) manifold £250 for the mk1 Cortina 2inch SS exhaust £300 for the Cobra seats with runners and TRS belts (please note, one seat has white paint on the under side and runner) £60 for the 711 1300 Xflow engine £50 for the 4 speed Cortina 1200 gearbox £100 for the St170 FWD exhaust manifold with stainless steel decat pipe

Hi all Finally after about 5 years I am embarking on a new classic ford project in the shape of a 64 plate mk1 cortina. So not a new user as such but looking forward to getting back in to things. The car is shabby but solid enough and I cant afford to paint it! About to undergo a lot of new mechanics and an ST170 transplant however so it should be fun looking forward to catching up and getting back to some meets that I havent been to in a long time All the best James

Hi guys, Im about to strip my escort down for fabrication work to get underway... I was wondering if anyone could recommend a reasonably priced paint shop in the cambridgeshire/essex/herts area. I need to find out some rough costs for prep and full respray. Would you blast before the fabrication and after before prep and paint??? Im still thinking about blasting it myself (if i could find the space) Can anyone recommend a blasters and rough price idea for it? Iv had some quotes around £1100 quid but want to know if its cheaper anywhere else... Cheers for the info James.

Hi guys, Havent been on here much for a while (work is crazy) I need some advice please My escort has been off the road for a couple of months now and I have finally decided (and got the money) to completely strip it (mechanically) and have some fabrication work done on it... Im pretty sure its a solid car (Baz did a top job ) but my issue is I dont know whether to have it completely blasted before the work goes ahead or just the underneath and inside blasted... Paul who is doing it can work either way im just conscious of having a car in primer/exposed as it will take me a while to get the money together for paint etc... Im having it bubbled, turreted, linked and watts towers and a weld in cage plus some other bits What should I do??? its def going to have a respray at some point but it may be sometime after the fabrication is done... I dont have much idea about prepping and sorting the shell can anyone help??? Cheers James.

il try and get some up at some point... was teaching a few plastics how to drive tho which is always good - and taking passengers round that started clinging to the seat coz they were bricking it
