v8cortina

Those were the days I had a 63 Mk1 Cortina jacked up, red light over axle, wide steels - going back almost 30 years!! now

I searched and found. Scanned these in - hope it gives you a good idea what it might be like

It is off a 1974 XJ6 4.2, narrowed 6.5" at each end and has 8 x 15 alloys under stock arches.

Here you go

Hope this helps

Nice looking car. Have you tried adjusting the dizzy position, she might just be slightly off.

I say no chop. I have an old picture somewhere of a chopped Mk2 Cortina. I will try and find it and post it up for you to have a look

ford would have made it that way. i dont know why your bothering wasting your time with that, its scrap. ok dad do you want a cup of tea. ok dad do you want a cup of tea........ You have him clearly sussed

That's all part of being a Dad

Congratulations to your son. I remember when my son and daughter passed, it was a great relief but as a parent also a worry. Insurance companies always change their policies and decisions on young drivers but I had reasonable luck with Direct Line and Hastings Direct. Good luck

Welcome and good luck with the Mk2.

A very lucky person

Same again, 2 x 6x15 and 2 x 8x15 approx guideline cost for now would be great

Here is the MK2 with 8 x 15s. The 9 x 18s alongside. The 9 x 18s in place just to show you. Too big if you ask me, also the style is wrong but it should give you an idea. Sorry the pics are a bit late in coming

Happy Birthday Hope Dave is taking you out somewhere special

Good find, lucky you

The hassle I had (still have) is with a new front panel

Don't mention Mk2 escort wings It has taken me too long to replace two wings. The gaps are crap, they do not match the front panel and is a nightmare. One wing was totally different to the other one, I had to cut so much off the inside for it to fit. Are there different MK2 escort wings I ask? Anyway, good luck - hope I have not put you off!!

I will do this when back at home over the weekend, should be interesting

I have 15s on the V8 and have pics of 15s on the deluxe too. I have a set of 18" Image 3 piece split rims which I can do a mock up if you want or you could Photoshop it.

Not as posh but this is one of my TOYs

Nice motor, voted

With you all the way on that one

Feel for you, that is awful
