hunted

keen on some picks mate, especialy around the reservoir, as ive got the same problem. cheers

cheers mate plan is to get the carbs running, then lower the front some more, and then eventually (when money allows) get a set of 195/45s to bring the car closer to the ground. then by then ill have no money and just drive it until something else breaks haha

yeh ill have to come up with something to get the reservoir out of the way, and then there will be plenty of room for a nice set of trumpets

id be lieing if i said i wasnt excited its a tight fit haha, especially by the brake reservoir, not sure what il do there. just need to get some studs, and a fuel pressure regulator and then start the ordeal that is setting up the throttle linkages haha wish me luck. also, have decided to convert to alternator after burning out my generator (or something). so car is on hold for a while. am flat out at uni so will probably have to wait till study week haha

i got some just from the local auto supply shop. high tensile ones. nothing fancy/unusual about them just take the shock in and find what fits if you dont know the thread

cheers mate

got some new shoes..... front is going to be lowerd a further 30mm (inch and a bit), will run a slightly smaller tyre on the rear (195/60) rears are 14x8s with 205/60s, fronts are 14x7s with 185/60s rims need painting also, and have bullet centre caps for them

thats choice man! cheers

very nice! oh and lukey i was told you're the man to talk to about the sweet sigs a lot of people have.....

cheers for all the replys im actually at the other end of the country to the car at the moment, but am heading back down in 2 weeks, havent seen it since novmeber!! getting withdrawl haha going to hopefully fit the 14x8s, bit worried about clearance....and then drop it another inch or two depending on how the wheels sit. plan was to pull it off the road and to a respray in cream (i have all the paint) and tidy everything up, but i dont have the funds to do it properly, and i want to drive it for the summer

have put up some pics of my oldskool rides in the readers rides section, check them out

haha thats to get me up to the snow in the winter. about the only time it gets used actually

here is my pride and joy 69 cortina super standard 1600 with gt carb extractors and full 2.25" exhaust reset leaves in rear, shorted shiocks and springs in front fully refurbished 13x6 compomotive rims have a set of 14x8 widned steels to go on next, along with more lowering and this is my hillman hunter i had before the cortina and this is my daily ride haha

urgh i have the dentist tomoro in other news, 10 posts, time to put up some pics haha

cheers for all the warm welcomes guy/gals (just to be safe haha) only one more post then i can put up some pics of my cortina =D

just stick a little spacer in it....she'll be right

haha you and me both. im hopeing like hell they fit. guards have all been lipped so im not worried about width outwards, but even on the 13s i have now, the tyres are very close to fouling on the struts up front. all shall be reviled when i have a chance to fit them up...fingers crossed

get angry with it. wire brush on a drill/grinder will do the trick, and plenty of degreaser. make sure its 100% oil/grease/grime free before you paint it, otherwise you'll regret it

cheers guys. just gotta wait till i get 10 posts before i can put pics up haha. seems to be a pretty good site this, am part of a few other certain cortina sites, and only just recently found this one

hey all, Im from New Zealand, own a 1969 cortina super, lowered on 13x6 compomotive gold mesh alloys. have a set of 14x8 steels that will be going on, along with more low
