Ok, my BMW is getting fixed now, which is great news i thought it would be later on this year before the work was started. But unfortunately this means the cortina will have to go... so see it in the for sale section soon

By the way, thanks for saying Hi everyone there are some pretty cool cars in the signatures on here!!!

Nah, its not RTR. But thanks for the link, the club looks like it might be good to join. I'll see if i can make it to the rally at Billing, my dad lives near there. Most of my summer weekends are taken up with VW or hotrod shows, but there are a few gaps for me to fit in some Ford shows i think!

Yeah, i might just do that thanks for the advice I don't really plan to do any mods, so its just a question of needing bits if something breaks or goes wrong, so fingers crossed eh? I've spent the last 7 years in the VW scene, which is just huge! I've owned a few beetles, a karmann ghia and my beloved splitscreen panel van. But there does seem to be quite a good club scene for retro Fords and i love lots of retro cars

Hello fellow newbie like mk1 fiestas, they remind me of my youth

Got a ball joint off ebay and got it MOT'd today

I'll give that a go. I really hope parts are easier to get than they appear right now... I've had various cars from the 60's and 70's and never even had to worry about finding parts. I want the Cortina to be my daily

Ah-ha, good to know, thanks

Hi everyone Thanks for the link lotusless, i've emailed the club, so fingers crossed for a fast response.

Hey I've just bought a 1969 Cortina 1600E, so have joined this forum I also have a 1975 BMW 1602, but its just come off the road, hence the new purchase. I'm also looking for an early 50's Ford or Chevy, but it could be some time til i find the right one! My Cortina needs a ball joint for its MOT, and i've been looking online, googling, on here etc, but i'm drawing a zero.. If anyone has any suggestions where i can buy parts, please let me know! I've been to a few Retro Rides meets over the last year or two with my BMW, and the Retro Rides and Classic Ford shows over the years. So i'm looking forward to some more with the new Cortina Will add a pic of the car to my signature soon...
