Rallye Sport Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum but have had my fair share of old skool Ford's. I'm thinking about getting myself a Mk2 Cortina again and this is the car that has been in my memory since 1997 and often takes centre stage as my screen saver. I have a picture taken at Ford Fair Cornbury Park I think it was in 1997 but it won't let me post it as I'm new, I'll add it soon. Keep up the good work Puddy your dash is exactly what I'm after too the flocking and Carbon looks sweet together. Anyone know of any 2 doors for sale? cheers J.
GT_lenny Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 wicked car saw it years ago too and it's the reason i bought a MK2 2DR 'tina and now spend my free time getting covered in welding burns and hitting my self in the face with the angle grinder (seriously see my resto thread) so i'm blaming you mr puddy but it'll all be worth it if mine ends up half as good as this
puddy Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Posted December 19, 2008 Thanks lads Well the tale of woe continues! Spoke to the shop that have my 200 block today,told me they are stacked out and can't even look at it until the end of jan 2009 ! They have already had it about 3 weeks , so decided enough is enough and went and picked it up then took it straight to this lot on ikes recommendation .......... http://www.serdi.co.uk/serdi2/portal/main/?Section=10 Home&SubSect=15+About+us Should be a couple of weeks but they certainly seemed a bit more confident puddy
zetecmk2 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 kooltina needs a side exit exhaust!!
Rallye Sport Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Here's the pic I took at Cornbury Park back in 1997, it was in the days of old skool cameras that take film, so I only have one picture of it!
puddy Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks very much mate,just set as my screen saver puddy
puddy Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 Well, got the block back today, WAHOO!!!!!!! It looks mint, they've done a fantastic job, and back on standard bores . Also got the inlet manifold back last week but the extra holes had,nt been drilled in the runners for my als . So the manifold went to another mate in a machine shop for a few days and they are now done, then I dropped it off at another mate who does my powder coating, on saturday and got that back today as well, phewwwww! Will post some pics tomorrow puddy
puddy Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 The 'new' inlet all done ........ Fitted with a bigger t/b than the previous rs 500 inlet, and all the fittings under the inlet for the als extra air. Now running 4 x 1000cc injectors rather than the previous 8x greens. puddy
