MightySprocket Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 lovely car, looks great in that colour what ever it is
simmo490 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Posted November 6, 2008 it is decked now, well the back is, i am jsut about to go out and rip the front TCA`s struts and ARB off to polly bush and do the springs. done 2" too new interior done, just waiting for my new carpet now carb rebuilt new front lights pan welded nearly there
YOUNGY Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 hi how are you getting with your 1600e.got mine up on axel stands, checking and changing things, ive got to do the steering bushes. and sort the steering box as it is leaking.
simmo490 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Posted November 8, 2008 hi mate yeh all done, did it the other night. had tro grind off the ARB bush brackets as the old owner had welded them on as the bolts were spinnin in the chassis. i grund them off, drilled the chassis right through. drilled a larder hole in the top, dropped a spacer in, welded it. then i bolted my new ARB brackets right through the chassis. whle i was at it i changed the ARB bushed - TCA inner and outer bushes for polly ones. Rear axel went straight forward just on 2" blocks, had to thin the dowl down but thats it. Just finished wiring a stereo in to the glove box and put the final coat of varnish on wood. as soon as the carpet comes and i find an interior i will be up and running. just got to set the carb up once i have done the timng
Grey Crayford Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Very nice looking car, the colour really suits it.
DanV Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 Thats gorgeous mate!! I do love MK2 Cortinas and that one just just seems to look so right! Might be the colour??
simmo490 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Posted November 13, 2008 cheers people. it looks allot better now. the interior now i would say is MINT apart from the lining. all new carpet etc etc. its now dropped and i will get to work polishing the all chrome rostyles, even has the origional rostyle spare
jonlarks Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 Nice Never seen that colour before. Got any pics of the car lowered with the Rostyles on it?
