Stu_B Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Moving house next weekend so I thought I'd best get the cortina out & have a tidy up, It's not been started for over a year - connected up a fresh battery & some fresh fuel down the carb & it fired straight up While I had it out I tried the rollcage I bought from ebay for fit. It's an old Aleybars one & I don't know what it's from but it looked about right... I couldn't believe it when it fitted I'm well chuffed! It needs the feet adjusted to fit properly so I need to find someone local that's good with a Tig.
Stu_B Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Posted May 26, 2009 Gorgeous - get it back on the road You sound like my girlfriend I'm all keen again now, getting it moved next week & then I'll start welding new metal in! My Anglia should be on the road sometime in July so this will be my Summer project
richie_stix Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 think it looks even better with bits hanging off it! but you know i love the cortina!
RFChris Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 You seem to have still not sold it to me yet......
antz Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Has anyone elses computer slipped back to the 50s? The pics are black and white! I thought we lived in an age of colour Still looks a mean beast.
deltamal Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 With no back seats and the roll cage, it's asking for a BIG engine!
over_head_cam Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Wicked m8. Should deffo be back on the road
D-FENS Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 That looks extra hard in black and white pics .Its funny how a car like yours that has big gaps between wheel arch and wheel looks great with wide wheels .Normally people are screaming at you (me) to slam it to the ground when they can see half an inch between arch and wheel.
Stu_B Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 Thanks for all the comments people Its funny how a car like yours that has big gaps between wheel arch and wheel looks great with wide wheels .Normally people are screaming at you (me) to slam it to the ground when they can see half an inch between arch and wheel. I have new shocks & springs to go on it, rear will be staying about the same height but stiffer & the front will be dropping an inch or 2
