wigglychief Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 Hello to all at osf! I am Paul I am 23 and I'm all about the mk5 cortina! I currently own a 1981 1.6gl which I have lowered the back 2", gaz shocks and Polybushed, only the back mind as I can't afford to do the front yet lol also it has a Scorpio cossie interior. And soon to have a 2.9 cologne! As soon as it has been finished rebuilt I also own a 1979l which is in full restoration mode at the moment And hopefully will be concourse with a few added extras I also keep my mates 2.0gl which now has a new 2.0 pinto in it and It is painted matte black and just needs new brakes and will then be back on the road! I hope you all enjoyed reading my essay! [/b]

bortaf Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 Not the best looking IMHO but the most refined of the lot most deffinatly, shame ford had sorted 99% of the troubles when they stopped making em. Only thing better than a Mk5 to drive is a south african Mk5 cortina

No mate the straight 6's are Australian the S African cortinas are often 3.0 essex V6 and have a 5 link rear suspension and that makes em handle really well compaired to the European spec cortinas
