I am currently rebuilding a 2.9i V6 from a Scorpio to plonk in it....notice its a 2 door!! I think it's the 7th or 8th Cortina I have owned.. :lol:

[Guest gooner52]

im in love again

 

that is one tasty cortina m8

it looks a1 weldone

 

got any more pics of the inside of the mk5

 

that cossie wheels on it :lol:

[littlenewt2067]

Well on the inside, the original interior was brown which I wasnt too keen on! I am going to change the whole interior to grey and for the time being have a grey set of recaros from a GLS in it. All the door cards and inner rear 1/4 cards are brown and the grey stuff is VERY hard to get hold of! I will have to resort to getting them covered to match. It was a 1.6 auto when I got it last year with 64000 miles on it, rust proofed from new and to go to a few shows I put a 5 speed box in on the back of the pinto. As I write, the 2.9 is being rebuilt, I have a few nice bits to put on it, alloy rocker covers from the 2.8 EFi (Scorpio), alloy sump from the V6 Cossie, alloy bellhousing from the XR4x4 and have the running gear from a 2.3 GLS with the bigger ARB's, power steering and will probably finish off with with a set of 15" minilites...not too sure yet! I will also be uprating the brakes by putting Mk2 Granada calipers on with Capri 2.8 vented discs, I have the bigger drums on the back from the 2.3 axle. I will be using the type 9 box on this one.

 

I also have another 2 door the same in blue, this one will probably be converted to run on Sierra IRS, I have a mate who specialises in this conversion on the Mk3,Mk4 and Mk5..(usually with a 24v Cossie lump pushing it!) Maybe a V8, although I would like to keep it Ford..so a 351 sounds nice!! :ph34r:

[Guest gooner52]

all sounds very nice m8

 

sounds like you have got your hands full

 

should go like a rocket with the 2.9 put in

 

had a grey chatsworth in my crusader which was two tone red/silver with the vv ford carb(which was crap)

 

good to see a nice clean one m8 :ph34r:

If you had a Zephyr 4 or a Vauxhall Cresta you could actually sit/stand in the engine bay to work on the engine. :lol:

No but I bought the car without seeing it as it is rare one and the price was worth a gamble, when it turned up I was pretty surprised, my surname is Aldridge and some people think it is a private plate!! :)

tell me about it gooner the colour is nordic blue all to often people would say it was sky blue, i got qiute a name for myself in this car becuase it was loud and i was the only one in our group who could handle it. thought i was russel brookes! :)

 

one of the biggest laughs i ever had..... i used jump it over the local back road hump back bridge (sandford lane el dingo knows where that is) and i used to race my mate in his mk3 1.4 astra down country lanes the old girl used to keep up, albeit when i was young and foolish wouldn't recommend it now. :)

 

tried to get another one but to expense and thin one the ground now. :)

[littlenewt2067]

If you pick up a 4 door these are still reasonable in price...the 2 doors though...forget it...mega bucks for a shed! :)

[Guest gooner52]
