    I got my clear front ones from old parts store but they didn't last long and started going yellow. I got tinted rears from burtons

    They're not soft lines-they're either Capri brook lands or the RS 7x15 from the Sierra RS catalogue. Soft lines don't have the rim lip

    I had them all round on a 2dr mk5 and it was lowered 2". The only issue I had was when parking-steering was heavy. Incidently 205/60/13 are slightly to wide for the laser wheels but do look the borrocks!!!

    I had Capri injection Rs 7 stars on a mk3 and they sat in the arches(but only just on front). 8.5 x17 might be to wide and I found Front wheel drive offset suits best-I had rs500 cosworth cossie wheels on my mk5 and to stop tram lining I fitted 195/50/15 tyres instead of 205's. Plus unless you've got power steering or large arms it'll be a pig to park!!

    I remember visiting Mr Taylor when he originally built this car-it still looks good after all the years have passed!!!

    ive never heard of a factory fit/option for electric windows on mk5 cortinas. When iv fitted them I use mk5/6/7 escort items as they mount on rubber bushes and were easy to fit!!!

    Just watched vid-very cool...

    Looks rather nice. I'd refurb the laser wheels and fit them with the tyres from the Capri 7 spokes as I also like the chunky tyre look on 13" wheels

    I was given a mk5 2dr x disability cortina in payment for fitting a clutch in the fella's mk3-I didn't fit the clutch as I was owed a favour by a mate so I had him fit it!!!!

    I saw this car completed running and driving in Steve workshop and thought it was a great project. The thing with old cars and modern running gear is that u will always get problems that need sorting and everyone done things differently which is then described as re-doing somebody else's bodge!!!

    This might be a daft question but why are some of the plates on twice???

    Cortina's of any mark were designed to carry 5 people( driver and 4 passengers). A cortina saloon fitted rear arm rests were designed to carry 2 people in the rear with a certain level of comfort(ie more room)and 3 people when needed. I had my 4 kids on the back seat of my mk3 gt(facelift) and was pulled over by pc plod who said that my rear seat was over crowded-he let me carry on my journey tho!!!!!

    I always de badge my cars as I find they tend to rip my sponge as I wash the car!!!!!!!!

    I watched most of these cars being built at Stevens place and they look a lot better in the flesh and they all turned out fantastic.

    I had a black 4 door facelift GT. I bought from a guy who inherited from his dad when he passed away. The car had a ford built 2.1 with twin downdraft carbs and modified heater box
  18. wreckers771
    They would suite an Escort Cosworth because they were meant to go on They're not actually designed for the escort cosworth- they were the Rs option wheel for the mk2 mondeo st24 and st200 and being designed for front wheel drive the fit cortina said lovely The escort has different offset so if I were to fit them then they would fit to far into the arches
  19. wreckers771
    Looks good. I personally think 17" soft lines look good on any ford and everyone kept their cars standard then you wouldn't need to walk round car shows as once you've seen 1 standard car you've seen them all....

    When I passed my driving test I had a red 1.6L mk4 saloon with black cloth interior and a webasto sunroof. I painted the rear panel between the lights satin black and replaced the interior with one from a 2.0s I had sitting around.

    It's on billericay road just off the a128 in Brentwood Essex. Iv seen the bloke driving it about a few times

    If u look at early mk3 mondo radio surround/dash panel they are flat. I was goin to use one of those and then make the whole console front plain??

    In the late 80's my cousin had a pre facelift mk2 granada 2.8i s in gold. It was fitted with spot lamps and the trx alloys and was a 4 speed manual.
  24. wreckers771
    I used to have PEC 417Y in blue and which was fitted with a 2.0 and 5 speed. It has appeared in new members and is in France according to the info

    I fitted p/s from a 2.3 v6 onto my mk5.it was a straight bolt on swap. I used a sierra/granada 2.0 engine with all pulleys and pump as I wanted to go from 1.6 to 2.0 and the cortina v6 rack(have u got the shaft/rack column adaptor for p/s as different length from non p/s rack)but the v6 pipes don't fit so I modified mine-although iv been told pertek can make them(but I rang 4 branches and all said no)I didn't have an oil cooler and the v6 I stripped didn't either
