    how did that work out?

    to contradict my other post that looks like original factory primer and as they didnt bother painting underneath the cars it could be correct - dont leave it unpainted though or it will rot away in a couple of years if you do.

    Maltese cars were no HD shells either - though they did have servos and after the first year the " safety " steering wheel

    I think you will have to get one adapted , you need the gearbox end to be from a type 9 / cortina auto or 2ltr mk3/4/5 and the diff end same as the original from your axle -+ right length - someone may know the correct length . find a prop the right length ( or longer and send them the correct measurements ) and those parts and send them to a prop refurb company to build you one up .

    its one of my favourite letters of the year , they have the sense to send me the 2 reminders in the same envelope to save money and 5 minutes, several key clicks on the pc and zero pounds spent later both are taxed.

    no it doesnt matter if its MOTed or not you can still change the tax class

    it doesnt matter if the car was built over 40 years ago it still qualifies for free tax , its the MOT exemption you cant have if its modified

    yes sort yourself out Martyn we missed you

    only series 2 I believe 2 speed wipers were a Corsair part so a switch from one of those will work it.
  14. the-ford-cortina.com
    it could be a long time before you get to find another
  15. the-ford-cortina.com
    I have sent you a PM
  16. the-ford-cortina.com
    yep thats the one
  17. the-ford-cortina.com
    very nice that Tony

    Unless its to build some sort of track race car I just wouldnt do it - its a lot of work for no real gain and if you make the back brakes too good you will make the car dangerous to drive IMO . If you want to stop better upgrade the front brakes , princess 4 pot calipers or capri 2.8 calipers with vented discs , back end will look after itself just make sure cylinders and shoes are good BTW do you still have the Crayford?

    I am looking forward to coming for a ride out in this - will it be ready this year Brian?
  20. the-ford-cortina.com
    yes all the same ratio but series 1 and series 2 are slightly different - but interchangeable

    Drove mine to Monmouth and back 380 mile round trip - no problems despite the atrocious weather on the trip down and patchs of heavy rain coming back

    very little chance thats not been scrapped - it was worth more to weigh in than sell as a runner in 91

    I will take the transit rads Gary please
  24. the-ford-cortina.com
    I think he was talking hogwash
