If I was selling, this would work for me. It is a bit of a hassle but then you can't expect every potential buyer to be on your doorstep .

Noted Whilst PS would be nice I'm going to persevere with the "strong-arm steering" for now .

The 205 tyres on mine don't help. I have a PS rack needing overhauled but that's it.....do I get it sorted and then maybe add an electric hydraulic pump like some of the Peugeot/Citroens have because I think that might be an easier route than trying to get the Ford parts. Or do I get an electric column conversion? .......or just carry on, if I keep the speed up it's ok

Sooooo, head gasket or duff radiator cap?

Some good advice above, I've always filled the system with front raised and taken out the coolant sender before filling and then refitted when I know there's water up to it just for peace of mind knowing that the gauge "should" work ! -
Adjustable rear shocks - worth it?

I think so, can't remember TBH Working on the ground with the wheel off, facing outwards will work the best. -

Whatever's easy...I know with my front, if I jack it up so the spring is extended then I can just fit my fingers in to adjust the knob. -
Got me looking at Mk4's now! This one is maybe a bit more honest, registered April '77...curious to see what it goes for....... Ford Cortina 1.6 GL Automatic 1977 | eBay UK

1976 FORD CORTINA 1.3 L MK 4 * RARE MODEL * 49,000 MILES * RESTORED | eBay UK Wheel-trims aside that's a nice looking car, cill to rear door corners are a bit off but could be worse. I like

When Recaros were Recaros.....they looked something special against the run of the mill standard seat. I've seen their later branded seats in the likes of Audi RS, Focus RS, Corsa VXR and such..... they don't do it for me. Give me an old school Recaro anyday
-
I think whatever they are they've been re-trimmed as the "shoulders" of the seat back are rounded....they should be almost square. The cog like adjuster for the seat back is definitely Ford.....not GM/Opel My tuppence worth is they are re-covered Ford Recaros.
