alan1969 0 Posted June 23, 2015 Can any body help I am currently doing a total strip and rebuild on my MK5 due to major rot, I have most of the replacement panels / chassis but I am in need of any body work / chassis measurements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlenewt2067 33 Posted June 23, 2015 Hi and welcome, I am uploading the chassis dimensions from the ford book, its not great and at the moment I don't have access to a scanner...If you are doing resto work, start up a thread and let us know how you are getting on! :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlenewt2067 33 Posted June 23, 2015 Here you go, I have got the centre crease in both pics so I think you can see all the figures between the two... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alan1969 0 Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks for the measurements. I will start a thread and show the progress. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheffieldcortinacentre 523 Posted June 25, 2015 how did bodyshops ever managed to repair these when there appears to be no detail drawings????????????? I've looked for years & all you can get is what you posted???? yet I have an auto databook from 74 that shows just about any dimension for most everyday cars from A-Z from early 60's onwards inc all 3 variants of mk1-2 Cortina can get the A4 photo copied.

alan1969 0 Posted June 26, 2015 I have an auto data book but it only list's the P100 so no good for my 4 door. There's got to be some upper body dimensions out there somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheffieldcortinacentre 523 Posted June 26, 2015 does the P100 have the upper dimensions? or just same as this? this is what I can't understand even the ford manual for mk3/4/5/p100 doesn't have them, never mind the aftermarket??????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alan1969 0 Posted June 26, 2015 Yes it has some upper body dimensions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheffieldcortinacentre 523 Posted June 27, 2015 mines the 74 edition by autodata. the only prob with that is that the door & screen size was changed during84 from the est size to the larger saloon one. if those dimensions are for the earlier est size then the screen & door ones will cover all mk3-4 & the mk5 est.
