Escortina101 0 Posted June 10, 2016 Hello matey, Hope all is well I rebuilt my power rack with this kit from fleabay. It worked well, tightened it up & stopped the weeping oil http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574629005&toolid=10001&campid=5335900709&customid=&mpre=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Granada-Cortina-Power-Steering-Rack-Seal-Kit-Aluminium-Pinion-10395-/331107049550 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lowtina 2 Posted June 11, 2016 Thanks. Might give that a try too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lowtina 2 Posted September 16, 2016 She's back on the road! Nearly straight through the mot (headlight bulb was cable tied in..........). Been driving her the last few days and apart from needing slight wheel alignment adjustments and being a bit revvy on the 60 profiles, she's good as gold! I'll take a pic of her on the new wheels soon but here's one of the replacement, black interior. Because she's returned to the road so late, she'll no doubt go back into hibernation soon where engine rebuild, under bonnet clean-up and further body tidying will occur over winter.

Donncha 19 Posted September 16, 2016 I'm pleased to introduce the latest addition to our family........... She's in need of much tidying around the edges but she's basically incredibly solid. It would seem she's had a few false starts with owners over the last few years. Hopefully I can give her a more secure home and make her as pretty as she deserves to be. She's a 2.0 ghia. Factory (it would seem) power steering, headlight washers and vinyl. Not-so-factory sunroof. Everything works and she runs surprisingly well. Completed a 150 mile trip home without complaint. Like this colour very much............:thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lowtina 2 Posted September 19, 2016 Like this colour very much............:thumbup: Me too! The O/S front wing is the only bit that's the original shade though (as I found out). The rest of the car has been painted a brighter version of Jupiter red, which I'm yet to identify! :headscratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maurice 1 Posted September 21, 2016 back in 1978 at a place called Frosterley up in Weardale My parents first new car a Mk4 Cortina 1.6 GL in Arizona Gold And me aged 8 with Grandmother who is still with us at the grand old age of 96 Sadly this car was written off after three years due to a tyre blow out whilst overtaking on a dual carriageway to which it hit the side of the road that was covered with trees, needles to say it was a mess afterwards. It was put back on the road and was last registered as taxed up until 1983 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
