TreeBeard 1 Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) After months furiously searching for a MK3 estate in good nick... and a few disappointments... todayI picked up my first cortina! Granted she's not the MK3 I was pining after... but I'm really happy with her.

TreeBeard 1 Posted April 25, 2017 New home in Brighton so not far at all... I'll have to dig around for the info on here. It's going to be my daily so im considering an electronic ignition for reliability... any suggestions? I also have a set of the original "dartboard" wheels but haven't decided what I'm sticking with yet (I kinda like the slot mags) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Mack 336 Posted April 25, 2017 I had Accuspark on my mk5, was cheep and cheerful but worked only for a few years.......I'm back to points. I think a standard Sierra set-up would be your best bet? :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronxglenn 10 Posted April 25, 2017 Steve Wright on Radio 2 quote, " Never trust a guy that uses a coathanger for an aerial ". Nice car though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow 20 Posted April 25, 2017 That's not far at all. A trip to the ace cafe in may would do it good. Did you buy all the bits with the car too. Ron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeBeard 1 Posted April 25, 2017 The coat hangar aerial is the best bit!... funnily enough I'm actually spending far too much on a stealth Bluetooth sound system... so I can modernise a little while keeping the coat hanger. Why is it not fair?... we're you also bidding on it? I got the slot mags (obviously) and all the workshop manuals etc. Chris (the seller) still has the nos indicators and granada chin spoiler if you were after them... he said he was going to pop them on eBay.

Shadow 20 Posted April 26, 2017 Sorry I meant far. Can you pm me Chris's number. Regards Ron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
