That looks great can't quite figure where you welded bracket any better pics?

Is the Suzuki in still fitted ( Inside car)?

What have you used to go through to the Cortina uj as it's triangular & the Suzuki looks round?

its all bolted in the cortina at the moment.

sorry no better povs of the mount..i just mounted the cortina 1 in place and cut it till i could fit the suzuki 1 in and tacked it up.Pulled it back out and welded it as well as some bracing.

i need to gwt a small section of shaft made....splined one end and rectangle the other....( still might buy some bits and make it all new from rack to coloum.)

There harder find now days so this will be a good alternative as it's never been a common thing where cortinas are concerned over here.

 

Most esp conversion are on things that never had any Pas option to start with.

fuel tank boot floor time....

i wanted to change the tank as the cortina one was stuffed so i looked around and decide on a 68 mustang brand new was $210 landed..and that meant losing the boot floor wheel well (didn't like that anyway) it was in good condition and got blasted with the shell so i advertised it and donated it to another build.

so i started with a massive hole in the boot and decided to use some box section and the main brace

ft2.jpg.de5dcb038597ea70962a2fbbad17a47c.jpg

after i welded it up i measured again and found out i stuffed it up  hahaha.....measure 6 million times kids and cut once..so after i cut 100mm out of it i welded it back up again

ft3.jpg.875efcb342902728f8b6125524421d14.jpg

so after getting it right i tried it in the hole...apart from having to cut a 45* off the back corners for the chassis rail it fitted. and i welded as much of it in as i could.

then it was time to make new floor parts....starting with the rear part.

ft6.jpg.f9a8702625b28a9391fe532ece74c202.jpg

then the passenger side

ft9.jpg.ee74370be6e48c0dcf106370c39f1a30.jpg

then the drivers side.

ft11.jpg.0edac6561b46e324b44d0c2552e85c4d.jpg

then made the 2 caps for the back corners from where i had to trim it for the chassis rails.

ft15.jpg.ae26d474094d200c17f38fe9bce0ddac.jpg

then a quick clean up 

ft16.jpg.2560e74769be4231e220ad60c49b7c58.jpg

and throw the tank in to see if it fits.
