sheffieldcortinacentre 524 Posted July 7, 2019 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheffieldcortinacentre 524 Posted July 9, 2019 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d.p.n.s 93 Posted July 13, 2019 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 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 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. then the passenger side then the drivers side. then made the 2 caps for the back corners from where i had to trim it for the chassis rails. then a quick clean up and throw the tank in to see if it fits. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
