Default Mk1 cortina 2dr 1951 xflow screamer

Thought it was about time i added my cortina to these pages , Building the Car up as Track day and Sprint Car , Bought the car early in the year as 1200 deluxe , since then it being going through all its changes









Little Progress very small , Front grill painted and fitted back on now and a few tasty bits ive been gathering ;D ;D

Is that an AX block i see there ;D ;D














Poor Photoshop attempt


Had the wheels refurbed and fitted with 195/45/13 conti's



Fitted Capri single leafs decambered and 2" lowring Blocks and Gaz Adjustable rears and polly bushed back end , was fitted with converted coilover fronts but now have gaz Golds Ready to be fitted



Wayne and Kev at WPE have most of me bits for me 1951cc all steel Xflow engine yep 1951cc :shock:
Have sold a few bits and gained a nice few goodies , Front end of car is now nearly stripped ready for all this lot to be fitted , got to get started cleaning me inner arches and so on and getting engine bay ready for paint , Big Thanks to Mark " cossymax " for sorting me front legs for me
This is how the car looked before it got taken of the road and shouldnt look too diffrent if i get it back on the road :shock:












MMMMMMMMM ACB10s


Would love some thoughts , the wheels are 8x13 alleycats , i will be fitting 7x13 minilites with the acb10s for track stuff
