had this for maybe a year now, spent a while looking for a two door after owning two four door models and finally found one with a few mods already done, i had a few things planned for the car until i had a spin on the M3 so i set myself back quite a bit, im away on tour until september but have managed to find most of the parts needed online, let me know what you think and any idea's about styling and future mods.




how it looked before i had a bump




how it looks now

 

good luck with the rebuild its not very often you see a cortina nowa days especially a 2 door .so it would be good to get it back to its former glory .

 

forgot to add a few details, shes fitted with granada cosworth calipers on the rear mondeo calipers on the front with cosworth discs allround, koni dampers with custom springs, 2.3 V6 axle (LSD going in soon) hid headlight kit (bit broken now) corsa electric power steering but too light for me so going manual, shes still running the granada cosworth auto box but ive just bought a manual to convert over, donor car had done less than 60k engine still pulls very well, plans for the future are to fit the new wings inner and outer as well as new front valance, new lights and indicators allround, convert to manual, new bushes throughout, i was planning on sticking new bumpers on but after seeing the grey two door on skogenracing im getting rid of them completely, wheel wise im after a set of 17" azev a.
thats about it for now, i need to keep a lid on the spending seeing as the army are making a me and a few other redundant next june, i dont reckon i would ever part with her after all the aggro its put me through unless a very nice XR4I turned up "winks at steve cossie4i"
cheers steve

 

Might swap the 4i shell for the tina

Steve

 

very cool indeed

 

talk to me steve what you thinking i thought she was getting rebuilt, send me some pics please mate i cant find any of your threads the 4i on.

 

Im still unsure what im doing with the 4i yet Steve

Steve

 

get her rebuilt mate you will only regeret not doing it even if you do have the three door, the army are making me redundant next year so im retraining to be a spark as soon as im back off tour, will get her back on the road soon and call over for a brew if your not driving and i need to pick your brains im thinking of using some of the bitsa i have to build a pinto turbo up slowly for her.
cheers steve

 

The 24v will be more reliable than a pinto turbo.

Steve

 

just thinking of potential in the long term mate i will be using the car a lot but not as my daily with having the zzr, the 24V is quick enough for now but i will be after more in the future i might sell off the other bits i have and spend a bit of cash on the 24V then what you think ?

 

i love cortinas!!!!!! body mod wise DONT touch it!no wings, so stickers, no spoilers, they look cool as they are, i would love a 2 door tina

 

its not getting any stick on tat mate just a rebuild and tidy up most of the money will go into sorting the handling as best i can, might go as far as an axle and gearbox swap from a M535 or a volvo they are supposed to be good for quite a bit of power and cheap enough, have a look at the Skogenracing site they have a grey two door MK5 tina that was running a 4.0 explorer turbo lump its now bmw M50 turbo does 10.5 quarters and still used daily im pretty much set on mine looking like theirs on the outside.
cheers steve

 

after thinking about it i reckon the only thing i will move this on for is a saph cossy rep, i want something i can mod easily if it goes but i know as soon as im back in the uk i will fall in love with her again.

 

scratch my last just bought a nice cheap saff on here here we go again.
cheers steve
