Hi guys,
Thought Id start a thread as didnt get round to doing it with the last one!! Im sure some of you will remember seeing piccys of my fiesta zetec turbo which I built last year, if not piccys below!!
Anyways heres the new toy the engines going, the right way round
1966 1500 super mk1 cortina
One with a mates superlite on
Plans are so far,
wheels arrived yesterday compomotive ml's- like a superlite but a little different
Ordering a escort front end kit which is Modified escort cross member-adjustable track control arms-modified anti roll bar-anti dive kit-rose jointed top mounts-steering column coupling and ploybush kit hopefully tomorrow so then with some custom mounts from retro the engine should go in
Coupled with above-Suspension- mk2 capri front legs sent off to gaz to be made into coilovers 2.5"'s so quite chunky. You can also put bigger better brakes on the capri legs!!
Once a cosy box goes on there il see how much of a bigger tunnel I need, if I need one as I understand because its an auto it has a bigger tunnel as standard but how much bigger I dont know
Rear diff im not sure on yet, no dought it will be quaife or a similar atb or plated?? Custom prop.
Was on the phone to I/H last night talking about more and sorting manifolds out, oh its going to be expensive
Im going to concentrate on getting the engine in first then depending on funds engine work will be caried out later!!
I attacked it last night, got most of the interior out and half the engine bay lol, found a couple of scabby bits on the floor but for the age of the car im very pleased!!
Going to be working on her over the weekend so il post up piccys as she progresses!!
Thanks for looking
