Hi all,

I´m big Ford fan from Czech republic and I would like to introduce my project car....so, first of all please apologize my english

One day somebody kick me into my head and then I found very interesting vision to rebuild Cortina Mk.I to Cortina spider with Granada axles and V6 engine...

So there are some photos of this car which I´m starting with these days...

This picture is how it will looks like in the end...I hope

[

First of all I cut some nonimportant pieces



Then I made some part to fill this hole...



And then I welded this into car body...



Very important problem...this wheel



or this....



"Final" version with arranged wheel arches used from Transit...of course...they´ll be shortened to fit around wheel...





Exhaust is used only to show us, how huge diameter will fit into it...car will be equipped with two exhausts on every side...

More photos will be placed here as soon as I´ll make some more

So what do you mean about it?

 

Different thats for sure, keep the pics coming

 

i like the first wheel

 

Me too, but it´s only 14" with strange ET...and itś not as wide as I imagine... 17 x 8 on frontaxle and 17 x 10" on rear is better for intended "caricature" look...

 

Hi all,

2 Anglicak: Good Luck and keep on going... I´ll help you anyhow, just tell...

 

 

After weeks of silent I made some general changes in philosophy of this project and tried to put another engine in this car...because I'm RS2000 Mk.V Escort lover....I used engine from this car and...Sierra MT gearbox...everything suits fine...

I decided, that Granada axles and engine is too fat for car like this...

This is how it look these days

At this moment I don't know how to realize side pipes from this engine, but anything isnt problem...

 

I really like the idea of an cortina roadster. Hope you're able to make the real thing as good looking as the drawing

 

Mmm, interesting! keep us updated.

 

...after a long long time...cortina is sleeping....we must move from our woskhop to another, due to my girlfriends pregnancy, she live in another city.....life is very experimental thing....

But nothing is lost....as I said cortina is only sleepin...

Meantime....i bought Mk.V RS2000 in mint condition (my previous RS was stolen), equipped with 16" O.Z. monte...and another thinks...

Her she is....



And this is our new workshop....



RST, XR3i and Corsair



Projects..

As a next step I cutted roof....

O.k....photos...

At this moment car is more wreck, then finished car....

I hope, that more work will be done soon, today we installed two post lift in our workshop...

 

This will be wery cool

 

Am I crazy? I think Iam.....18" rims...i dont know if its acceptable or not....my idea is to create something totally crazy...

What do you mean about my choice??

 

the rims look cool on that

 

Yesterday we arranged this to see, how it looks....I think it must be more lower...






..look at the registration plate...with letters KO...its very funny, because at this moment this car is more K.O. then O.K.... )

 

My inspiration....HOTWHEELS Anglia....

 

nice....

 

even cooler cortina

 

very interesting..keep up the good work

 

Cortina is now sleeping, our "team" changed priorities...so now, we are working on other project RST Fiesta Mk.II...Engine is now inside....



..but Cortina is not dead, I'm collecting some parts.....and then...you'll see
