Default Not seen many Mk2 cortinas on here

Been lurking around on here for ages,
Heres my Baby,













Ermine white 2 door, stock body less bumpers and a discrete reverse cowl scoop , stockish red interior, A built 3,9 Rover on Thottle bodies, Emerald ECU, Capri 3 Front clip, Toyota Supra 5spd Gearbox with home adapted bellhousing, Toyota Celica LSD axle, Porsche,Evo8 and Escort WRC front brakes, Runs Mid 12s as it turns up at the strip with 1.60 60fts on leaf springs, after a forced winter engine rebuild, I should be a wee bit quicker, and with perhaps a wee bit of sniff a mid to low 11 is feasable, you never know how fast the next reincarnation will be. And I may add, has ALLWAYS been driven to and from shows and the Drags after my first initial shakedown runs, its broken only twice in 5 years, Clutch failure, and timing chain sprocket failure, Its still black under the bonnet due to the clutch fire, which seems to have bonded itself to the paint and everything else. Hopefully this will be repainted while I have the engine out.

Ian
