Default Im New .. Hello :D

Hello Im New On Here From Tipton Dudely 20 Years Old With A Cortina Mark 5 Project Starting This Summer


I Love Fords And Have Grown Up Around Old School Fords As A Child/ Early Teen Ager I Used To Look Forward To Going To Camping Capri With My Father In His Rosso Red Turbo Technics 2.8 Injection Special With A Factory Viney Roof (D220 LOX) Anyone Remper That Event Or Even The Car It Was A Local Car Used To Be In The Birmingham Capri Club Back In The Late 90`s Early 2000`s

Anyone Remember B975 XEW That Was A Red 2.8 Owned Buy The Late 90`s Birmingham Capri Club Owner Bob If I Remember Or Baz 99 Or C844 URE Dont Think They Will Be Still Going But If They Are I Will Take The Number Plates Down

Any Way Back To The Cortina It Was My Fathers First Car Back In The Day My Dad Being The First Owner Its A 2L In Caribbean Blue Green Interier When My Dad Had It In His Prime He Change Everything To Gear Spec Even Has Bumper Mounted Light Washers =] Been In A Lock Up Since 2001 The Reason For Getting It Back On The Road Is I Love Old Fords And My First Memory As A Little One Was Me Sitting In The Back Of This Car Also Need A New Project

Needs A Front Respray To Make It Mint The Back And Floor Doors ETC ETC Are All Rust Free And Lasted Really Well

Its Got A Race Cam Shaft Fitted And It Had Some Head Work Done Down At Aldon Motorsports (Dudley) In 1993 .. It Rocks When Started

Plan By Summer My BMW E34 525sport Project Will Be Conplete So This Is How Its Going To Go New Carb New Brake Master Cyclinder New Ashley Manifold And Exhurst System New Brakes EBC Front Disc`s With EBC Red Stuff Pads If I Can Get Them Pads Also Uprated Springs And Shocks Do G-MAX Or Eibach Do A Good Spring Kit Also Do Bilstein Do A Shock Kit For It If Not What Do You Use

Photos And Blog Will Be Up In Due Course.. All My Times On The Beemer At The Moment


Here Is A Video Of It Locked Away This Video Was Done 3 Years Ago When I Had No Say In The Car.. Crap Cam To :P

I do like my MkV Cortinas

Welcome to the site and good luck with the resto

I would use a Grp2 3 piece 2 1/4" manifold, loads better than a Ashley and work very well (been there done that)

I used spax suspension on mine and poly bushed what i could.
