CAN'T WAIT TO GET INTO MY MK2 CORTINA, I PURCHASED ABOUT 4 MONTHS, 3 TIMES FEATURED WITH V6 ENGINE BUT V6 HAD TO GO. GOT MY COSSIE ENGINE AND BOX READY, JUST NEED TO SORT A FEW THINGS OUT AND MAKE FEW BRAKETS FOR THE SET UP TP FIT. NEED TO SORT OUT A STEERING RACK CONVERSION FIRST AND REPAINT BAY AND BOOT.

 

Im half way through mine started from a std shell so been a lot of work, ive used a Alan Dent set up on the front of mine std 2wd sump fitts with his cross member.

He will do as much or as little as you want, a full kit normaly has a custom cross member using a mk1 escort rack, rack extensions, new tca's, compression struts and weld on brackets, top mounts and new stearing coloum. the normal thing is to run bilstine legs converted to coil overs but im running 2wd cosworth front legs on mine with narrowed top mount poistion as the legs lean in more. ive also got a ARB drop linked to the tca's for track use. You can see the arb linked to the tca in this photo.



This i my dads essex v6 estate Dent cross member but i made the tca and comp struts,

 

your fab work looks stunning my pedegree chum,

you build racecars or an engeneer or summat by trade?

stunning work

keep the piccies coming plesase

 

No just a hobby really, i cant take credit for the tube work or suspension on mine thats down to Alan Dent its running 390bhp and im going to track it i dont trust my work that much, but i have done quite abit myself the suspension set up in red i did on my dads and to be honist wasnt that hard.

Havent got many pics of mine this how it looked a few months ago done all the pannel work since,

 

do you have any contact details for alan dent or will i find him on google?
i have adjustable tca's, rs escort coilovers and rose joint top mounts so hopefully i can sort somethink to fit with these or just buy a full kit

 

All his contat details are on his ebay adds, just tell him what you got already and what you want to do with the car.
