1964 Mk1 Cortina n/a Cosworth
Here is my Mk1 Cortina that I bought about 6 months ago,
The rolling shell is in very good condition and as far as I can see its never been welded. It came with full bolt in roll cage, 8inch allycats, gaz golds all round, AP 4 pots from a Formula 3000 car, Tranx LSD with 4.1 I think and a custom full stainless exhaust.
Ive been buying bits for it here and there and have got…
2000e box, Lotus remote gear lever, JONDEL N/a Cosworth engine 240bhp, engine management and Jenvey throttle bodies.
Plans are to get it built up and running, possibly get a months use out of it this year then strip it all back to respray it either Team Lotus or Alan Mann colours. The idea is to have it looking like a period race car with stripped interior and a pair of old classic buckets.
Cheers,auld

Ive just bought a new house and have finally got my own workshop after renting and borrowing for years so can crack on with the rebuild.
Put a load of posters up of classic fords to keep me motivated along with a poster of my own motor!
Will update as I go along with the rebuild....
The Harris x/flow that is fitted in the pics was the original plan but ive taken a deposit on it since the cosworth engine came up for grabs.

Thanks mate, I bought the car as a rolling shell without Nicks 2.0 xflow. I planned to run it with my Ron Harris 1640 Xflow but the n/a cosworth came up.
Na I sold bens old Mk1 a while back to a couple boys over in cork.

Got the engine fitted in place today along with an Alichi steering rack and x/member kit to improve the handling over the old steering box.
The engine is a Jondel built n/a cosworth pushing out 236bhp on 48mm Bodies and management so should go alright in the wee Tina.

Well I have been busy on other jobs and haven't managed to get near the Cortina so I sent it off to Scott McMinn Motorsport who used to work for A G motorsport.
Scott made and fitted the gearbox tunnel, exhaust tunnel, seat bars and gearbox mount. The reason the exhaust tunnel is larger at the rear is im going to fabricate a side exit S/S exhaust so the room was needed for the silencer. Top notch work.
I have bought a nice new pair of seats for the Cortina, full carbon jobbies from a 911 Gt3 RS.
And a nice pic of the Tina before she was striped down.....
