Here's my 1.1 popular plus Escort,was standard biege when I bought it modded to Mexico look-a-like with 1.6 sport running gear. My first car if only I new then what I know now. Sold to buy my Capri in 1989

My 2.0 sport Capri with RS spoilers sold it in 1993 to buy my RS turbo which I still have would love some old school rwd car but can't justify the money they cost now

 

A few of my Mk1 Cortina 3.0 essex

 

wild is beutiful
any you tube clips of that??

 

some of mine.the first is a -65 P5 taunus with 2,8 and modified type 9 5 speed gearbox ( to work with stock cluch assembly) and is a fun daily beater



this is the other P5 a -67 with scorpio coswort front brakes and sierra rear on merc discs bmw M5 damper and springs up front helmjointed arms and big modified sierra swaybar and sierra power steering rear are stock axel on poly busshings and konis,2,8 with america 3 port heads and wild cam bigger stainless valves and alu timing gear,injection and electric ignition,4 step auto trans with lock up and modified turbine

 

Some nice cars on here, heres my stuff !

 

is the cortina convertible a original??

 

yes mate, 67 crayford 1500GT origionaly blue mink.

 

thats cool,a resto/pro touring convertible would be awesome

 

its in need of a major weldathon!

 

my blue met coupe looked like that when i started that resto to, don't miss the welding hours on that

now i'm doing a from the the floor full rebuild of a 15m taunus for a guy from norway,but that car is in much better shape and there's only 120 hours of weld on that

 

its a long term resto, or am i just putting it off! Is the 15m the front wheel drive one, can you get panels for the Taunus?

 

yes front drive,no there is no repro stuff for it you might get lucky finding arches but not any thing else sorry to say,i had to build the front inner structure of the front from scratch on the met blue one from the suspension towers and forward,

about your conv,can't you find a 2dr post and hack the top part of bodywork of that and replace the complete undercarrige of the conv with the one from the post car?? just add the needed extra bracing inside the rock panels and the rest of conv only extra supports??
i know of taunus conv ( wery rare) thats been restored that way

 

id rarther have a 2dr saloon than a convertable, i bought it cos it was there not because i was looking, i enquired about an Australian import 2dr, proper solid shell but it came up at the wrong time, not enough spare cash!
