Cortina 1600 GT restoration
hey everyone thought id show everyone the pics of my old mans Mk2 cortina GT we bought the car early in the yr and immediatly set to work on it stripping more of less everything off, the previous owner had tryed doing a bit of their own modifying but it hadnt gone quite to plan
spec so far
3.1 essex V6 chassis mounted
4 speed gearbox (being changed soon to 5 speed)
tunnel modified
2.8 capri front bilstein legs modified to coilovers fully adjustable/top mounts (225 pound spring)
lowering blocks on rear/ adjustable gaz shocks
2.8 capri calipers, 9" drums on rear
Mk1 escort steering rack
custom made tubular cross member
electric line lock
interior removed, re-carpeted, set of cossy leather seats fitted
fuel tank spun 90'c to allow twin exhuast
15x8/15x7 compmotive ML
this is the end result
hope u all like
