I just wish I had the chance to work on mine.
More important things to do first.
I have the car I have wanted for a long time and it's in the dry. It will get done at some point. I always said it will be a long term project.

I have wanted another one ever since my last one died of rust. Couldn't find one so got the 4i which I have now had 14 years.
Looking forward to building it when I get the chance.

Some front brakes for Cossie Tina.
Pug Brembo's with mounting bracket and Focus 324mm discs.
I hope it will slow it down when built lol.

A cortina is lighter than a saff and a focus RS.
My old setup on mine used 283mm 2wd cossie discs and mondeo calipers i could make them lock up at 3 figures.
I was going to use the above on mine but i have another kit off my old saff i will use.
Steve i can get some brackets for the rears cut out for ya. Will find out how much next time we go to jet cutters.
