So here is the latest project. A mk1 Cortina Deluxe. Picked it up local, ish. After selling my 100e.
I got it down to a very good price due to the fact that its build quality isn't the best๐ mainly the paint looks like it was thrown on with a Bucket!!! ๐ณ Anyway I'm working my way through it and sorting out the issue. One of which was the really badly installed 2.0 Pinto ! So out it came. Tidied it up, painted the Engine bay. Modified mk2 escort engine to chassis mounting kit. Moved it all back 3" and dropped it back in ๐ Fronts have been modified to coilovers, rear is on 2" lowering blocks. 7x13 minilights with 175/50 13 for the correct stance and the "south london look " I'm after . ๐ I'll keep updating as I go along. But one photo for now as I'm having issues trying to resize them to below 1MB๐ค๐
Wondered who would spot that ๐ You know me pete.. like to do things different ๐ Plan to replicate this vintage setup on a mk1 escort circuit racer ๐

Oh yes!!! Things are going to get interesting for sure. ๐
Only spotted it when i had more time to revisit and blow the thumbnails up on my phone. Images are the big one that all the work is going in on behind the scenes but for the time we have been running its going well.
Being, as I am, from up tโnorth I have absolutely no idea what a โsouth London lookโ is.
Clean, uncluttered original looking body work. Low with 7 or even bigger 13s on them with skinny tyres and LOW! In other words.. less is best when it comes to looks ๐
Thats a bugger.... thinking about it...i have some n.o.s alloy plates , they are yellow/white but could be sprayed black if you can find white 3d letters.
Are you looking at running a side draught on it like on the one in the link?

An SU. Going to build it with all the bits I've got kicking about
