Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral My Dad got his Cortina home the other day.

It used to be mine which i swapped for his MK2 which i then swapped for the 100e. He restored the MK1 and here it is!

It follows in the tradition of me buying cars that are half missing. So we bought a ruined mk2 1600GT and raped it for parts and made it 'barable' for my dad.













So that makes it, in age order, MK1 Cortina 1600GT, MK2 Fiesta 957cc, 205 Mi16, S13 200SX. My Mum says no more.

Wow thats fkin mint that dude, amazing!! How long has it taken to restore it? I bet he's proud of that sitting on the drive!!

looks cool mate! old school ftw

Loving it dave

Love it!!!!!

Hope to get to see a few more like that @ Ford Fair.

Ford Fair is always goodies. Bit of everything there from 50's Ford 100e's to bang up to date RS's, i love that show.

Its been in the garage to be painted about 6 months id say, maybe a touch longer. Had new fibreglass wings and front valance and new steel sills aswell as a load of welding inside as preventative reapirs. Before it was sent away it had the rear axle built by oneself (proof that im not 100% lazy) with a fresh 3.89 diff, and we managed to fit a 1600GT MK2 Gearbox for the better ratios. It sat around for about 2 years after the machenical work was done, so id say 8 months of work with 2 years of sitting around doing nothing.

I love the MkI tina.
They say old Fords never die - they just get faster!
Absolutely top marks on a great example.
Love to see it in the flesh

The missus keeps telling me "no more" aswell

I love the car Dave matey
