1971 Cortina MK3 GXL

GT's had the same setup too...

your mk2 is looking great mate.. keep it up and keep those pics coming..

im running twin 40mm dellortos on my mk1 cortina, running twin cables... just had to mod the under dash parcel tray to fit them properly...

wheels on my 67GT are Ward Minilites

wow theres a few guys here with mk2's now, great stuff, so by the look of your pics you are restoring the white one that was originally an auto? and the blue one is a 1600 super donor car?, the white one looks like it has a nice lean interior and quite a reasonable body... i have a 1600 super auto that i cruise around in myself, and have a mk2 wagon that im going to start restoring one day...

pics of the wagon:

2 door mk2's are far too common... what you need to find is a mk2 wagon!!!!

on a serious note if anyone has any questions about mk2 cortina's etc or are looking for any bits i can generally help..

i will try and be there either in the mk1 or mk2.. depends whitch one i get going first...

":5nw6w541]are there any cortina wagons there.. in particular mk2s... if anyone goes there can you get some pix for me.. might have to do a mission up to get some stuff for mine if they do...

There were plenty of cortinas. Couple of mrk1/2s - not sure which i'm not big on cortys. Saw one early wagon - GT version i believe hiding under a tree.

would love some pics of this as i have a mk2 gt wagon and a good friend of mine in ashburton has a mk1 gt wagon, we are always on the lookout for bits.. cheers

are there any cortina wagons there.. in particular mk2s... if anyone goes there can you get some pix for me.. might have to do a mission up to get some stuff for mine if they do...

Ok, this has now been chaned to the 10th of december, the cortina club BBQ is also on the same day...

man you havent had that thing for ages... found out that the event may have been changed to the 10th december that is the same day as the cortina club bbq... will keep you all posted...

bamm a 1600 in it and will go alot better

bet ya my 1500 with sideyz will go alot better than ur 1600

are you running a slightly worked engine? my cortina is and i was going thru a set of plugs every 3 months, i changed the plugs from the NGK XXX6e to the XXX5e (cant remember exact numbers) the 5e is a hotter plug so burns fuel better in a worked engine or something... thats what worked for me

if it is a geniune 1500gt cortina it should go pretty well. mine has a stage2 cam, standard 28/36 carby factory flows slightly modified exhaust and will go 100mph no problems at all. a nice original gt is worth about 6-12k for a really mint original one so thats also something to consider, other things if you are going to make it a daily electronic ignition, put an oil filler breather and a ramflow on the carby, 1500's dont breath very well but if you do little things like that it all helps. dont do anything drastic like change the engine unless its stuffed got any pics of this beast and where are you located, i have a couple of mk2 gt's if you have any questions....

Ohuria Domain (think thats how its spelt) on marshlands road.... from 10am... i will be there in the mk1 corty....

see you all there

more pictures....

Its that time of year again where i go crazy and buy more cortina's, i have just purchased this, its a 64mk1 with 81,000 miles, i am the third owner.... mmmm side drafts..... has been worked, when i got it it was column shift, i have converted it to floor change, an anglia gearbox donated its selectors... have since had the back seat re covered in black and am going to put mk2 gt bucket seats in there too.... i also have a GT 3 dial dash to go in one day too.....

enjoy...
