You have a really mint GT there....., the thing to do would be store it until december and then sell the ute and you have still got a really motorable cheap reliable classic. mk3 GT's are getting more desirable as days go by, the next best thing to a mk3 GT is a MK1 or MK2 GT.... you would be spending around $6-$12 K depending on originality/condition etc....

correct.

you will probably just have to use a trolley jack to push the wishbone/spring back into place, i just did the bottom arm bushes on my mk5 and that is the easiest way by far.

i just did the steering rack in my mk5 cortina, big improvement, one of my padock basher mk5 cortina's (dont worry its beyond repair) has that same problem (noisy back end). the fix is to replace all the bushes on the top and bottom arms, and just make sure everything is nice and tight. out of the few mk5 cortina i have none of them lean to one side... must be a north island thing , or just worn out shokies and/or springs.

i selling the ones of the mk2 goat wagon, one needs the glass replacing i want $100 + pnp for them.

cheers

you can come have a look at my gt this weekend if you like, the under bonnet wire is brown i know that much, as long as you have a GT engine bay loom.

yeah black cherry was my second chice for the wagon put alpine green won my vote

Black With Silver Stripe:

Black Cherry (Factory Colour) one of my favourites:

im off to timaru (to get another cortina ) so i wont be able to make it sorry.

these one come up on ebay time to time, i was bidding on some about 2 weeks ago, they have a square oval shape. keywork you will probably need is cortina mk1/mk2 or 1600e etc....

cheers

one of my mk2s (a white super) that now lives in wellington had little knerls that went over the spline that screwed on, they are really crappy cos they are made out of really soft metal and the bolts on them strip, last one i got came from repco, cost me $15 i think. otherwise if you got access to some bits and pieces change over to the early type that has the knerls built into the wiper assembly. $15 + Pnp if ya want one.....

the knerl on there already is probably stuck in the end of the wiper arm.. or has gone for a walk....

cheers guys... just got to get a new headlining and it will be really awesome....

Damn that thing can move... will dig that loom out so you can have some wipers for this fantastic weather we are having at the moment if you got to sumner can i come along with you as my wagons got no rego?

MY First Love

Geniune GT with some fruity bits worked 1500gt engine. period minilites with new kumoh white letter tyres, doesnt need anything doing.... just needs using and enjoying... is currently running 110 octane AV Gas... goes mean as.....







this is what it looked like when i got it (Gold SupaLights)

i could take the one out of my GT so you can get a pattern off it...... its mint so treat it like gold!!!!

it goes between the heater and the trim on the side of the car, i just got another 1300 deluxe for spares so could probably help with some more loom and what not if you need it.

if you do get your car back on saturday, stop by my work as id be keen as for a look

only the one that goes on the passenger side, dont have the full lenght one....

cars lookin pretty good now those over riders do make it look good, hows the GT dash? all installed yet?

have to organise another cruise/meet soon....

GTE seats are high back Look very nice none the less.

Heaps of the pics dont work for me however

Getting a few iof us on here with mk2 goats now. Its awsome.

theyre actually genuine e type seats because there is gt, gte and e. e are different because of the supendsion setup, think they have the lotus supendsion setup? i think thats why they are not not high backs any feel free to correct me

What ya mean by e type?

GTE seats are high back. The GTE is the NZ equivilent of the GT and pretty much the hardest type of shit to get hold of.

The Seats in LowMk2s car are from a series1 1600e, the 1600e is the english equivelent of the gte, has full wood trim and klotus suspension....

hmmm... not a big fan of white cortinas, this is one that i restored last year... now lives in wellington, wish i had done it midnight blue or black etc... im gonna do the wagon british racing green with a gold pinstripe

what type of wheels are you wanting for it..... i have my sources.....

looking sweet as, i wish i was that quick, i havent even started on the wagon yet

i dont use valve master in any of my cars.... i had a mate who used it in his really mint 1600e and it fucked the valves so he doesnt use it anymore and has never had any problems since.

my gt is running 1/3 pump gas and 2/3 av gas. goes great

not a fast back but still...

mmmmm..... crayford GT......

Future Plans:

get this thing road legal again!!
