peteretep Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Build Thread //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/19236-mkcortinas-69-mk1-escort-panel-van/?p=498323 hey, nice car you got there, i wouldnt mind inheriting one of them haha. doesnt look too bad in matt black either howcome you needed such a big clutch? surely the engine would put out that much power btw your uploading the wrong images, if you copy one of the other images you can view the large picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkcortina Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 yeah we went with a bigger clutch as we have smoked standard ones and it wasnt much more to go to that. the click on thumbnail links didnt seem to work for me so i load those so it would take so long for the 56ker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkcortina Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 i managed to get most of the thumb nails working so you can click on them. the link they give you was missing a space between the url and the img 90% of them working dont know why the others arent.

EURON8 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Looks like itll be a mean handling car. Any chance i could come look at the pedal box setup and your new rear suspension goodies?
