fthpl Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 This is my car. I'm from Turkey. I saw our site on the internet. I love it here. I want my car to be restored. What do you recommend? What can I do ? Where should I start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I'm not really sure what to say, it looks like a mk5 cortina. What engine does it have? What is the stud pattern? It might look ok with some decent offset wheels and a hefty dose of slam. Welcome to the site brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 IIRC they are loosely based on Cortina's, from memory there is another guy who has posted on here in Europe who has one that appeared to be based on a mk 3 or 4 cortina. Slam + wide steels/something wide and japanese Damn those headlights scream Saab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Do you want to restore your car, modify it, or both? I'd put on some better wheels and tyres and lower it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTERUS Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 You should just buy wheels like i do, find something with a lower offset than you think will fit and hammer the guards to suit. Paint looks sweet dude, it will probably come up nice with a cut and polish. So the engine is a pinto? yuck A zetec would be rather sweet in this. But yea, my first port of call would be wheels and slam. Can you easily get steel wheels for these in turkey? Can you get them widened? 15x8 with 195/50 would be ballin.

UTERUS Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 If for some odd reason i owned this car, i would find some 15" steel wheels and get them widened by an engineer. Enough to get the wheels flush with the guards. Then get tyres to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
