anhonyb Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 As you may know, I've recently purchased fuels cortina wag not much need for a project thread other than to show it off really A few things planned but nothing too drastic, really wanting to just cruise in it Headed down in the ol' laser for its last trip, it JUST made it down there, overheating outside scrap palace.. A shot of the two cars together when we got lost looking for the scrap yard first fill up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anhonyb Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Done a few little things the next day, changed over to my head deck and wired in speakers to the boot and I've had a roll of heat wrap laying around for ages so I chucked it on, it was pretty hard to do so it looks average, but better than nothing ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anhonyb Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Did a quick service on the wag today, oil change, timing all that good stuff all seems well, not sure if the spark plugs in there are correct though, need to check if the numbers cross reference to the old plug numbers Had to replace a few hoses that go to the carb, fuel lines too, and some wires that got burnt out/melted in the fire Heres my current list of things to do/want to do -Whitewalls -Ramflo airfilter or just a new air filter (current one got melted a fair amount from the fire) -5 speed conversion -extractors took afew pics over the weekend and last few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anhonyb Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 You may have noticed a lot of talk about a fire in the previous post... Was just driving along lincoln road in henderson the other day and ALOT of black smoke was coming from the bonnet, pulled over and popped it to find a raging inferno going on. Ended up putting it out with a bucket of water from a flower shop, fire department showed up and everything.. they blocked off the road for me and pushed me into a carpark All I had to do was go across to supercheap and bought new fuel line and hose clips and away I went. The damage was pretty minimal - hood lining is slightly singed, air filter housing melted in the corner, air filter burnt, oil pressure and water temp wires burnt out, and some hoses to the carby melted. I've replaced all the damaged parts now except the air filter and housing, I'm just going to wait to get a ramflow one for that I'm wanting to get one of these spotlight grills http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Ford/Accessories/auction-375846548.htm And looking for a exterior sun visor anyway here some random pics so its not boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
