sheepers Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 the cars looking good man. i reckon your new zorst could be full of crap but you'll know after a couple of weeks if its still doing it then it might be coming from the motor. give it a while to clean itself and see how it looks then. maybe some rev tuning might help?

grimlok Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 F&%KIN' SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Looking forward to watching the Essex swap come together. A 3x more betterer v6 than the colonge from the mk5 ghia imho. What g/box are you going to use? Your center console kung foo is well done too. Good score on the GT Center. Envious, I don't have one of thems. Do a brother a solid and post up some photos of your tunnel mounting brackets when you do them good sir. My console didn't come with brackets either. Resisting the urge to steal more great ideas from your build. Love it dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escortn Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Cheers! I've got a type 9 5 speed in it now and may have found a bell housing that will join the two but I've read that they don't handle the torque to well unless it's a later type 9 out of a v6 Sierra, so if one ever happens to pop up I'll look into that. Haha your grille still trumps my console. Should be getting stuck into the brackets next week so I'll chuck up a few pics and dimensions of whatever I can come up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Awesome. Have a Hell of a soft spot for the old Mk3 Cortina. Keen for some interior pics. Also try adjusting your rear brakes and silly question but did you put the callipers back on the correct sides? The bleed nipples need to be at the top. Good work man.

Cheers man, Haha I nearly put them on the wrong sides actually, luckily I'd bled them before and remembered how it all went. That's a good point, I'll give it a go this weekend, cheers. I've just been pulling my steering column out to investigate all the play in it so I'll get some interior shots along with that mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
