BDA780 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Choice Estate. Loving the period touches. Did this used to be around the Mt Eden area? Come to a local meet if your around. Project: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/41620-mk2martys-83-cortina-estate/ Quote
mk2marty Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Cheers. It didn't come from Mt Eden, but I do know the one you're talking about, is it lowered on Tridents? I see it driving around Titirangi sometimes. And yeah, i'll definitely be along to meets once it has a WOF and stuff. Quote
BDA780 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 Yeah that's the one. I'm really liking these at the moment. Quote
mk2marty Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Yeah, Mk5s are fairly underrated in my opinion. There really aren't that many tastefully done examples around, especially when compared to Escorts and the like. Still, point of difference and all that.. Quote
J-W-G Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 SO lush! Have always had a soft spot for cortina's always wanted to coon spec one, ie big engine, tridents/12 slots and lush interior.... Quote
mk2marty Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 There is a mk5 sedan with a V8 that runs around here. It'd be a fairly easy conversion too, massive transmission tunnel and no strut towers in the engine bay. Handling would be another matter though Quote
camo_78 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 good man running the mk4 grill,i have the same for my mk5 sport as well as a mk5 ghia grill with the rectangular spotlights Quote
63Ragtop Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Good work getting the ol girl back on the road bro, always had fords growing up, olds had a dark red Mk3 wagon, the a sweet met green Mk4 or 5, and a very spaceship white serria giha wagon after. Quote
- i5oogt - Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 looking good, you don't see too many mk5 wagon's out there anymore. I think there are still 5 or 6 in various states of rooted where I keep my cars if you need any parts Quote
mk2marty Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Cheers all. And i'll keep that in mind, cos decent parts for these (wagon specific stuff in particular) are getting a little hard to find without resorting to Trademe. And I do keep being regaled with tales at gas stations about how everyone used to have/learned to drive in/regret selling their Cortinas. Kinda nice really. Quote

Kinda nice really. I used to get that heaps, I once left a gas station without paying after chatting to someone for 15 or so minutes about my car Quote
Big Value Buddy Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Sweet wagon man. I love the mk4/mk5 Cortina Estates. Keep up the good work. Cheers. Quote
mk2marty Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Cheers mate. Seems like everyone has a soft spot for these things. Quote
rotor_dude Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 well done saving her and bringing back to life good to see keep up the good work 1 Quote
oldmatedan Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Very cool man Love the mirrors and roof rack,looks like a real tidy example you got yourself Quote
mk2marty Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Cheers mate, if i'm honest the mirrors don't really do a lot. It lives under a car cover, so they get bumped every time I take the cover off, so usually I get a close-up view of the ground. But yeah, i reckon they look better than the OEM ones haha. Quote
