rotor_dude Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 discussion thread ? awesome car lad, like your plans too, would love a mk1 wagon, seen one in uk where they have turned it into a 2dr, used 2dr doors and moved the b pillar etc, has a big single window from door to back, looks very cool wouldnt mind giving it a go with a mk1 or mk2 wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d.p.n.s Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Pretty sure while I was looking at engine conversions for my mk2 that you can get a 2.0 zetec to work with the coloum change. Just got to mix/match fly wheel/clutch set ups..... Don't know how long the box would last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Cheers ears. Old man has a spare zetec + rwd parts sitting in shed but I think he is planning to use in one of his austinS. I do have a 1600 711 block plus most parts to rebuild. Was just going to focus on getting current car on road for now as I always seem to get carried away. A Supercharged 1600 kent running thru column shift with itb and a megasquirt does float my boat though. gaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 From memory I actually finished the last Cortina as much as I had planned. Just sent rims off to be widened. Ordered new half sill also. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Is half a new sill a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 You dont think so? Whole sill? I told the guy making it only front 300mm rotten and he said just replace the front 500mm.... hrmm,, I'm going out with a 3m disc now to strip back the sill to make sure no hidden rust.

sr1600 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Good work Gaz, should be a good little project...when do you want me to pickup the last one you were working on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 You'll be lucky Mark. Waiting for bonus to come through and might get someone to start panel work on 2..... maybe. Undecided atm. I did consider changing Cortina stud pattern so I could put my Equips on the Cortina. Gaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxnz11 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I had 4 tyres fitted and balanced last month at Firestone Upper Hutt for $80, thought that wasn't too bad. Obviously new valve stems too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Cheers man, that seems to be the going. $20 a rim. Alltourqe is sorting me out for the fitting of two and I think I'm off to Palmy Sat morn to pickup and have fitted another 2. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
