Sod's 1964 Cortina Cosworth

[Sod]

Hi All,

 

Have been a member of the forums for a while but haven't contributed a lot. Went along to the monthly meet in Ellerslie last week for the first time and met the Escort brigade in the pub. Someone suggested I should post to introduce myself and my car so here goes.

 

I bought a 1064 Mk1 Cortina GT in 2011 which looked like this at the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turned out the engine needed a bit of work so I decided to go for a YB engine.

 

It has taken a lot longer than I had hoped but the car is now not far from being complete. Fingers crossed it may be on the road by the October monthly meet.

 

Will post some more pics when I work out how to resize them...

 

Cheers

Nick

Has been a while since I posted the original pics - car is now on the road after a long and frustrating certification process but am loving it.

 

Here are a few progress pics along the way.

I have been asked for pictures of the build of my car so decided to dust off this thread and update it.

The day I picked the car up from Rocket - can't thank them enough for the quality of their work!
