Russell's Mk1 Cortina


Recommended Posts

I suggested to the wife in a moment of sleep deprived weakness we needed something with 4 doors for weekend roadtrips with our newborn Cooper . . . And with a little bit of encouragment from Ben Adams "I dont think you'll regret buying it, But you probably will regret not getting it" . . . . nek minute

Such adventures . . . Baby life means I have plenty of spare internet / research time, and I enjoy seeing what other people are up too so thought I should return the favor 

Took Cooper to his first Motorsport event, the Mt Vic Hill Climb

Made a handbrake bias strap from a thick piece of leather, see how long that lasts

Tried to replace gearbox mount but not quite the correct one, bugger

Replaced the missing 3/8unc x1" gearbox bolt and that eliminated the knocking sound . . . but then a tab feel to the ground that I have not yet worked out its origin.
