1979 FORD CORTINA

MK4 cortina, fitted with 2.0 silver top zetec engine, canems engine management, Dan st bike carb conversion, Ashley manifold with custom built powerflow exhaust, alloy radiator, Retroford water rail and pinto clutch conversion

Front has RS2000 discs with Granada 2.8 calipers, lowering springs fitted but still rides smooth,

Front seats are reupholstered scheel seats with matching rears, all woodwork has been hydrodipped, rear seats belts fitted, britax roof replaced about 5 years ago

Body work solid, has had a resto about 12 years ago but few bits need redoing, , has had a blow over paint job which isnt the best but is presentable for an everyday car , it was my intention to get it redone in a year or 2 but I am struggling to find time to get things done, also a lot of the people who I used have retired or quit the motor trade and I have struggled to find people I trust

All the door and windscreen seals are new as well, as a full nos lock set

Very rare lokari front wheel arch liners fitted

Comes with full history from new, originally belonged to Westland helicopters, the driver then purchased it for himself in 1981 it was then passed on to his wife who used it up till approx 2006

Could easily be converted back to standard, the original engine gave up the ghost hence why it was fitted with this for a bit of fun

Minus points

Some vibrations under heavy breaking, suspect warped discs

Couple of bits underneath need a wire brush and waxoyl but not rotten

Small bit of welding in boot
