Ok

I have come to the end of the mopar bit for a while, so now its rear axle body work and customizing the car.

I did say I would only try and put Mopar related content up only . Would any of you be interasted in other work done to the car

I don't mind if not, as on the cortina forum there's nothing worse than someone posting up either a daily car or one of those awful kit cars made from cortinas back in the 70s and 80s :pale:

I for one would like to see continued updates on the whole build, we all have different interests within this hobby and I think most if not all enjoy any project, take Will's "Jade" for example.

So keep them coming :thumbright:

Morning Moparee's

I hope your enjoying the summer and shows, you never know I may have a car to pop along and see some of you 8-)

I do keep checking in, :thumbright: For those who are interested a little update. :read2:

I now have all the running gear installed in the car , this is axle number 3 #-o 8-[

Ford 8.8 narrowed with Ford explorer ends welded on, as the explorer shafts are 31 spline and wouldn't fit in the tubes :-k

that's pretty, will you box the upper and lower arms for strength/stiffness? it's a common trick for gm a body cars to help with handling.

I have added a 4mm flat bar along the lower arms on the inside of both, I did think of boxing them, but didnt in the end.

As I wanted to see if all worked well first :thumbright: I do have a spare set of arms I could make up :thumbright:
