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

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

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
I do keep checking in,
For those who are interested a little update.
I now have all the running gear installed in the car , this is axle number 3
Ford 8.8 narrowed with Ford explorer ends welded on, as the explorer shafts are 31 spline and wouldn't fit in the tubes

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.

Hiya Neil
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
I do have a spare set of arms I could make up
