Again thanks for the help with my build guy's

For those that can bear to look at a Ford

A new paint job and maiden voyage all went well. 430 to wales and back with a nice 28mpg

I even got 2nd place best MK3 ,, must have been that engine
Really really love the car, had more fun last weekend than I did with the GXL in 2 years. Can park it where I like and the sound is FAB !
Pulls like a train with from 8 mph in 3rd and 30mph up hill in forth

looking good

my dad had one of them in racing green.... followed by estate versions of every one until the crusader (purple Mk3 white mk4 metalic blue mk 4 2 tone red a grey last edition crusader, run out model)

mum had mk2 in powder blue

I like a cortina

here is a song for you to play when drving

Thank you
From the start in the garage to the 30mph cruising then press of the loud pedal makes me smile ,, Its great!!

Ticks over at a choppy 650rpm, so much that the radio areal wobbles at the top at the lights

Looks really good, and 430 miles is a good test. Well done, you should be very proud of your achievement.

Thanks Matt ,, Strange thing is, its not very often I feel proud

I like what I do, but never want to be ,, full of my-self,, just like to proove myself ... to myself

I joined Rods and sods,, then left

Got questioned, and picket at,,, I wasn't confident or comfortable enough to stay on there.

As I had never done anything like this before, fkm keyboard worriers

nice one, that's a good road test there
what carb did you end up using and do you think it contributed to the good economy?

28MPG I did calculate around 25/6 due to the fact the engine has massive torque for such a light car, using the standard 2 barrel carb .

Don't get me wrong, I don't get 28mpg round town, but that probably due to me driving it like .I just got a new Raleigh chopper

Well the summer is going really well, Ive had more enjoyment with this Cortina in three months than 3 years with the last one.

I do have a few things to sort but loving the car . A little on road action footage about 6 mins of MOPAR
