been pretty quite here lately so i thought id spice it up a tad.what cortina have you got and what mods you done or are planing to do?o.k ill start mines a 78 te worked 250xflow extractors and a 3inch exhaust solid cam not sure of specs? but has a very lumpy idle when it wants to idle.roller rockers redline manifold with a 600 holley.im unsure what else has been done to the motor as i bought it as is.it has a c4 shift kitted with a b-m quicksilver shifter and hi stall converter.borg warner diff with either 3.7 or 3.9 diff gears(bloody things reving at 3000 at 70 clicks)its jet black with a g.t wind back sunroof and has a custom trimed interior.the boot is boxed out.lowered on pedders springs with 17inch momo extremes...my plans for it are im pulling this motor out and im either going to rebuild it for a efi turbo setup or get a xf efi motor to start with im not sure yet??im hoping for 300kw at the wheels.and change wheels momo extremes have to be the ugliest wheels ive ever seen.http://www.fordgallery.com/data/500/17332pic_1-med.jpg http://www.fordgallery.com/data/500/...es0002-med.jpg

dicast- If you dont mind me askin this, but did you buy that cortina from someone in Parramatta?
only reason im asking is becoz i saw it in the trading post a while back and look like a neat example, same wheels as those.

Hey dicast,

Are you ready for this.......

My 1975 TD XLE is currently in panel shop getting her make up done...Ford Hot Chilli Red with Black "GT Style" stripe on bonnet & boot, Black vinyl roof with black louvres on back windscreen along with "GT style" rear spoiler and low street scoop. All the chrome work has either been polished or re-done.
Interior will be next to get done but already have a set of AutoTechnica "Monza" seats the dash is being completely re-furbished along with new carpet etc.
The 302 Windsor is currently being re-built and bored to 30thou over, topped with an Edelbrock "Torker" manifold, 670 Holley "Street Avenger" Carby, Ford Racing Polished Alloy Rocker covers, 14" Airforce1 Air filter (Chrome), haven't decided on the cam yet, hunting a bargain for a V8 5 speed gearbox but may go with a Supra 5 speed (waiting to see how things pan out). High end 200 9" Diff will be going in all drinking from a 100ltr drop tank supplied by a Holley Blue fuel pump. The Tyres are BFG and wrapped around original Aunger "Hustler" Mags that have been refurbished.

Ok so that's it and to think I'll be trying to have all this ready for Christmas due to a car show here in WA in Feb.

Cheers TD_2_NV (aka Tim)

hello all, where do i start? i got a few cortinas;

1) 76 TD sedan with a ED XR6 4.0L engine, custom extractors, electric water pump, and a pod filter but otherwise stock. T5 5 speed manual and a 3.00:1 9 inch. boot mounted battery. it's dumped 120mm on pedders springs and shocks, 16X7 Boyd Coddington billets. Front brakes are xw discs, rears are xf discs. the interior and body are otherwise neat but standard. this is only a prototype just to see if i could do it. my plans for this one are to soon pull it apart and start again on cortina #3.

2) 75 TD wagon, clapped out unleaded xf engine with a c4. i've got angine on the stand ready to go in as soon as i finish off building the manifold to suit a T3/T4 hybrid turbo. it's gonna run straight lpg and this is all so i can teach myself the extremes of turbocharging before i embark on the final mission.

3) 72 MkIII GT 2door with a 3.0L GT V6 engine, C4 and have no idea what the diff is. looks standard and looks like it's supposed to be there but looks nothing like a cortina diff. it's in pretty average condition with cancer in several places. i've built a rotissierie for it and should be mounting it up there shortly. this is the big one, the one that the missus would kill me(literally) if she knew how much i'm gonna spend. once i taught myself turbos i'm gonna stick the tickford engine in with turbo. unsure yet on g'box but will maintain the 9 inch. it's gonna have heaps of little mods; van pedal box to get the booster/master cylinder under the dash. custom firewall, custom tunnel, custom dash, rear buckets, full length centre console, electric panel sunroof, door handles removed, mini tubs, jukebox, centre mounted drop tank, and a heap of more stuff which isnt springing to mind right now. i'm real big on doing everything myself. i did a sewing course so i can make my own custom door trims. this semester i'm doing a panelbeating course one night a week and spraypainting another night a week. and to finish up my long drawn out speech i hope to have it finished by about this time next year.

hey TD_2_NV, what car show is happening in feb?
