No crack here... its what they're called. As for the 99% of people idea, anyone with an idea of what the proper name for parts are on a car would agree with me.

Anyway, like has been said before :wgaf:

I have recently purchased a MkII Cortina, and I have a plan of what I would ultimately like to do to it, if the budget allows.

I'd love to get rid of the 4 banger, and fit a 289 into it, with a 4 speed box and 9" diff and 4 wheel discs.
I plan to paint it slightly off-white, with deep red interior, I saw this combo on a MkII in my area, and fell in love with it. It is currently a light/pale blue.
Wheels, I'm thinking some GT 12 Slotters, or maybe some American Racing "Reversed Smoothies"
A big fuel cell in the boot, along with the battery and MSD Ignition Amplifier.
Sound System, nothing to flash, I'm not one of those guys who fills the boot and half the car with speakers and subs and amps. Just a CD Player, with some decent speakers will do me.

Basically I wann keep it as original as possible with a few cool custom mods for a bit of a personal touch.

good to see some people want to put v8s in cortinas still.good luck with it

4DTINA · 11-02-2005, 20:52

Yeah, I am a BIG V8 fanatic, and I reckon that the coolest Cortinas are the MkII's, so what better combination could there be than a V8 Powered MkII??
