Looks like you could spend 10 times the purchase price fixing the bugger.

I am sure there is a Cortina garaged for the last ten years out there somewhere.

P.S. How do you insert a hyperlink?

Seems the hyperlink problem sorted itself.

I think one of these would be very do-able, the front struts bolt on and it would not be rocket science to make up an upright to fit an upper wishbone, rear end is vaguely sierraesque, strong engine, very small gearbox, and a small but very thick rad.

I found one local to me when looking for a donor, belonges to a neighbour who as thinking of getting it road worth again.
He had been thinking this for 15 years and will probebly go on thinking it for another 15. I gave up and left him to it.

shes worth it all.

by the way, if anyone is thinking of buying the 4x4, remember the LSD has gone. no point lashing a fellow builder.

Is it a GLS or a XR btw?!


Wadders - 26/2/05 at 12:07 AM

it is a GLS, the XR4 bit slipped in! is this significant enough to warrant changing the description? cheers.
