Default My 67 Ford Cortina 1600E project

This how it looked when i got it












I have done loads of work to it now to get it on the road Like complete brake overhaul with rebuilt front calipers,new disks etc and aeroquip hoses and totaly new rear brakes also

I wanted to get these wheels but they dont fit

So went for these in 7"x13" with 185/60x13" Yokos

Heres how they look on the car



I will keep you posted on more stuff soon

sweet. but wont u have to run some new managment for that. where carbs u can just get them set up. TBs are better IMO just will cost alot more to do wont it? tho R1, gsxr TBs are going pretty cheap now ..

good luck with it.

u have any shots of the engine bay how it is now?

Well when i said throttle Bodies they are really carbs
CLICKY
But to fit i just have to fabricate a new inlet manifold and throttle linkage then rejet them to suit the engine
I will take some pics of the engine bay in a bit for you
