1966 Mk1 cortina GT She Drives!

2 minute(s) of a 319 minute read

I have plugging away at the cortina but getting time after work has been tough, I got bored of rubbing stuff down so I painted the engine and dropped the short block in

I bought some british racing green enamel as its the closest to factory as I could get. I switched the cam from a standard GT to an A1 which is a bit lumpier but driveable.

With a shiny clean block I thought I'd sort the water pump as it looked shabby

The big day came - this is the closest the engine has been to the car since 2007!!!

the gearbox is empty but itll let me get the engine bed in and rewired etc

the cat helped by not sitting under the car for a change plus the internet is run by cats

I've put a stunt head on to protect the bottom end from stuff, It has been cleaned underneath btw

more to come......
