1966 Mk1 cortina GT She Drives!

3 minute(s) of a 319 minute read

A quick update - basically she is still away on holiday but on the plus side I haven't had any expensive phone calls!

In the meantime I am looking into what changes I need to make to go fuel injection but I need a few questions answering;

Has anyone used megasquirt? an opinions and advice would be great and has anyone built their own?

Would a pump and swirl pot be ok or do I need to baffle etc the fuel tank?

Any tips for making a bike throttle body inlet manifold?

Its just a little update but shes still at the bodyshop as they haven't had anyone to work on her but its ok I did take a few snaps after we'd talked over what the plan was

She's made a friend though!

I went to see how the car was getting on and it is nearly done with a few pieces to finish before I can have her back!

the drivers floor has been sorted after I made a mess of it and looks like its been there the whole time

the inner wing has been plated and is looking the way I wanted it to minus the surface rust mind!

there has a been a problem with the NS jacking point and the front chassis leg where the repair had been done as it had been bodged in the past which was to be replaced but the repair was done in a way that it has let water and other stuff in so its rusted from the inside out

not the best pic by the way

old vs new

the old jacking point

the other major problem has been that the shape of the spare wheel well panel doesn't quite fit as well as it should leaving a big ish hole where water and other stuff from the road could enter the car so the panel will need to be modified to suit the car better but it should'nt be an issue
