Granny's mk2 cortina turbo.

a few of they guys in SA have herd me speak of a mates mk2 cortina turbo...
well heres a few pics of it... im trying to get his arse into gear for next weekends dyno day but as u can see by the cobwebs and spiders hes lost a bit of interest as of late.. even when it would probably take one solid day to finish it.
he says he will put some effort in this weekend so let's hope he gets somewhere... anyway heres some pics i took 2nite sorry bout the quality but it was dark and fairly tight where the car is parked...Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

this car has made 160kw at the wheels with the gas carbi playing up on its 1st trip to the dyno.. he expects to make more once it is properly developed.

If he's lost interest in it, there's a willing candidate sitting right here that'll take it off his hands! haha

I have always been an Esky fan, but that is one fine Corty.
Looks great inside and out.

Wasn't it out the front of Ben's house for a while?
Granny had it there with no car cover on it....

Yeah Rhys, where did you see it?

well where stretching a really badly alchohol affected memory here but it was in the general woodcroftish area? kinda on the way to Rhys' maybe?

about a year or so ago, saw bright green paint and those exact rims showing along the bottem of the cover?...

cheers

Rhys I know what your talking about. That car lived just off Odessa Drv in Woodcroft for a while, didn't see it alot though. But I was told it was a turbo'd 1600 as my mates girlfriend lived across the road, he also had a Mk1 Escort Im pretty sure.

Not sure how this lines up with Sundowners mates car? if it sposed to be the same or a very similar one.

Either way I look forward to seeing this one in pics above in real life.
