Has anyone seen this 64 Cortina around, it has a 4AGE motor, 5-speed and escort running gear. It has been engineered but needs blue slipping for rego. I was planning a full restoration/custom but I'm temped to put it on the road and have some fun first.

I'm just starting to look for a few parts, does anyone know of a place to get sills, lights, bumpers etc for a good price?

Wow, looks like a really nice project.
 
That's why I stay off ebay, that sort of thing could get me divorced.

The engine sounds really good and it drives so that's a bonus. The dyno chart say just over 110hp which is no where near enough for me so my attention will be on that as much as the body

Good score, keep the posts coming....
 I've got fond memories of a pre airflow mk1 that I still regret selling and am looking for to this day.......

Well, I have made a start on my project. I have made a rotisserie so I can turn the car over and have started stripping the car. I must say I'm really pleased with what I've found so far, there is hardly any rust in the car. next job is to pull the motor and box out.
Does anyone know what size wheels/tyres will fit under the MK1 without too much dramas. mine is a bit lower than stock?
