Getting there...

Still touching up bits and pieces.

Have the passenger side rear arch and some more work on right rear to go.

Working out which wheels to use. 13x7 dragways, 13x7 steels or 15x6 intercepters???

13x7 steels with a nice low profile tyre

Made some small progress, both rear guards, side and rear panel sections done. Unfortunately the front guards I got had a fair bit of bog so it looks like I will be saving for some fiberglass ones after all....

Fitted new front discs, reco calipers, bushes and sourced a hilux diff.

Still need a front panel section, anyone got one??? [x2x][x2x][x2x]






Going to need to sell some more things for parts. Anyone interested in my spare Garrett turbo setup. $1000 ono.



The corty is also getting there....

13x7s for sure! How did u remove front wing without taking door off? If your down my way Shaun, give me a buzz as i have some hilux diff stuff to show you.

that cast garret exh man looks the goods too

Door is just sat back on now with some spare bolts to keep the weather out. 37yr old doors pins are fun to remove aren't they..

Nigel, Got your email, I'll drop in for a look soon.

Shaun

love the cory mate got any more pics of it.

Tim, do you drive the white MK1 with the black 1/4 bumpers?

Sorry, I got rid of all my crossflow stuff years ago. The only thing I have is the 1100 little screamer still in the white escort. Might put some psi through it and see how long it lasts...lol


Since I am on this thread, some new parts arrived in the mail the other day.... Mexico front and drivers side footwell. Just have to get on to Geoff to buy some twink guards now and the body work is sorted.


Hopefully the corty will end up something like this.... minus the 351!

Tim, overseas in June? Wouldn't be working in America would you?

Lucas, here are some pics of the corty taken a while back. You'll have to excuse the dust. Pinto with psi and injection. Suspension up front is Billet Racing camber + caster adjustable. P16 calipers with slotted dba brakes.

Strut tops look the part but have you had them on the wheel aligner to see what you get in adjustment with the large hole strut top should be just about maximum without any other mods from the top. They are still a compromise as you alter the caster you also alter the camber at the same time. May be good for the road settings will tell you and steering response is always the true indication.

Cheers Tim.

Hey Timw,

Have yet to set them up on the wheel aligner, so far just with carefull measurement at home. I got them many years ago and at the time there wasn't much available for the MK2 corty. Still isn't now![}:)] Price was comparable with an adapted set of Kmacs and I got the strut brace with it. The strut brace alone seems to makes a big difference in the front end but the real test will be in the handling.


'They are still a compromise as you alter the caster you also alter the camber at the same time.'

I'm not sure what you mean by this? The tops swivel (2 piece) so you can adjust either independently. The compromise is in the 4 set positions however with the range of movement you can set it up near anywhere. Certainly more than enough for the weekend warrier it is being built for. Then again, if I wanted real handling, I'd weld up the rear doors or stick with my Escorts...
