Come on Phil! More pictures, more pictures :) I seem to find myself almost daily logging on to see whether there are any updates with the Corty. This is one classic Ford that I'm sure everyone on this forum would love to have parked in their garage! It is definitely a credit to you! I'm sure many would agree that it was a wicked car before this build and now (as you continue to push the boundaries and develop this car to another level) it is becoming a truly awesome machine. Top Stuff. Now get back to it!

Hi Matt,

Progress is still underway[:p] Just not much in the way of photo opportunities

I have almost finished under the dash, braided lines are in for the brake fluid resevoirs, just need to make the new rear brake line and thats done. The electric steer is wired for full auto operation. The vent box is almost finished, Im just waiting on a ceramic 12v heater which arrives on Monday, that then gets grafted into the vent box and it can all be assembled for the last time

Once thats done I will start trimming the kick panels and front parcel shelf area.

With any luck all the instrumentation will be assembled for the last time tomorrow[:p] I should be able to get a few pics then[;^)]

Not much visual progress to report but the dash and brake lines are almost finished

this whole build you have done, all the detail.. and all these pics as proof..

i can only imagine how much this thing will be worth one day..

love that dash btw, looks amazing

Thanks Sterling, its many years of hard work and lots of mistakes that get you there in the end

Phil,
seriouslsy.. this is crazy!! this has to be the best cortina in the world!!! keep the pics coming!

all it needs now is airbags and climate control [:x)]

Been sitting silently in awe Phil. Even once I'd picked up my dropped jaw I still couldn't find the words. You're doing a fantastic job - well done mate.

I don't know about best in the world Ty[:o)] Thanks for the encouragement though guys, Im glad you guys enjoy the progress pics


Im nearly ready to start some of the trim work under the front dash area once I finish the heater box off this weekend. I have sourced 2 ceramic heaters with mini electric heater cores measuring 75mm x 75mm each. They crank out 110 deg c heat so that should sufficiently heat the old girl!! I will remove the heater internals and mount them into the factory vent box...that should keep things neat and tidy while providing some more creature comforts[;^)]

Here are some pics of the heater and the internals.

Did you buy the heater from Rocket industries Phil?

What an interesting idea, keen to see how it turns out Phil.
