Winnie, the MK2 Esky
Hi All,
Gave my car a wash and polish on the weekend, so I thought I would post some pics.[:x)]
Picked it up a few years ago from an old couple up the road, original granny driver etc etc. Been using it as a daily driver ever since, with a bit of rolling-resto along the way. My girlfriend doesn't approve of the colour(baby-poo brown, hence the name)[xx(], or the amount of time spent down the back with it or the numerous other projects my father has(MK2 2dr cortina, Mk2 Esky panelvan, mk1 Capri 1600). Here are some of the specs as i think of them:
Engine:
-1600 with stock internals, was originally a 1300 but the old guy replaced it at some point
-32/26 Weber(still not confident with the jetting)
-Bestek electronic ignition(Best thing you could ever buy for a daily driver)
-2lt Cortina radiator
-Air Conditioning, with thermo-fan on the evaporator(pretty rare for a 1600, i think)
-65A alternator, with customer extractors to clear alternator
-Reco'd C3 auto with custom shift(I know!!...but its a daily city driver)
-Single piece prop shaft
-Rose-jointed strut brace
Suspension\Brakes:
-Kmac adjustable roller-tops(again, worth every penny)
-Kmac 24mm front bar and Kmac rear bar
-Pedders front shocks and springs, Monroe rear
-Fully poly-bushed front and rear with Nolethane
-Vented discs and matching calipers on the front
-9" drums on the rear
-Braided lines front and rear
-13x5.5 Hotwire mags
Body\Interior:
-SAAS seats on standard rails
-Custom VDO Vision 6 dial dash
-A\C to eyeball vents, with custom center vent(from a 71' dodge I think)
-Euro dash pocket and matching VDO clock
-Pioneer head unit, 6' splits front, 6x9's rear, 10' sub in the boot
-Steering wheel remote for stereo(again, money well spent)
-Bluetooth mobile carkit
-Custom shifter(standard one hits my knee, as i'm 6'2" tall)
-Window tint
-Cut down 1/4 bumpers(easier than I thought)
This little old lady has had a lot of work done to make her a reliable, comfortable city driver. But soon, oh yes, she will be re-tired and re-born into a weekend warrior [88]....much to my girlfriends dismay!!
Bugger!!...work won't let me up-load, will post pics at home later
