Future 300+rwkw mk2 cortina
Well i bought this the other day! I have been after a 2 door now for a few years. All the ones i have seen have either been way over priced or to far gone as far as rust goes for my liking.
I paid $1300 for this car with some of the work already done. I will rub most of it back to see how well it has been done but i was told it is all steel. I took the old fridgemagnet with me too and it stuck EVERYWHERE!
I could also see on the back of the Panels where it had been welded ....... so i was pretty happy
There was too much repaired either. Just a little bit on the passengers side front quater.
This thing is in very good nick and the under side looks better than my 4 door ! which is super good.
This car will be a full on build. It will have major chassis work ,cage and the same rear end setup (6 link) as my 4 door.
Ill prob go with a carbon bonnet and boot too.
The car is going to be black and will use the same gold supelites i have now. Infact most of the good stuff ....brakes /suspension motor exhausts etc will be transfered to the 2 door. I am by NO MEANS about to ruin my 4 door to supply the new car ..... let this be known but will use alot of the suff from it and replace what is taken with some off my old stuff i have laying about. ( note most people would kill to have some of the parts i have spare )
The only down side to this car is there is a few minor dents in the roof .... again nothing too bad ( my 4 door was worse when i bought that ) the rear boot seal channel is rusted out and will need to be replaced ( you can see it in the pics)
And lastly the drivers side rear well in the boot is rusted. That is pretty std for a cortina and straight forward for me to cut out and weld a new one in. The spare wheel well is suprisingly perfect ! which is a bonus.
The hardest thing to fix will prob be the boot seal channel but still i dont think it is major surgery. Best bit is all the quaters are spot on and wont require any work which i would consider a bit of a job. I mean its not so hard to cut the rust out of a quater Panel but to weld a new section in without warping the Panel can be tricky..... so im lucky i dont have to do that.
You can see some of the rust here.....
It is hard to see from this pic but the shot of the boot seal channel is prob the worst of the rust in the car. I should beable to cut this and weld in a new section fairly easy.
The car is a 67 model 220 and is actually compete. It comes with the motor / gearbox a 1300cc non crossflow.
It has all the door trims ,wipers, seats etc.
I will be selling the engine and gearbox along with other various bits. Ill put some of the stuff in the classifides section but if anyone needs stuff send us a pm and ill let you know if i have it spare.
I am in SA but will be happy to post any thing over if it is needed.
