Cheers Guys, Its been a while since I've updated so have missed your replys.... Milan, Im pretty sure it was about $275? Was from an Ebay shop. The latest progress is the centre feed fuel rail, now has had the mods completed and is finished ready for the fuel lines to be made. Still waiting on the head, but should be ported very soon:)

This is one tidy build. I tried PMing you for some technical info, but i have only just joined this forum and it won't let me.
I was after some advice regarding your suspension. Could you drop me a message when you get 5 mins? Cheers

Hey Rob,
What is it you wanted to know? Front or Rear?
Cheers,
Phil.

I'm interested in the front. I see you retained the original struts but had adapters made to allow for escy tcas.Do you have drawings for the adapters you could share? For me this is by far the best way I have seen for converting to rack and pinion. Thanks in advance, Rob

Huge fan of your Cortina for a while Phil, thank you for sharing and watch her grow
Its always hard to stand out from the crowd, and the minor details that add personality, top work,
What pedal box do you use, and cylinder sizes to pump those massive calipers, unboosted also yeah?
