Hey,
I've gone looked at several cars and picked a 77 TE Cortina! I haven't been able to pick it up yet since all the floods that has been happening. Here is just some photos off car sales.   Can't wait to get it, and start fixing her up a little |

Yeah, I quite like it.. a bit of rust to get off the roof, the drivers side gutter is all rusted.. I don't know how bad because there is a vinyl roof on it. its a S Pack GHIA I believe with a 250 Cross Flow. but the idea is to put a 302 or 351 into it.. but not sure.. It's an auto atm but thinking about putting a manual in it...

That S pack decal is from an XF Falcon.....and if it is a GHIA, it will have chrome interior door & window handles......and a Tacho dash too......possibly velour interior.

Nice old corty! Now you need a 5.0 and 4spd auto out of an e-series, and it will go like stink, but still be economical, and handle really well. Enjoy!

At some stage some one put a sound system in it... has a 5 stacker cd player in the boot.
Yeah it's a speaker in the door card.... so the S Pack Decal is def not orig? Also it's going to be either a 302 or 351....... it has a 250 in it so no point putting a 289 in it... |

Ashcook has a nice 351 clevo for sale
 but I doubt you can register a corty with a cleveland, I think a 302 (ie:- short deck) windsor is the biggest you can legally fit. Or a 347! (dont tell them)

There are a few 351 Cortina's getting around QLD.. but dont know about the new rules... so see what happens when I get to it....
Might play around with the 250 for now... Any threads on here with decent 250 Builds? |

I would be ripping that vinyl roof off right away- my first car was a 79 Ghia with vinyl roof-much crud and rust was under it when we lifted it.

Yeah I will be ripping it off.. it has rust down the drivers side all along the gutter... but I'll be putting a new one on.. i like the look of the vinyl roofs... just will be fixing the rust and prepping it properly and then putting it back on... it will look nice!
