After 6 or 700 miles on the Volkswagen I decided to move to a more substantial chassis that can handle more batteries for longer range and be my only car! The VW has been good to me and convertibles have their addictiveness, but it is now gone, sold the chassis for 400 less than I paid for the car a year ago (also sold the motor when I first got it)
Anyway on to Ford, but wait... is it a Ford? Well yes made in England as almost all Mk1 Cortina's were, but it has our normal left hand driver side. pics please? well here is something...
 |
| parked in my garage, 13" wheels, ya know, british style. |
 |
| V8 small block 302 roller motor that has to come OUT and be sold off |
 |
| shiny from the showroom of the dealership in Chicago (whom I don't like much) but anyway, it WAS clean then. they used bad shipping with no cover and now it is dirty :( |
This car has a 80's Mustang GT rear end (shortened) with T-5 transmission and V8 302 roller motor. Only the motor will need to be tossed out, it is super powerful but wasn't really well taken care of so I may just part it out so someone doesn't end up with an unknown situation.
So today I am removing the old gas tank which is a plastic racing style tank (this car was probably on the track at some point in the last 15 years) AND hopefully I can remove the V8 with my engine hoist. Since there was no A/C no P/S no Fuel Injection no Computer system of any kind, and no heater system, we are looking at a countable number of bolts to get this thing removed, I am hopeful!
