Our 1974 Ford Cortina has been locked away largely untouched since 2007. A couple of years ago you’ll recall us getting to running to move it whilst getting the old Reliant Regal loaded up for transport. I said then that i would get the Cortina back on the road. Last minute plans to go to santa pod ford show left me 3 weekends to fix the car.
We did the callipers, brake hoses, pads and rebuilt the master cylinder.
The carburettor was leaking so it got rebuilt.
The timing belt was 20 years old! We replaced it along with the tensioner.
And finally wrapped it up with a new set of tyres.
This was the cars first venture out. Just days before Santa Pod.
