Just gauging some interest and seeing what this may be worth, having moved house and in the process of moving again and being mortgaged up to my eyeballs I've come to the sad realization that I wont be able to afford to put my Tina back on the road.
Spec is 1979 Ford Cortina Mk4
Painted in Toyota Red with contrasting black wrapped bonnet and bootliid and original vinal roof
Stage 3 2.1 unleaded Pinto engine from Burton Power with twin 45 webbers Ashley exhaust manifold and system Electronic ignition and rev limiter Performance non vacuum distributor Oil cooler system with catch tank 5 speed gearbox with quickshift Gaz adjustable shocks all round Lowered 2" all round Polybushes used all round 2.8 capri calipers and discs up front performance pads and shoes recaro front seats rear ducktail rubber spoiler 15x7 minilites finished in gunmetal
She's been laid up for about 3 years since I moved and when I fired her up last summer the engine dropped a core plug, she just needs a little TLC and recommissioning but all the bits are there for someone with time and a few hours to put her back to roadworthyness. Its a real weapon this thing and I'm gutted to have to even consider getting rid
Ideally for ease i'd like to sell her as a whole and not remove the engine but i'd consider removing that if the right offer came my way
So.. what doy ou think ballpark it'd be worth?
Mike

Finally got some kind of mojo back to get my Mk4 Cortina roadworthy again (must be the sunshine!)
Anyway it's been mothballed for about 3 years turns over fine but needs to be re-fired and carbs setting up. Its a bored out 2.1 with agressive cam twin 45 webbers etc.. as I didnt build it I'm not sure what oils been used etc so asking advice on what people recommend and run theirs on?
i'll be doing a mini service before it's fired up usual plugs, filters etc, but it does also need a full set of exhaust rubbers fitting as the others are shot and exhaust is hanging down anyone know if any other model exhaust rubbers fit on or the best place to obtain a set of Mk4 Cortina rubbers?
And lastley if anyone is a dab hand with setting up twin 45 webbers can you give me some advice?
Thanks all
Mike

my old man used to race at henham raceway essex for years, can remember the team was black and white stripes and I think called the savages, anyone remember anything about the raceway or team, another team I think was called the wild bunch. Henham was re-opened a couple of years ago and run's bangers and stocks again under the new name of Stansted Raceway. I have some old pictures I should dig out from Arena Essex and Mildenhall late 90's early 2000's and get them scanned on

Really desperate to find a new cat for my E36 328i Coupe the inners of mine have broken up and are rattling around like nails in a tin!
Have tried eBay and breakers with no luck, even tried getting a new system which was curse word poor fitting so that's gone back.
I am in Essex so can collect or am happy to pay postage if you have one!
If anyone can help please let me know via PM or give me a text or call 07874894301
Cheers
Mike

Reluctant sale of my E36 328i Coupe. 1998 on an R plate Hellrot Red paintwork in excellent condition no rust! M sport front and rear bumpers New set of fog lights and bulbs recently fitted Angel Eyes, LED number plate bulbs and up rated Osram Night Breaker headlight bulbs Half leather interior Bluetooth ready Kenwood head unit with iPod and USB connections M sport side mouldings 125k Miles and runs extremely well, very quiet on idle and always starts first time 2 green lights left until service time 4 new Falkens all round have done under 1000 miles on them Brand new set of tailored interior floor mats MOT until April Taxed until June M3 electric mirrors M Sport steering wheel Clean and tidy inside and out, washed and waxed and hoovered weekly Service history wise the previous owner didn’t provide it but was a technician at Synter Harold Wood, I do however have all the previous MOT certificates and all invoices for everything I have brought or had fitted to the car. Since I have had it I have spent a fair bit on getting the car to a satisfactory standard and it’s been cared and looked after however it does have a couple bad points which I’ll be honest about. The airbag light is on and requires a passenger’s side seat tensioner (diagnosed by PMW Chelmsford) and also there is a rattle from underneath which has been diagnosed as the catalytic converter and if I’m being picky the lacquer has peeled slightly on one of the wing mirrors and occasionally it does list a brake light fault which I have the replacement push leaver that goes under the pedal and will be included with the sale, I haven’t fitted it as the fault is rarely shown up on the OBC. Apart from that its a great car and i’ll be sad to see it go, I am based in Brentwood/Maldon Essex should anyone wish to come and have a look My mobile is 07874894301 I am looking for £2,000 or offers close to this. Or possible swaps with something boring and Diesel or cheap Mike

Selling only due to needing the driveway space as I have just brought another new car.
I have had this around a year and a half and it's been well looked after by myself cleaned weekly and waxed monthly also all servicing has been done well before the allotted intervals with all invoices and garage receipts to prove.
Both sets of keys present and the central locking works perfectly
The car comes with a folder full of service history and invoices for new parts purchased by myself over the course of ownership.
Bodywork is in good shape but rear arches have suffered from the dreaded rust issue that the Nissan Almera model seems common to drivers side has blistering on the outer paintwork and passengers side has around a 5p blob sized dot of surface rust. Apart from this the bodywork has the usual marks for a car of this age but nothing major
Interior is in excellent condition and is cleaned weekly. No rips, burns or chunks out of the seats. No worn bolsters or missing trim parts. Still has original leather steering wheel, gear knob and gator all in great condition.
Engine and Mechanical areas are all in good shape aswell. I have replaced a good few things on the car since owning it including the following,
new rear shock absorbers new rear dust boots new front brake pads and discs new rear brake pads and discs new rear calipers both sides 4 new Toyo Proxy tyres new Apex lowering springs -35mm new pollen filter air con re-gassed 2 full services Blitz dome air filter new rocker cover alloys refurbished in gloss black
In general its a great punchy little car which is fairly cheap on insurance not too bad on fuel and you really don't see many about these days. And I believe in too good of shape to break it for bits.
It will come with tax until the end of December and MOT until next April
It could do with having the rust on the rear seen to but as I have another 2 cars this one has to go and I really cannot justify spending any more on the car.
It's advertised to sell at what I believe is a fair price but will accept sensible offers near the asking price. I also have a number of JDM parts and other accessories for sale separately which were fitted to the car.
Pictures will be uploaded later this evening
I can be reached via 07874894301 or michaelsinclair77@hotmail.co.uk
Car is based in the Essex area (Maldon near Chelmsford)
£950 ONO
