ford cortina mk2 1600gt 1970 full mot and tax restored for sale
Current customer rating: (394 votes ) based onWelcome to the sale of my Cortina Mk2 gt
I've spent over a year on the car rebuilding the gt hours and hours of work to make it showroom condition .
Right the car - well it was a rebuilt shell and no rust now anywhere all steel. It was painted in 2k and I have plenty of paint left over including the silver flash too .
It's not a ford colour I wanted a really deep blue (oxford ) very close to a ford blue used on the gt . and some basic mods only which are. /p>

The engine was good but I always strip them down to inspect. which I did and it was fitted with a few new valves all reground and then the bores of the head . were given a really good clean. I spent hours on that before it was refitted its not unleaded polished the ports too.
The engine was cleaned and reassembled with new seals etc and painted .
All working parts were painted. refitted and then once installed I converted to alternator .
All suspension was stripped and painted in 2k black and the brakes were rebuilt with. brand new callipers. new pipes. discs and wheel cylinders .
The exhaust is sound . so refitted that and I had the gearbox fully rebuilt to be safe and a brand new clutch installed and it was a n. o. s. English made one .
The suspension was fitted with new bushes and also the front suspension was stripped cleaned painted fitted with new bushes too .
Once the car was running everything is working oil water. amps. gen lights lights washers. lasher. horn. but the petrol gauge is temperamental. I even got the interior lighter working as its new. and the interior light too.
The interior carpets are new. new seats belts modern type not lap ones . The seats are all good except the drivers seat which is worn on the base part only and is repairable wont cost the earth to do .
The headlining was also removed but. as it was good. I just repainted it so its the original type .
All outer and inner door glass seals new but I re -used the outer door seals and the aperture seals . The only one that's missing is the drivers outer as it was damaged and I now know they are being made but I haven't got one as yet .
So we have a show quality Cortina mk2 gt which looks stunning . /p>
Please see the ink below its photobucket with loads of pictures from start to finish
I have with the car the original jack and brace that's not been restored but will need cleaning up
the photos I can put onto a disc for the history file unfortunately I don't have much I have the v5 in my name for nearly two years now .
Im sure I have forgotten many things when I remember I will add details in the listing . the numbers plates are new. new front lights. the chromes good and straight . the grill was masked and painted just like it should be in satin black one of the light bezels is not perfect but straight . the floor before paint was painted in red oxide then stone chip and layers of blue as is inside the boot and engine bay .
all the bolts on the car are mostly new as is the engine ones which have a engine dress kit which hold the gearbox to the engine .
another few details as I remember the mirrors are from the usa I saw them and really liked the retro design as they are replica 1950/1960s . also the washer bottle fitted to the cortina mk2 are hard to find new and are a little small so ive got from the usa with the FORD motif on it from a mustang 1960s its a nice large bag and ive made a electric pump operate that instead of the pressure pump original fitted which is still in the car as it works the wipers too. to keep the interior looking as original as possible .
the car is now mot and taxed for a year .
only a minor issue due to age I never fully rebuilt the axle its got new bearings in the wheels and new seals oil. but the axle has a slight wine and I meen slight on drive only it has actually improved since using it . but in all the cars over 40 years old so does have some wear in the original parts like the drivers seat edge but all easy to repair .
please come and view and you will appreciate it more .
for anyone who knows to have had this car restored by a professional like myself it would of cost you in the excess of 20 grand to have it done .
if I accept the bid I would require 500 pounds either paypal or bank transfer to hold the car and for a piece of mind . im happy to arrange delivery of my Cortina please ask for a quote
