I have spent literally 5 solid minutes crying laughing over that trike thing.

 

Is that a spoiler (ironic!!!) In one of the pics?

 

I want to admire the guy but how can you get that far with your design* and construction and then stand back and go "actually, its a bit rubbish. Let's put it on eBay"?!?

 

 

Made my day.

This is just up the road from me and would represent far too much of a temptation if it wasn't going to be way out of my price range, its still in my watch list just in case .......

Didn't one if these sell at Beaulieu auto jumble for £9 k ?

That Hustler thing would be GR99.9 for dogging - less GR8 in summer

Come on. That's shit.

This is, is it not, the ebay "TAT" thread?  I rest my case.

 

I was going to say this looks like it was stored down that salt mine full of Mavericks but it's a Cortina so this was probably the result of it being stored in a dry heated garage for the last 10 years. I imagine the 2.0 pinto and that slush box is a pretty woeful combination.

I had a 2.0 auto mk5 from 1991 to 93 and it remains one of my favourite cars of EVAH.  So much so that were I to buy another Cortina now (unlikely, given how they've run away ahead of my budget...) I wouldn't consider a DIY gearbox.

 

I have a terrible foreboding about tins of Dulux when I consider the future of this beauty...

 

One of my dream cars. 100,000 SEK -just over 8000 quid in proper money

Tested to 2017. Everything works and it drives fine...just a bit scruffy looking. Buy and drive!

Mine too, oh boy I would!  But I can't, so I won't.  :(

I'd love to have a go fixing that Cortina auto.

It's the exact spec I want, mk4, 2.0 and automatic. Colours good too.

 

I've driven a mk2 Capri 2.0 auto and it was fine. Obviously not as quick as the manual but much nicer to drive, like all autos are. I really don't see all the hype about manual gearboxes they're shit!
