TE Cortina, cast iron cross flow and 4 spd. 4 spoke dragway 13X7's hanging out the guards, and a nasty audio set up, complete with 6x9's in the front doors. Replaced clutch and diff and rebuilt motor within first 6 months. Surprised I still own it, albeit in a sad state after some wild paddock bashing of late. Cousin drifted into a strainer post, has broken most rear linkages and diff is about gone. Must whip engine and box out before it too is destroyed. A wild ride for a 17 year old. Would love to get a new body and build up another TE, perhaps with Webers, or a blow-through turbo....but for now will probably have the engine on a stand for a million years....too many projects
