Do a part 2, 30 years is a really long time for an engine to stand idle, throw a fresh starter on and let's see if Marky can get this going, I think it's a real challenge but I'm up to see this run
It wouldn't be a Ford of this era without the struts sticking through the tops! But yes, please do a part two on this - let it have one last go at being a car before it finally dies.
Yes James it's worth buying a starter just to see the old girl cough back into life again and the Smile on Marcus face . You never know maybe he bust a few of his legendary Dance move's to Celebrate 🤣😂💪🏻
Do it boys! 👍 My dad's second car was that same colour and year. It'd be great to hear it run. Funnily enough it was condemned when the front wheels stayed on ground when it was lifted up. Around 1973 I think. I'm an old bastard😂
Same colour and year of my Cortina. I bought it off my foreman for £30 when I was an engineering apprentice. It was already 12 years old when I bought it in ‘78. I hadn’t even taken my driving test so I learnt to drive in it. It was pretty knackered but it was mine😊
Part 2👍👍try an impact gun through the front panel onto the crank pulley and see if that works then you have proven you didn’t have to replace anything 👍👍
One of my all time fav Cars all the Cortina's from the MK1 to the MK5's.... Great to see that Bad boy fire up you can see in his face it will fire its a classic FORD!! Good-Luck Marky go for it :)
Yes James we need a part 2 it would be great to see the old dog run again.please can u give my 10 year old son jayden ridgeway a shout out he watches you guys every day even watches some of your videos twice over he loves it cheers keep the videos coming james
You probably have a Lucas starter on your shelves to fit that Cortina! It's a straight forward Lucas ,4 inch two bolt motor fitted to many British cars up to the 80s
Definitely, put a good starter motor on. And finally remove all the useful parts....engine, gearbox. rear axle, steering column, etc etc We had one as the family car in 1965 till 1971...in Belgium....Was a great car. Took us on vacation in France and Switzerland. I still remember the red Skai upholstery. My dad was fond of that little car. Traded for a new Audi 100 LS . Oh yeah, I remember the starter motor didn't have a solenoid, it was a kind of starterpinion that was shot out by inertia 🙂 and they used to get worn out pretty fast... I kept that old part for a while in my box with car stuff. I was 10 ~ 12 y old back then
most likely the points are welded together. The diaphragm in the fuel pump will have disintegrated use alternate fuel supply the oilways will be clogged change the oil replace the cartridge type oil filter clean jets in carb replace plugs + leads redX into cylinders then go for it. got one of these sitting my garage but its in a lot better condition love it to bits
Great video "Air Flow" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 These used A/F or Whitworth, so it should be 11/16 spanner for the crank bolt. But just shows how the older technology isn't seized after all these years
Back in 1980 had a 1965 MK1 that had one side top plate starting to split the metal. And when bounced up and down you could see the split get larger sadly that ended it's days
Ye crack on with it……. Had a 65 cortina 1200 drove it to Austria an back 4up…….. only burnt a valve 2 months later…. Great car😎👍🏼….. is it a 1500? Or 1200.
It just needs a quick wash, it'll come out looking lovely, put a starter in , put it on the forecourt and sell it as " one careful owner" . All the best
The starters in that vintage cortina were inertia type. The motor needs to turn to spin out the gear that engages on the engine flywheel. If it’s been static for decades the starter is unlikely to be serviceable. You might get lucky if you can turn the starter gear once you have removed it from the engine. The brushes in the starter are probably very worn out and the commutator they come into contact with. Has the starter got a turn shaft at the back of it ?. They used to have them so you could use a spanner on it if ever it froze up when engaged with the flywheel.
"We're going to split this into 2 parts " ......l think it's more or less done that without your help ! 😆😆😆 True story . A workmate took his 105 E out for a drive one night and completely forgot about the second hump back bridge on the Teigngrace Road .... his front turrets did exactly this and it was only the bonnet miraculously staying shut that enabled him to limp into work the next morning . How or where have you found these gems ? Buried in the yard ? They all have little bits and pieces that are worth their weight in ģold . Particularly that 1600E . Cortina mk1 wings are a grand a piece nos .

Definitely a part 2 please. I really want to hear that unique Cortina sound!
Why? Even if it ran it is still a steaming pile of dog poop. This car has no future.
It wouldn't be a Ford of this era without the struts sticking through the tops! But yes, please do a part two on this - let it have one last go at being a car before it finally dies.
part 2 definitely mate would love to see it going 👍
Yes we want part 2!
Yes James it's worth buying a starter just to see the old girl cough back into life again and the Smile on Marcus face . You never know maybe he bust a few of his legendary Dance move's to Celebrate 🤣😂💪🏻

That would never work. I need a second opinion Doctor.
Yes please, .would love to see part 2 😁👍👍👍👍
Always loved those rear lights.
I had a mk1 about 45 years ago and the inner wings were in similar condition, think the bonnet was holding the struts down
One of my all time fav Cars all the Cortina's from the MK1 to the MK5's.... Great to see that Bad boy fire up you can see in his face it will fire its a classic FORD!! Good-Luck Marky go for it :)
My first car was one of these, same model, same colour! Paid £80 for it, drove it around for a year and then Banger raced it! 😊👍

Being a breaker inc old stuff, you should have a starter somewhere, get it fitted!
Oh yes, a part 2 please. Buuuut, How about taking the cooling fan off, and turning it over with an impact gun, rather than splurging on a starter?
Part two all day long 👍
Get the old girl running I say 👍 I'm sure you guys can do it. Marks magic figures should do the trick!
or else you'll be buying us all breakfast haha
