Excellent: You have done a fair job on that MK-1, I used to have the 1500 GT MK1 which was a good motor. I noticed you have the standard Master-cylinder. I did a conversion on mine, I fitted a Rover 2000 inline Brake Servo on the inner wing, this really boosted my brakes by over 50%. That was a quick way of improving the brakes. I see you have fitted 4-pot brakes on the front, so with as inline Servo, it will stop well. Have fun.🤨
Thanks for the comment Chris, Because I wanted to make the engine bay neat and minimal, I've fitted a VH44 servo under the right guard, so it has more than enough stopping power.
I think strictly dry days only for this one, I toyed with the idea of detailing my white mk 1 2 door underneath but 3 years since finishing it I'm so glad I never, it's one thing trying to keep the car clean on top, but underneath I think would just be to much, fair play though and superb job, that is one clean cortina, savvy engine choice too
If it was a Lotus I would of gone with the Lotus green for the stripe and kept it original, as it's a 4 door Cortina with a Toyota engine I went with the colour that I liked - cheers
I couldn't find a decent 2 door shell at the time, but I admit it would of been nice. and the price of a lotus motor is just ridiculous so for performance and looks a $800 toyota transplant was a viable option.
Nice attention to detail on that underside!
Be proud of that my son! Top job

I'm lucky I live in Australia so I don't have to use it in the rain so it stays clean underneath, although it does get thrashed once a week lol
Regret I think green is bit bright and incorrect?
