Dave Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Oh my word!!!!! The beasty is alive!!!! Sounds sweet as mate, and a totally epic build! Had to laugh at your face in the vid, pure cheesing!!!!! And quite rightly too! Makes me want another Tina now, or something old Ford. Really like the custom front end on it, the lights etc kinda give it an almost mk3 tina look/American muscle car look.When she gonna be hitting the streets?

VTISmichael Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks dave, its really been one of projects that after a while you lose intrest but soon as you start her up it wakes you up and you love it again soo thats why i make those faces lolIm on a few cortina pages now on fb and i see alot of sweet tina's and escorts done by harris performance makes me want a mk2 mexico. Hopefully soon, got to rewire the front horn and wire up the speedo, test the brakes and gearbox, go for some test drives so i can make it to the mot place lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Lots happened today, decided to get some fuel and maybe take her for a drive, got her started and with alot of exhuast scraping she DROVE off the driveway yay! the exhaust is so low it hit the already low hump you get in the centre of a road! So i get back to the driveway, stop and smokes starts coming out of the engine bay eeeek!, the oil dipstick was touching the manifold and was cooking the oil in the pipe oops lol ive bent it away from the manifold now. Next problem couldnt get it started as the battery was dead, managed to push it out of the road and maneuver the crv behind the tina to jump it to get it on the drive, for some reason i decided to stop the tina there, battery was still dead, charging it tonight to run it tomorrow! So i think i might have to get these GAZ adjustable shocks to make the front stiffer and hopefully highier to get the exhuast away from the ground!

VTISmichael Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Had a bit of trouble getting it back in the garage, exhuast got caught on the lip of the garage and so as its to heavy for me to push it had to be urm forced which resulted in a reverse burnout lol it was my first one epic Oh i did a quick vid of some revving enjoy!
