1978 Ford TE Cortina – Very original

I have for sale a 1978 Ford Cortina which car great until the head gasket blew only a few weeks after having it registered (RWC was done at the same time) For the roadworthy a bit of work was required and cost around $1300, with new bushes for the front suspension and new front and rear brake pads and calipers.

The car only has 139,278 kms!!!! We bought the car off a family friends grandma which owned it since brand new, and use to drive it to church.

My brother has given this car to my little sister (whos 13) so I’m selling it for her as she has no use for a car for quite a few years.

The car has been very well looked after and overall is in great condition for its age. The only problem with the car is that it has a blown headgasket..

The car is an auto, 4 cylinder, 2.0litre but can be replaced very easily as there is heaps of room in the engine bay..

Car has never been boosted or drifted :)

Call me on 0401554476 or email me at [email protected]

I am located in the Melbourne, Western suburbs.

Thanks

Looking for about $1000 ono – Car should be fine for RWC but no supplied

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
