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
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 🤣😂💪🏻
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.
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😊
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 :)
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
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 👍👍
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
There has to be a part two. Prove to us you will go, no... not all the way, that is just bait for someone. Show us that you can complete a task started. 😁
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
"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 .
