African Muscle Cars - Forum

Hello all,

My name is Sheldon. I have been on the forum before, actually a few years ago.

I drive a 1983 Ford Cortina XR6. But I have a passion for all cars.

Shu......it's been a while....thought no one was using this platform....but good to see some activities going on

....with that said....I am looking for a grill for a 20m RS....any leads will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi all.

I searched the forum and the web....no luck or I'm just hopeless on the search engines.

I'm in need of a wiring diagram for a mk5 Cortina, but also the wire colors.

If anyone has information it will be highly appreciated!

Welcome.

I would not do the triple Weber carbs...very expensive.

I'd try find a Meissner grind cam or a Richie Jute cam.

ZA Perana, are these still in circulation somewhere? Meissner? My dad had a big 6 2.5 in the 80's with the Meissner conversion and back then it was a machine.

Good evening,

By any chance, does anyone have pics or a diagram of what/ how the rear lock mechanism should look like once assembled/ installed? I took mine apart over a year ago and now can't recall how to put it back. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Ters, correct. I'm busy with some renovations at home, and also have my car being renovated lol. So just want something that I can use to keep it clear from any damages during the home renovations

Good evening, its been a while since I've been online. Hope everyone is good.
I need some info please. I need to source a place or person that can hire mobile stands. I'm in the process of refurbishing a car, but will need to move it around in the garage.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi All,

The door glass on my Cortina is scratched and looks K@K.

Any tips on how I can go about getting the scratches out?

I googled and got a number for a guy in Jhb, but he charges between R1000-R1500 per window

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks Gents! Appreciate the advise.

Will give it a try.

Thanks Kermit and Rassie.

@ Kermit, the problem is not on the windscreen section. It's a panel just below the windscreen. I will have to cut out the rust and fill it, but what can I fill it with to avoid the rust coming out again?
