G'day mate, if your in Adelaide and looking for spare parts or need any mechanical services for your Cortina try the Pitstop Service Centre, 11 Mary St, Hindmarsh. they specialise in early 4 clynder ford's and are pretty helpful.
have fun!

The problem with older cars is that most people dont want to spend the money on keeoing them on the road. It is easier to buy a new Hyundai for $12k than it is to spend money on an old car that will have something else break down again next week. AS such, wreckers are going out of business. Shame really, poeople dont know what they are missing. I am hoping fo find a MK3 Tina GXL one day. I just love the shape.
