I would think you could sell the Cortina and buy an mx5 and have change left over. But yeh a great donor for a book car. steering rack is a little
wide for a book car but rear axle is fine and you could use most of it.
A local banger racer was made to sell some of his stock, Granada's ect where fetching an easy £500

Yep I used a MK IV Cortina as my donor. Used front hubs, engine, gearbox, rear axle, steering column, pedal box (with modifications) and master brake
cylinder incl servo. Couldn't get the steering rack to fit without modifications to the chassis so used a modified escort unit, also the
radiator was too big.

Are you keeping the 1300 crossflow engine that comes with it or selling this and going for a Zetec or pinto ?
