I love all mk1 and 2 Cortinas, estates are super rare now. My first car was a 1600E back in '84 and I loved it. All these need to look good is a prod with the lowering stick and a set of period rims. Coool! Can I ask why you want to put an auto box behind a highly tuned Pinto though? I didn't think auto boxes worked properly with revvy engines? Deffo agree with the 'rack conversion, I always thought the standard steering box was the worse mechanical feature of them. Good luck with it mate and keep the pics coming.

Nice one - my dad had a Saluki Bronze mk2 estate - can't beat the shape - I then had four mk 2 estates in the 80's - a Blue Mink 1600 Super, an Alpina Green Savage (being restored somewhere), a white GT and a 1500 deluxe.
I'd have another one on a heartbeat. Going to be watching this build with interest

Tuned Pinto, 5 speed box and steering rack conversion FTW! Please loose the window film though, IMO it really doesn't suit it (or any car for that matter :

That brings back memories - in the late 70s I had a very early (1967) Mk2 Estate in white - it was an auto and as such was fitted with the pre crossflow Mk1 1500 engine rather than the crossflow units used on the manual versions. I had some nice fat Rostyle wheels on the back but standard steels on the front because I couldn't afford Rostyles all round . . .
