1978 Ford Cortina te Ghia review from Australia and New Zealand
"The best power to price ratio available"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the clutch soon after purchasing the vehicle.
A new set of brakes were needed through out the car.
The cars are very high and must require lowering to gain more street credit.
General comments?
Well the Cortinas are very cheap for what they are.
Sound system wise they are perfect with a nice sealed chamber trapping in the sound.
Stock tacho beatiful.
I can't get over how nice the gearing is once you get used to the beast.
I have fallen I love with Cortinas and will always have a place for them in my heart.
