1975 Ford Cortina xle review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have bent the two rear axles, first burnout I done.
Over heated sitting in traffic once.
Replaced both head gaskets 1 month ago 22/12/03.
Two pack paint work starting to get stone chips here and there.
Both rear tires always bald.
General comments?
The cortina has more than enough power.
It is a very good performer, 360kw 10sec@135mph.
