History: After owning 2 other TF cortinas, which were both riddled with rust, I found another 1 owner example. After some small talk with the owner I managed to get it cheap. The log books and Ford manuals were chucked in with it. Its a TF S Pac Cortina, auto with the air-con. The interior was in great condition, air-con didn't work and had only 123,000kms. The suspension was worn, but otherwise this thing drove really nice. And the major bonus, no rust. At all (So I thought). After owning 2 I knew where to look. It was perfect. I replaced the steering and suspension with my old items I had at home which were re-coed and modified (H/D lowered springs, whiteline swaybars etc). I put on a set of extractors and a Weber carb off a XE falcon. Replaced the diff with my diff which is an LSD with 3.45:1 ratio. The car ran a 15.96, still with the BW auto. After this, I had a really, really bad experience with a backyard panel beater/spray painter, which I don't want to mention as it just upsets me too much, SO DON'T ASK! After installing the said bits above (main difference is its lowered) That was 7 years ago. And here started my journey into building this car, myself. I have bought a few bits which I'll keep to myself until I install them as its not worth mentioning. But the basic idea is to go turbo 6 and have a really nice streeter. But I do want things to be done to the best of my ability. So what I can do, I will. I made up a set of mini-tubs Made a Rotisserie from 2 engine stands

Hey guys. I want to make an airbox for the corty, but would love to use the checkered pattern on it which is seen on the rocker cover, intake plenum, heatsheild etc. I thought I saw something once which was a triangle shape type thing and flat which had the pattern. I thought it might have been an airbox lid design or something, but I can't seem to find anything. Is there anything else that maybe the fairlanes or ltd's had which had this pattern that I could use to create an airbox lid?

Engine parts with the checkered pattern on them

Nar its ok. I thought it was more like the rocker cover. But its a different pattern. I just knew that somewhere in my head I had this image of it and I thought it was more like the rocker pattern. Thanks anyway. I think I'll just get a rocker cover and cut it up to use as my air box top. Thanks guys -

No. I just saw something else though. It was a small turbo piping which came off the throttlebody and had the checkered pattern, plus ford plus turbo on it. I bet its rare as hell though. -

I couldn't look at the damn thing anymore, so I made up a new bracket. Much cleaner and simpler. The stupid things you do when you over think things. Alternator bracket next
