Hello everyone!
My names Craig and i own a 1972 Cortina GXL, its my first car and project all at the same time. Its my everydayer and gets me all over without much incident.
Im into cars in a big way and often enjoy just listening to my "Sounds of Engines" compilation - yes i really am that sad!
I go to uni and study Mechanical Engineering and im in my final year having just spent a year working for Cummins Turbo Technologies (Holset). So now everything needs to be turbo charged!
Thanks for a great site and ill try to contribute as much as you all have!

I had a 2 litre estate for a while, it was just a shame that Ford fitted "soft" cams and hardened cam followers.
But then they wouldn't have been able to make as much money replacing camshafts. |
