Hi Jim,
Nice to see you on this site. What a fabulous car you have. How much work have you had to do over the last 19 years? _________________ Keep Torqueing,

You have got it right I was at tatton for two years it was the years Autoglym held there qualifing rounds there I qualified for the final both years all toogether I was in 8 finals in a row 6 at the NEC 1 at gaydon and the last they had in london at alexander palace
It took me 2 years to restore at home every year since I take the engine out in winter for painting cleaning etc
It takes a lot of my time to keep it in the condition I have got it to
Heres the engine bay

Hi Cortina Jim ...
I can't remember ever seeing a Cortina looking this good before, even when they were brand new!
Cheers - Bugly |
