Hi,I've been lurking on here for some time and though I should actually post something, this is my long term project that I have owned since I was 19 back in 2005. The reason for buying the Cortina was that the Triumph Herald my dad purchased via a radio auction (seriously!) was less than deserving of the MOT it had been supplied with! The Cortina was used daily till the engine went into Cadillac arrest after losing oil pressure on a spirited country drive, this was just before I departed for university so the Cortina stayed in my parents garage with the intention of fixing the engine and

Sure i had some 1/4 bumpers for one somewhere. Shall check tomorrow. Had a few Mk 1’s culminating in a Lotus. Fantastic cars.That would be amazing if you do, what was the lotus like? I imagine a bit more power and the DCOE's must be intoxicating.gf15 said: Well done. I love projects where people do their own work under less than ideal conditions. Look forward to the updates.The GT is the same age as I am.Thank you. I bought the cortina not only because it was cool, I was 19 and thought girls would talk to me if I had a cool car. (Turns out they don't!) I wanted something I could play with, its what piqued my interest in engineering so I can thank the car for giving mr a career.I've tried to do as much as possible even attempting to paint her, this I'll come on to once I've sorted the photos. I hope you're in better shape than my Cortina!wolfracesonic said: Top work OP and top free vehicle storage parents!Thank you! I didnt give them a choice to be fair!Legacywr said: The Mk1 Lotus Cortina is probably my favourite car, but, I could certainly settle for a GT.Fantastic shape.Good choice! Have you had one? To be honest I wasn't looking for a Cortina when I bought it, I was looking at Mgb's but struggled to find one that I'd want to own and thats when the cortina popped up locally on ebay and I fell in love with it!I found that I have about 1500 photos that need resizing (dont worry I wont post all of them!) I'll be updating tomorrow with more photos
