Agreed too ! The info on forums is great

Ah mate I had to sell the last one to pay my divorce 😬 just doing another one ! Great shell still on original sills 🤞🏼So stripping and painting underneath before I start putting new mechanicals in it. ( duratec or Ecoboost)

Did you fit these to your cortina mate? Just wondering as I’m about to do the same cheers

If you put Oxy acetylene near that arch you'll ripple the panel. The other areas would be fine with it. Even tig can ripple a panel with the heat build up. Buy a mig welder do it yourself it's really not hard the secret is to weld pause weld pause to the same timing as you say those words. Do this for no more than an inch at a time then allow it to cool completely( never quench it or blow compressed air on it). The metal must be super clean both sides with a 1 mm gap on all sides of your ( butt welded) patch , buy argoshield or even better argoshield light not co2. Practice on some sacrificial metal before you go near the car. Like most things in life the key is in the preparation.

Shame that's pretty cool. I think as escort prices burst through the stratosphere people will take more interest in cars like this, corsairs consuls etc good luck with the sale mate

Thrush hush box ?!?! Is that the 70s version of caneston combi?

Can anyone ID this gearbox please lads ? Cheers stew

Hi there bought my first old skool ford at the wekend !! Became very jaded with modern performance cars and wanted a mk1 cortina for years . tHis one is solid and had lots of nice new panels on it although some of the panel alignment isnt the best!!! Any recommendations for a good bodyshop in central scotland who can weldf in a large tunnel for t5 box and do some work on the body. Ive a hole in the boot floor that needs welded too!! plan is a cosworth sleeper hopefully attachment=4165:032 (Small).JPG]
