Hey Benny, I'm just down the hill in Santee!
I'm pretty sure I have seen you driving the Lotus colored Cortina around for years.
I'm picking up the car from a guy named Mike in Kensington. I'm sure you know who he is as he has quite a few Cortinas' including a MK1 V8 like yours.
Thanks for the offer of help! I DEFINATELY will be asking you for info on the parts. The car is decent but will be needing alot of the little things gone through.
