Bluesplus2s Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 MkIII 2000E - Used every day come rain or shine for work and getting me to the fire station in a hurry! She's getting increasingly tatty around the edges and a bit of TLC hopefully isnt far away. (This pic was taken just after a quick blow over around 3 years ago!) MkI 1300E - Tax and test just expired. Got a few jobs to do on this one now, small bit of welding on the nearside strut top is only MOT fail. got peeling laquer on the bootlid and may have to 5 speed it! MkI 1300XL - Getting excited about this one now! I'll be adding a more in depth description of what I've done shortly but in brief: Purchased from a breakers in '02 for £285 and needing a lot of welding, it's now halfway through reassembly and starting to take shape. Unfortunately my workshop is at my mums house and 40 miles from where I live so I don't get much play time! As bought from the breakers in 02 Now looking much better! In the bodyshop November last year. MkI Van - Still just a rolling shell, and being used for parts storage at the mo! MkII RS2000 - Owned by me for 8 or 9 years now, other projects keep getting in the way! one day I'll do it. MkII Estate - Came off the road after a slight shunt and when the cortina became roadworthy. Not sure if it'll get done, trouble is you get attached to them! MkII Ghia - 2-door but rotten, although not beyond repair. Rolling shell at the moment. (swapped the pinto for my van) Well, very briefly that's my fleet. I've got plenty of photos of them all but didnt want to make this posting too slow. Let me know what you think, I need all the encouragement I can get!

Bluesplus2s Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Posted June 23, 2007 As I've had some time to play in the workshop, havent had much time in front of the computer. Here are some pics of the rest of my projects. MKII RS200 MKI Van This has now got axles but that's about it! Blue 2-Door and Estate along with the van This is a fairly up to date photo. As you can see, enough to keep me busy! That's it for now, I've got to go out. I'll sticks some pics up later of the restoration of the blue mk1.
lotusless Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 i dont think you need that van, i'll take it off your hands.
Bluesplus2s Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Posted June 23, 2007 Well if I ever decide to let it go, I'll let you know.
Bluesplus2s Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Posted June 23, 2007 Right, got some pics of my MkI resto... This was how it was bought, not too bad on the outside but I knew it needed welding to the strut tops, inner sills etc etc. After cutting off the rotten repair panel, this is what I was faced with. The other side was just as bad Both front floors / inner sills were shot too. One inner wing done and the new round light front panel on. Things started to take shape. After lots and lots of welding the bay started to look much better. All painted and x-flow in place. (I've since changed my mind and gone for a 2.1 Pinto) Got myself a rollover jig made up by a mate. This was when the anti tramp brackets were going on. Up until yesterday this is where I'm at. Got loads done yesterday but forgot my fooking camera
Copey Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 nice!!! Mk1 is lookin good, i think you need a capri though, you know, to complete ur fleet
Gonzo Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 Why does everyone junk square lights? why?!! oh, and I want your van too. Nice collection by the way.
DemonDriver Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 I like the white cortina, one of them was my very first car
