Cortina mk2

[Cookie]

Ok, started ripping cortina apart yesterday

 

mmmmm, can't remeber all those bits of rot 2 years ago when she got shunted to back of unit

 

Anyway, gonna be needing a whole host of panels and looking at hadrians selection, well, frankly is appaling

 

So anyone got any suggestions of where to find such things as headlamp panels and front and rear valances,windscreen gutter ends also want fiberglass wings, boot and bonnet to offset my extra poundage

 

I know express panels do them, but fook me its gonna cost billions from them and heard they are'nt even a great fit

 

Here's a pic of the starting to rip apart procedure, excuse the crap quality but the electric run out down the workshop

 

 

 

 

Rammed up againts the wall before dragging it out where she been sleeping for last few years

Im a bit light on panels at the mo but ill keep me ear to the ground for ya. Ive got alot of interior and mechanical stuff if you need anything pm me a list ill let you know. Ive always wanted a two door a project well worth doing i reckon!

There are a few bits available, Some is thru the Owners clubs, others at Expressed, its allways worth a look on BuySellCortina, Most of the underfloor parts are the same as Mk1 Cortina, Inner wings are obviously fifferent,, But I have a front half of a Mk1 chassis rail on my Mk2, so i know they fit

Cheers guys

 

I think i'm gonna ave to strip it and get it blasted before findind out the real truth on her, its not looking good, think its gonna be a lot worse than anticipated, although inner wings and original top plates are spot on, and the flloor needs very minimal work (famous last words though eh

 

Anyway will keep u posted and must remeber to see bank about re-morgaging house to fund expressed panels xmas bonus
