mk5 cortina convertable, my project

[Guest v6dale]

got the beast running today, its one of the best 2.8 engines ive heard!! i had to strip out miles of bloody wire first tho, that went to an unused alarm so i was left with the basic wiring. after several atempts(stale fuel!!!) she roared into life now for the bodywork

Top notch mate. My initial thoughs were "ragtop Ford, outside for 8 years....weigh it in" but i can safely say you've proved me wrong! Top looking car mate, good luck with the rest of the build!

Dales car is not a Crayford (or a Carbodies). The Crayford has small glass windows in the rear sides.
