my old Cortina's

[jester241uk]

here's some pics of my old Cortina's GLL 387C was my 1st ,had this before i left school used to drive it and out the garage and up and down the drive after school any excuse to start it up,moved down to Devon when i was 16 from Maidstone and the Cortina went to Dover for storage , about 6 months later got it trailored down and tidied it up as best i could hand painted it with Woolworths gloss came out alright and was easy for the odd learner prangs, eventually got hold of a GT which had gone rusty so had the wings and engine for mine, then had it sprayed black, had it on the road for about 5 yrs all in picked my new born daughter up in it from the hospital ,shortly after it came off the road for top plate repairs, which ended up being florpans inner and outer sills rear wheel arches etc got it back to paint stage and mortgage and small family meant it never got finished and ended up selling it for £200 plus a shed full of spares including 3 sets of Lotus steels

Next came the white one about 7 years or so ago after 3 capri's then various newer crap, used it everyday apart from wheels was bog standard was going to get the rear arches redone someone had fitted them wrong ,but hey ho marriage looking dodgy,mounting debts it had to go

and now i have another, the marriage and mortgage have gone kids are older fingers crossed its a keeper BEWARE DODGY FASHION AND HAIRSTYLES!!!!!!!!!!
