My V6 Arched Mk2 Cortina Repainted 3/4/11

[Lukey]

Right, as most of you know some c**t smased the motor up a few weeks ago, managed to get about £500 indamages back from the court so all not lost.

 

Anyway given i would have to paint 70% of the car anyway to blend in panels I may as well do the lot. Again, god job i do it myself eh lol.

 

Here are my efforts from the last 2 days, done all the repair and replaced the passenger front door (cheers sibbo) got rid of the dents elswhere too

 

losing te side stripes and using frozen white rather than diamond too and trying something different with the roof, anyway, rood is now done goin to paint the rest over the weekend.

 

heres the damage

 

 

now my efforts

Finished today!!!

 

After a few issues with paint pickling its finished, although may have to redo the drivers door , not bad for a 4 day turnaround i think, very pleased with the roof.

 

Now ford frozen white with black roof & gloss wheels, Note the black door frames, exhausts now exit out rear valance which has been cut, you cant see but the left exhaust comes from the right manifold & vice versa to make the them equal lenghts as the come under the left side of the axle, new bonnet lifted at rear.

 

Cheers to Ross (442) and marie for your help today!

Cheers guys,

 

Tom, next on the list is to re trim the inside, then paint the engine and bay cos they taken a bit of a beating since all the running problems so want to tidy it all up a bit, made some new 1600e style badges but with a twist will post up in a bit.

 

oh & back on the classic ford stand this year woop
