Ahmotorsport Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Just found a colour picture of the old one, this one will be, pretty well identical but no banded steels or arches and it will have an engine in it.  http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/AlanHassellCortinaMk1RegANK880B.jpg Edited May 30, 2012 by Ahmotorsport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmotorsport Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 I wish I could fabricate and all this type of stuff, do enjoy these total rebuild threads but they are never quick enough¬I mean i'm no body work bloke, but, after you get the general idea of how metals react when you bend where etc, you get the jist and can make most things. Credit were credits due.... Id have gone and got the shotgun and put it out its misery after finding half that welding requirement list.Believe me, this is a good one. I sh!t you not! Go on eGay and type it in, you see ones with door pillars fallen off etc. We went to go look at another one and the car was so rot the back end had fallen off it, i mean, from mid rear door back had fallen off.
