ok guys just wanting to show this little gem that have just carried out a restoration,thoughts :coolgleamA:
COOL ! Is that a Cortina?
Looks good. What's the power plant?
Nice. Cosworth engine?
Looks good
Does that mean the Charger got done first that was up on its side in the first pictures and is now gone in the last pictures ?

no still got the charger just in storage at the moment :2thumbs:
Nice....I used to have white Mk1...with the lowly 1100 engine! Followed by a Venetian Red Mk2 4 door L model with the mighty 1.3 engine (55 horses...LOL)!! Before I moved on to a string of Ford Capris! If I had them and sold them now I could buy a fully build protour Charger for cash!!! Taught me most of what I know about rear wheel steering (back when I was 17/18) at speeds that would not get me killed!! Kids today...all learning in/driving front drive hatches (in the UK at least!)......don't know what they as missing. Who needs reliability, comfort, heating that works, bodies that don't rust, brakes that slow the car down, power steering...........
Nice!

could not agree more,we had more fun(late 80's,early 90's)when escorts,3 litre capris,vauxhall magnums etc were 10 a penny :2thumbs: would rather have that era back than what there is now,fun times :D
Very nice! Should be fun!
I was born in Belgium in '74, so I'm very familiar with the style of cars. Totally love it!
Used to love to see those when I visited family in the UK back in the day. Nice!
That looks like it is a ton of fun :coolgleamA:
