    So thanks to a lovely chap at the swap meet this weekend I got a free Cortina bootlock which is the same as an escort WINNNNN The lock had no key which was no problem for me as I want to use my escort key How to make your key fit other locks FIrst I pulled the tumbler out and then inserted my key, holding one side of the tumbler you should see prongs protruding, all you basically do is grind those flat so no prongs are protruding, the old key can still open the lock aswell as your key good to know =P. Simply put back together test with key until perfect sorted, this can be done with any barrel tumbler lock. If you want diagrams or more indepthh I can do so

    so did she pass, you bet she passed after the wof dude gave her box a true smashing like I mean I was cringing she was legal once again after four years of hard work, Have a few photos I will share, it even made the journey of 1200km to nelson and tiki touring without any to major hickups, not bad for a engine that was sitting for four years, So yes I defied all the odds people where saying "you cant build a car in under a month" well guess what your wrong because I did plus some Here are some pictures from along the way from getting stuck in a reserve to scenic views

    Now I didn't get many photos on finishing as I had two weeks before I had to be on a boat with this car, due to holiday period everyone was in a go slow and panic was setting in, however with a week to go she was ready for a wof these are a few photos before the wof, 2months work is now depending on how well I built this car.

    I got gifted a original rug from my granddad and it goes perfect on the back seat to hide the shitty seat (he calls it a struggle rug, says you put it down to stop her knees getting dirty) , spot the perve

    Next was a exhaust I was very strapped for cash at this point and managed to pick up a 1 3/4 exhaust of a angle box how ever it was to short so we added a bit of Bedford pipe in the middle so now is more like 1 3/4 out of extractor 2 in in the middle then back to 1 3/4 the system runs through a coby before the diff then straight out,thinking I need a muffler as it backfires underload, I also re installed windows door handles etc with 35 percent tint all around including back window screen, don't have any pics of this but more pics of car progressing in other pics like exhaust ones

    While I was at it I installed new window rubbers RS type which where solid rubber I was lucky enough to have a awesome granddad who was a glazier and helped me install the windows here a few photos of the lead up to install then installing the window rubbers, this job is honesty cringe worthy at points Also forgot to show you my tyre choice I scored a set of 13x7 hotwires and there laced with 205 13 60s
