MK2 vANKER Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hi all my name is Dwayne, just joined. I scored this off some friends the other week. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE, PLEASE FIRE AWAY! It needs A LOT of work, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel. It's got a 2.0L Cortina motor in it but will need to be ripped out as it just doesn't fit right. Has no plates or tags so I'm just doing my homework before I spend any money on it. Plans, however would be to get it sandblasted first, patch up the rust with new metal and bring out the dents. paint it a nice forest green colour with original chrome redone, and custom interior with bucket seats. We shall see. Here are some photos. Tell me what you think. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
