Benno Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Certainly an ambitious project! Seems to be coming along pretty nicely though. Reg on hold or dereg? If dereg, I presume you're aware of the need for a repair cert for rust repairs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Fuckin hell man - first time I have read this thread, you sir are a freakin masochist but also a well talented sheet metal man. This project reminds me of the VW rebuild by 63 Ragtop. Same axe - but 2 heads and 7 handles later. Good job and I'm very very jealous of your skills. Have you got a target for completion? What colour are you going? Is this going to be a stock resto with subtle period mods or are you going to make it a flashy show piece? ALL of the questions. I'm in awe.

junglesponge Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yeah mate im goin as close to standard as possible. I am goin floor shifter and front single seats instead of bench and other bits but im sticking with the 1300 but I have put 1600 valves and gt cam in it. Im gonna go ermine white with black vinyl roof. It feels like im doin a show car as I have painted every little peice and have replaced every bolt in it with a new one. I just want to hop in at the end and know that every thing I can restore or replace with new was done. Im funny like that. and thanks for your comments. They are much appreciated as it can be a lonely road when no one can see what you know it will become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 yeah man, this is the first Time I have read your build thread also. Im am blown away, you have some epic skills! Super cool. sounds like a good plan. Was worried you were going to paint your car to match your rocker cover and fit g zeros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglesponge Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Haha g zeros.... nah I aint like that. I thought the rocker cover might be a lil loud but I can change it later if i dont get used to it. Thanks for you comments it gives me major motivation to push on.

j.e.d. Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 This is an amazing build, you're doing a fantastic job so far & I can't wait to see it all done & on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 just read your build thread, what a awesome job you have done so far! i love mk2 cortinas, pretty choice you scored some gt seats, what rims are you going with? factory rims widened with hubcaps look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglesponge Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Thanks for your comments it gives me a good push especially on days I feel lazy. As of the wheels im not sure yet. I might go for standard rims at this point because a love how the car sits on them and I have all chrome hubbys and surrounds but it all depends what they look like in the end. They dont fill the guard width well. 15inch mini lites look good but banga(another cortina build) put his car on them way before i even thought of them and I dont wanna be a copy.

maxted Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 nice mate just widen the standard rims to fill the guards better, looking forward to following your progress, yeah mini lites do look the business on cortinas, its going to look the part when your done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
