Retro Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 So this is my father Mk1 Cortina So we went looking for a cortina all the way up to chch and we just about brought this Cortina, but the guy turned it into a GT, so we passed on that one!! After getting sick of steelies and hubcaps, we found a guy that was willing to sell up some bet up minilights His workshop! he owns like 7 or 8 Mk1 Cortina's and 5 mini's We got the wheels professionally done at a tyre place in Invercargill, cost us $400 to get them like this And this is it with the minilights one 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Never has been raced before! When my old man was 17-18 (now 57) he use to piss up in it! the owner before us had done it up around about 10 years ago roughly! Took the old girl to blossy this weekend and then the drags today, so but no pictures of it up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
