1966 Mk1 cortina GT She Drives!

I didn't realise how long it had been since the last update, happy new year to everyone who reads this!

The exhaust is tacked up but functional

The fuel tank is in and plumbed in temporarily as I need to get a flaring tool etc and fab some brackets so it looks more factory and is better supported than the 2 clips that ford fitted!

I'm doing some research into it but are rivnuts ok with people clips?


It runs as close to a proper running car which is an amazing feeling for me!

The next job whilst I'm getting other ideas sorted so I figured I'd try to repair a door - I've been avoiding it for years and now I can't avoid it anymore!

After many chemicals and sanding

Time to cut

Trial fitted (4th version!)

All in all its gone much better than I expected it'll need a bit of filler but I'll look at lead then a tiny blob of sandable stuff!

Today I've red oxided it and put it together then fitted it'll just need a fettle to be perfect!

And I'm now working on the front one which is worse!
