I didnt know 5 was friendlier than 4. The boot loom is an odd one, I need to go over some old photos as I'm not sure I've got in in position correctly - I don't want to wreck this one too!


Speaking of the loom I have now mounted it in the Cortina which wasnt as hard as I'd expect it to be although I didnt order enough loom clips!

The under dash is in place but not taped and I want to try it all before I work out the best way to tape it etc so cables arent too short or too long

Last weekend I was cleaning the tail lights ready to fit them and found that all 4 bulbs are original Ford ones which I still cant get over the fact they're working after 50 years!

The tail lights just needed the lenses cleaning and new gaskets.

The battery arrived yesterday and I'm hoping to be able to have some functional stuff!

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
