my mk5 cortina estate

[reb78]

I have just discovered this thread. Truly astounding work. Especially as mostly outside and not with "proper" tools.

My hat is off to you sir !

Sums up my thoughts too.

Nice work, doubt my old one will still be running..... I swapped the 1.6 for a 2.0.... wolf in sheeps clothing would be interesting to drive one now, might remove my rose tinted glasses.... loved that car even in that colour......

Dad had a Mk4 and then a Mk5 Cortina - think they were both 2.0 Ghia models. Then he moved to the Mk2 and then Mk3 Granadas till I had too many siblings to fit into a normal car...!

Tax it? I'd have to separate it from the field it's sat in first!

I have similar for a 1974 Vauxhall Magnum. Last taxed in 1990. It is in a garage as opposed to a field and will run though.

My 1969 Rover P5B was last taxed in 1980. Been indoors since then. Amazes me how many vehicles there are around hidden away.
