That's astonishingly solid under there, I don't think I've ever seen a Ford of this era look that free of rust.

Yay!! Even I didn't think it'd be that good! This panel was apparently crashed, repaired, and crashed again... I'm glad it wasn't rotten, especially since I went to all kind of salty places ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Keep at it mate!!!

Hi! Today i spent hours to get the front valance straight on the right side.There must be a big chrash in the past... ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Also remove the old headlight ring. ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Cortina/IMGP0211_zps63f5d318.jpg) For those in the know....have you ever seen such a fine headlight ring in a 50 year old cortina?...but only on the left side. ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Cortina/IMGP0212_zps28274730.jpg) The edge need some new metall here... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Cortina/IMGP0210_zps20acdb4e.jpg) The NOS Wing......don't ask me how much i spent on it ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Cortina/IMGP0209_zps3143c935.jpg) ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Cortina/IMGP0208_zps7bbfc201.jpg) This will need some serious work to fit..... Thanks for looking! Schönen Abend!

Hi! The edge on the front valance is too far gone. I cut out a piece out of the old 2 door and weld it on the edge of the wing. It's important for me that the beading from the wing to the valance is correct. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Cortina/IMGP0214_zpsff874cc5.jpg) Some primer for the parts befor the final fit ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Cortina/IMGP0215_zps812bde40.jpg) Upright!..so the primer flows nice in the edge of the wing... ![](http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/picknicker70/Cortina/IMGP0216_zps089be7d3.jpg) Cheers
