I started my classic car life with MkV Cortina's and I'd love another...

Good luck with this one. I do love a MkV I do!!!

Not sure about those mirrors but cool car all the same The rear boot rack has already been removed and the over riders. Mirrors, tow bar and the three aerials will be going too! Need to work out how to get pics up properly too now that photobucket doesn't work

Wasnt keen on the boot rack so removed it. Quick once over with the mop. Both passenger doors have been painted and are very flat. Gave them a quick go over too This pic probably shows best the love the paint needs. Coming up ok for now, but will get a blow over at some point down the line.

Bit more cutting back done but still a long way to go, its a bit too warm. Changed the rear tyres as they were pretty old and we had a couple of better ones kicking around. Removed the over riders, and the tow bar. While we were there we pulled the rear lights, cleaned them up and gave them a light smoke and blacked the back panel. I have also unearthed a rear box that looks like we can make fit with a little fettling.

For this year i just want to clean it up and enjoy it really. I want to loose the wing mirrors and weld up the holes they will leave behind and do the same with the 3 aerials! I'm trying to resist the tempation to restomod it at the moment.

Stayed late at work, SWMBO wasn't happy, but got the old girl looking shiney enough for the enfield pagent next weekend. Ive ordered a cherry bomb for the back and an 8 ball gear knob to replace the wooden cobra head one thats on there. Hopefully we can grab some time to recolour the wheels before the weekend too.

It's looking awesome now the paint has been brought back! And I can completely understand the urges you're having to resist to start modding ha!

It will be receiving a drop, I'm just sitting on he fence with the wheels at the moment. Going to two tone them and see how I like them or its getting 13s. Paint has come up well, but the 2 door that have been painted are still not right. Not sure what paint was used so may wet flat them and try to laquer them up.

Neat looking Tina. A set of Revolution or RS 4 spokes would suit that lovely.
