Holy cr*pola Mark - I'd be over the moon with a finish on ANY of my cars to match the engine bay - excellent work and embarassing speed. I can't thank you and TonyBMW enough for the advice, chats, help and your threads - giving mye the long distance kick up the butt to try and 'up my game'. Looking forward to seeing it all in that Copper - retinas beware  |

Nice one Mark, can´t help but thinking that the Capri bonnet would look good in that colour ;D we'll have to see what paint I have left once its done but I can't see it being a problem to accent the Capri with a bit of orange ;D Holy cr*pola Mark - I'd be over the moon with a finish on ANY of my cars to match the engine bay - excellent work and embarassing speed. thanks but the bay is only gun finish at the mo. its not been polished at all but it has come out very well the body of the car will be much smoother though I can't thank you and TonyBMW enough for the advice, chats, help and your threads - giving mye the long distance kick up the butt to try and 'up my game'. no probs mate anytime we wanna see one of your cars at the gathering this year though ;D Looking forward to seeing it all in that Copper - retinas beware thanks the colour is so much better in the flesh though I can't wait to get it out in some sunshine once its done Great work as always. Is there any thing you carnt do body work building engines and wiring. Enjoying the updates and look forward to seeing the car when its done. thanks for the kind comments guys there's plenty of bits I can't do but i'm working on them ;D I need to learn trimming and a nice machine shop would be nice ;D |

Pretty amazing work. Did Ford build a 2 door mk3 Cortina?
The look of all those wires makes my head hurt. It took me 2 hours just to fit my car stereo on sunday.

I remember a write in one of the mags back in the 90s on your old white one.. was really impressed with it.. seem to remember something about a little mishap you had with the bonnet?? and it ended up in lots of little bits?!!!!!!!! or am I just going mad in my old age?!! what ever happened to the white one?? no don't worry your not going mad that was in street machine back in 99 and the thing with the bonnet happened a couple of times  that particular time the bonnet pins hadn't clipped in place properly and the bonnet flipped ripped off at the corners and flew about 20ft in the air and landed in a heap in the road it was so bad that I was able to roll up the upper skin and put it in the boot took me 2 weeks to get it back to the correct shape . that shape being that it was a genuine Geoff uren savage GRP bonnet  incidentally its the same bonnet that is on the my silver GT and Darren's GT in the pics ;D the white one was morphed into :  which sadly looks like this at the mo minus the doors  though it may look a little diferent again some time this year ;D |

Couldn´t you just use spacers on the back to get you a bit of clearance and redo the arches to match? Nice to see the Herforder crate coming un useful.  |

This is going to look stunning , those wheels are tight but worth the effort to fit as they really suit the car

Awesome. Everything about it is just fantastic (like everything else you seem to touch).
Makes me feel guilty about not sorting my MoT advisory drop link from 6 months ago.

that particular time the bonnet pins hadn't clipped in place properly and the bonnet flipped ripped off at the corners and flew about 20ft in the air and landed in a heap in the road it was so bad that I was able to roll up the upper skin and put it in the boot took me 2 weeks to get it back to the correct shape . that shape being that it was a genuine Geoff uren savage GRP bonnet 
incidentally its the same bonnet that is on the my silver GT and Darren's GT in the pics ;D
