Great thread, saw many Vaz over in bulgaria on a recent holiday! Have you got any information on the rear antiroll bar/stabiliser bar kit that you have fitted on there? Looks like it would fit nearly anything! Would improve many a british sportscar. Yes, Bulgarians still have a lot of Ladas left on road. Stabilizer is made for Lada (it's aftermarket stuff) but I believe that it's possible to fit on British sports cars with some upgrades . Here are some fotos of it: Pries is about 100 EUR. Now I'm in a middle of welding of rear parts:

The Mk1 Cavalier has a rear anti-roll bar that looks quite much like that.

Cold start after one and a half year. Welding is done, so it's time to move forward and prepare car body for painting.

Thanks rusty998! I send you a PM with info and link about that rear anti roll bar.
p.s: Cortina looks magnificent! Is it dark,dark... blue or black?

So, as the gearbox is in place, exhaust got in the place too, with some corrections on the pipe angles. The sound is great, just as I wanted it to be. Not so loud and close to stock. Here's a short video on cold start on twin carbs.
