best place for spares is FB sadly (or not so sadly I say) , "ford cortina fan club" is one group that has mainly mk3/4/5 owners on there.

I watched that on EBay (I think it was also for sale a while ago?) but it went past what I could afford. It certainly looked solid! What’s the plan with it?

plan is to smarten it up, get it running properly, get it UK registered and possibly even put some paint on it. Its fairly solid, sills are good etc , couple of bits. I'm guessing next month it will be MOT exempt (its a feb 79) but not tax exempt until next year or is it later this year?

Now UK registered. Didn't have to MOT it. Did have to tax it. (Ouch) Going to look at the brakes next.

Calipers stripped, pistons and seals cleaned, reinstalled and now it has brakes! Sorted the non working lights etc and took for test drive.  Not bad, some niggles , such as speedo doesn't work but hey. Its a running driving working car! Mirrors are useless, not sure what sort of mirrors these usually had but anything would be better than these useless bullet mirrors. Got some other projects I really need to be cracking on with so will be looking to sell on next month, not sure whether to paint it or not. If i did paint it it would be a temporary kind of thing, to make it look better than being in primer but it would be a lot of work to prep it and make it nice. If anyone's interested in the car as-is give me a shout. Its on a T reg and I've just had some nice metal numberplates made for it. |

I'd love to have it but unfortunately I'm on the other side of the world from you and have too many unfinished projects already.
Those wheels suit it btw.
