	Hi! Some progress in the last 2 days Remove the right wing.....was not easy because the car had an accident on the right side in the past.And the quality of the repair is not the way i like.The Wing was only brazed... But look under the Wing There is no rust at the common places... French car=good car! After removing lots of filler... Cleaned it only... Time for strut repair....2 small holes only But for a proper repair i drilled it out... The new piece.... Surprise!Was not that bad at all... Cleaning... Some work to fit the new panel... Some primer befor welding... Puhh ::)enough for today! Cheers

	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 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... Also remove the old headlight ring. 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. The edge need some new metall here... The NOS Wing......don't ask me how much i spent on it 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. Some primer for the parts befor the final fit Upright!..so the primer flows nice in the edge of the wing... Cheers

	Absolutely fantastic work here and I can see from the attention to detail it's going to be mint when finished. I'm also going to use some of the pictures you posted of the drivers headlamp/front panel to rebuild mine
