So much potential! Had a few overseas in SA & loved them. Do you have a motor in mind or looking? Good ol Essex 3.0l or 8 would be nice!

That's crying out for a 4.1 litre straight six like some of the Australian Cortinas got.

I had a 1982 Cortina 1600 My second car. Fiberglass canopy on the back glass three sides. Loads of use from it, and many many nights spent sleeping in it on the beach, waiting for the sunrise so we could get in the ocean to go waveski. The ocean was addictive. White canopy and cream steel wheels with stainless trim rings.   Really looking forward to you get yours back together and on the road. Subscribed. |

My mate had one back in the 90s - I remember using it to bring a washing machine back home from my Nan's - we had no ratchet straps or rope so I sat in the back and held on to it... It was completely safe - nobody got hurt! Looking forward to seeing this. |

I helped a colleague swap the blown up 1.6 pinto in his for a 2.0 back in 1988. Don't think I've seen one in the flesh since the early 90s.
Anyway, I'm in.

My worst worry about dying is my wife selling my stuff for what I told her it cost...

Always liked these, the Cortina ones were a rare sight round my way even 20 years ago.. do you have the bed for it?
I briefly owned a very late sierra cabbed one with a factory 1.8td.. stupidly sold it to my sisters then bf who promptly crashed it :/
