The Cortina restoration continues at a slow pace. It is pretty hard to get motivated to go out in the workshop to work on it in this cold wet weather. When I got back from my run this morning I found Hubby working on the drivers seat install. It is a bit of a fiddle as he had to use Anglia seats because he couldn't find any Cortina ones. There was one set on Trade Me once but they were asking $800 for the seat frames basically as they were in really bad condition. So Anglia seats it is but not without some work.
As we start our winter projects, I thought I’d look back at our favourite builds. Pretty much all work carried out in house. If you need help with a build/restoration, be sure to give us a call 👍🏼 • • • #historicracing #classiccar #restoration #racecar #racingcar #sportscar #racing #fabrication #motorsportfabrication #motorsport #lotuscortina #cortina #cortinamk1 #mk1cortina #ford #fordcortina #lotus #twincam #touringcar #historictouringcar #airflowcortina (at Gerry Wainwright Motorsport)

Driving old school to look at new cars. It was a lovely sunny day but the wind was frigid so perfect for driving. Daughter needs a new car so we swung past the car yards on the way home.
