I had a cortina years ago,one of my first cars. They were ok till the void bushes in the rear suspension wore out, it was like 4 wheel steering only you didnt control the rear wheels lol..

Central heating would make all the difference to corrosion! Excellent to see!!!

That motor is mint - can't believe people have these just sitting in their garages - someone would pay good money for that I would think.
