Classic Cars Restoration: Ford Cortina 1600e

At the moment it feels like we are performing a classic car restoration of a Ford Cortina MK2 1600e. The car is in fantastic condition for a 41 year old but it is going to better than when it came out of the factory all those years ago, At the moment we have the car on a spit so that we can clean the underside of the car which was well protected by a very thick coating of waxoil .


There have been a few patches that need dealing with but nothing major we have put on a new sill which was quite simple to do but has improved the look of the car. But before we can prepare the underside for paint we need to clean the inside of the cars floor , but once it has been done it should look really good because the body work is faultless .

We have realized that its not going to be a quick classic car restoration but it has become a labour of love in our spare time. It beats sitting at home watching that square thing in the corner of the room. Driving the Ford Cortina MK2 on the road again after all the hard work is going to be the most amazing experience. After all, they dont make cars like they used to and the ones that get all the admiring looks are the classics not the new family cars of today.
