Can't see anything wrong with those.

Hi. There has been some progress with the cortina. The trouble is that other life things get in the way.

I thought you must have been very proud of the engine bay and motor install
Certainly looking good, have you had a drive in it yet?

Just a drive around the block. Feels like it always was. Very happy with it but the cost has run away a bit.
Cheers

John,
If you fit just the side glass & forget the front & back ones you’ll have a
really good aircon system… except when it rains.
And, considering weight transfer, I reckon you don’t need to bother with brakes at the rear.
The door is probably essential though.
Oh, and the spiffy interior.
Though I reckon if you’re desperate you could get away with a stackable plastic chair with a piece of rope for a seatbelt.

That looks pretty good John. What's the next project?
