I can't believe the amount of graft going on class job
Since I got a capri I've said "over the moon" a lot more than ever before.

Re: LOTUS MK1 CORTINA RESTORATION
Hi,
Wow, some amazing work going on there. I've just read the restoration thread of your 3.0s, and if the end result of this car is anywhere near that standard, this will be jaw-droppingly stunning. Keep up the good work.
I look forward to reading further updates.
All the best,
Andrew.

I am blown over by the quality of this restoration.
I cannot wait to see this in full paint.
I take it you are going with the traditional white and green for the paint?
Keep it up

Lots of goodness here.
My friend has an L block for sale if you need one. It comes with cranks rods and pistons. No head unfortunately.
