Default My new baby - MK5 2.3 Ghia Cortina





she was destined to be bangered. the bloke I bought her from - Paul FORD - had already been offered £80 by a banger racer. I offered £150 which he accepted.

She's done 103k miles and has had 2 owners, first owner for about 22 years. her second owner bought her last February.

plan so far

Capri Laser Wheels
Capri twin headlights
2.9 Granny lump
Spotlights
2.8 Granny/Capri calipers and discs
