Default AutoArt Lotus Cortina

Never really wanted to do anything to it, but one day it had a nasty accident involving a cat and rolling off the table

So as it had a pretty nasty chip near the boot, and a broken light, I thought i'd save up for a new one, and do something with this.

First idea was to lower it and give it a meaner stance. The only wheels I have a full set of are the New Mini rims, which don't look that bad, they're basically restyled minilites anyway :P





I filled in the front bumper/plate holes and lotus badge holes. It's currently undergoing a full respray to metallic black, but the paint reacted with the green stripe even under the primer! So it's a nitromors bath for this one, then continuing from there. Was thinking of putting a YB in there too, and putting the twin cam in a morris minor :P

Any thoughts/ideas?
