Thought i should make a thread on my current projekt a 76 mk3 Cortina 1,6 GL Estate.
Its imported from UK in 79 and then converted to LHD it was taken off road in 2003 i bought the car Des 2012.
i just let the pictures tell the progress so far

Those wheels should be fine what size are they?

 

6,5x 15" have seen them on different Taunus mk1 and cortinas before .. but not sure if would want cortina mk4 Ghia rims, bbs or something else..i will look into that when its painted



More work done.
