Absolutely loving this thread,love seeing what most people would think unsavable be resurrected and in such a top notch way 
Your guy Colin is doing an amazing job on all that welding. Would love to have his skills or such a good friend. I take it with how quick this is coming together he's working on it full time and not like your average rebuild an hour here and there?
Like I said. Brilliant work

Ive been a panel beater sprayer for over 30 years and can honestly say hes the best and fastest fabricator welder I have seen.He could of had this done a lot quicker but we had to wait for a few panels to turn up and I had to find a nearside door that I didn't have to sell my internal organs for haha.

Will work on it between other jobs.
Can't wait to see this coming together. Looks well solid and on its way to being a new car stable mate for the lotus

Wahay!! I've lost my Virginity!!
Corrosion control
Loving the build up and restoration, I see you can deal with finishing and corrosion protection of the outside of the body work, but how do you deal with the un seen inner panels to stop future rust coming from within? Many years ago in my youth I used Wax oil which was very messy and dripped out on hot days.

This is so inspiring. What a transformation.
Makes me really want to get the finger out for my mk2 cortina.
Off out to the garage now lol

superb job on the welding mate. One question, how do you take care of the rust that has formed over the course of doing the welding, will you be acid dipping the shell? or lightly sand blasting it again?

Pretty much as you see it there.
Engine is bored to 1760 pre crossflow
Gearbox 2000e rebuilt
Interior re-done in red leather
I have 95% of the parts to finish
Need to find time and cash to finish
but other peoples jobs come 1st to pay for it
