Hello Conrad. Can you help me obtain a pair of door striker plates for a Mk1 2 door? I hope I am using the right words! Thanks for your help, regards, John

Thanks for that Matt and for your input over the last few weeks. My Ford collection is looking really good at the moment and this was the last model I wanted to remember my dad. I,ll post some pictures for you when everything is together, cheers, John

Good evening everyone. As a newbie, i,ve enjoyed being in the forums with fellow members. Good news for you all, and me of course!!! is that I have got my self a new car to play with thanks to you guys. A Mk2 Estate, a true survivor car, in fantastic original condition. I will post some pictures when I get it but may be a few weeks. A couple of things you may be able to help me with. I would like a pair of usable door striker plates for a Mk1 2 door and if anyone has a 1600E centre console and dash top with the clocks in, I would like to buy them. Keep enjoying your Cortinas, cheers, John

Thanks for your link Matt. I,ve taken a look and Jason has some interesting cars for sale. i will contact him and see if he can find a car for me. All the best, John

Hello everyone. Thank you for your fantastic efforts and advice regarding a Cortina for me. As a new member I am impressed that you are taking the time to help me on my way.

I was thinking up to £2,500 for something that floats my boat as an unfinished kind of thing, do you think that will be enough? Could possibly go a touch more. Thanks you for the reply, very kind of you. I,m based in West Lancashire near Preston but I,m happy to travel anywhere for a car. Look forward to hearing from you again and have a great weekend. Cheers, John

Hello everyone from a new member. I am looking for a Mk2,standard, unfinished or modified project. I want to recreate my early 70,s fun I had with my dads Cortina (FFF 813E). Any model considered including estate and not bothered if it is LHD. I have a lot of parts saved from my dads car including a superb 1650 pre x/flow GT engine to build into another Cortina. Has someone you know got a car that,s expired, needs finishing off or has only just got started and needs a good home? I would prefere to buy a car that has an interior, glass, wiring and 4 wheels with not too much bodywork to deal with but don,t mind one that needs painting. Thanks for reading this and I look forward to hearing from a fellow member with some good news for me.
