Merry Christmas to all on BSC

Looking good!

Big project! Top job bringing it back.

Let us know the outcome.

I’d check your shocks too - they have their own bushes that can wear and cause knocking
-
We had a car that did similar - double check the top bolts on the rear shocks are fully tightened.

Loads of info! I’m not surprised - Clive was the sort of guy to keep documentation. From memory there was a small repair on the o/s rear panel Clive did with a rattle can.

Nice car! If you’ve not got it, Grab a copy of feb 2010 Retroford for an 8 page article on the car. Clive Dixon used to own it for many years - I have a photo of my cortina with it that I’m currently unable to load up.

Still looking stunning, John.

Yes still got the Huntsman. I work for a couple that run a garden nursery business open to the public. I do the deliveries and much of the physical stuff behind the scenes.

Thanks Dean. I’m really pleased how paint etc has stood up. A good wax will quickly bring it back to where I want it.

Hi John Hope you’re well? Yes, standard 185 tyres - existing are dated 2009 and one has dry rot. It’ll be top off carb and clean jets - certain there’s a bit of varnish build up in there.

It’s been ages since I’ve had time to even think about my LS. I left Openreach after 35 years, got myself a physically demanding but stress free job, had a new knee and been looking after two ailing parents. Sadly we lost Dad in January this year. Anyhow today I took time out to fit a new battery and bring the old girl home for a wash and a quick tinkering. Need to order some new tyres, adjust front wheel bearings and go through the carb next time out. Good news is I still have the Cortina mojo 😀 Here’s a few of the old girl taken today because we all love a few Cortina snaps!

Top work. It all takes time.

Happy Christmas to you Craig and all on BSC.

Great to see progress however small! Well done you. I burnt out with my previous employer and now enjoy a very different and happy lifestyle albeit I have less free time. Sanity first.
