I managed to get the door mouldings fitted today. Thanks to Dale Love for the mounting clips. You can’t get them anywhere. also got the rear valance fitted and primed. Needs some fettling but it’s on. Only a few days left now. -

no I didn’t use any sealant on the rubber. I’ll probably regret that decision when it rains 🤣🤣. Less then a week till the yat now. -

As a tribute to my friend Craig Mire Cooke I fitted his badge he made for me to my grill on the moose. Craig was a young very bright member of the Cortina Fanatics. He had started making stainless steel bumpers and other items. In 2018 he made the stainless Ford badges for Cortina day. Sadly we lost him too early. RIP. -

A little up on old Moosey. Thank you Craig for sorting me out with some wiper arms. Top man!! After waiting for the screen man I got fed up so decided to be brave and tackle the front and rear screen myself. Iv'e never done the job before so am very pleased with the result. I have now got the c pillar trims, parcel shelf and rear seat now fitted. Next on my list is that rear valance and the seatbelt mount. I'm looking very much forward to Cortina day for a chill out , laugh and maybe a beer or two. Cheers, Andy. -

Thank you so much for dropping in and replying to my mail. I'm sorry if all of this has some bad memories for you, it must be difficult signing back in after so long. I hope I can do the old girl and you proud, its been a slog to get where it is now but its getting exciting as the Yat is less than 2 weeks away.

I still have loads of jobs to do. Once the glazier has put the screens in , I need to find some wiper arms. Darren Field is sorting me out a dash pad, vent cover among loads of parts so far in the build so a huge thanks to him and Paul. Dale is sorting me out with the moulding clips I need to mount the side mouldings. So I will be fitting all of that, the rest of the interior needs building. One of my tyres keeps going flat so that needs looking at. I need to put anti freeze in the engine, bolt the exhaust up properly and do a full nut and bolt check. The rear valance needs sorting too. There's enough jobs to keep me busy for the next 2 weeks for sure. -

Here are some more pics of the moose after the headlining has been fitted. I have the glass man coming Wednesday to fit the screens. I sprayed the wings myself just to make the car a bit more presentable. Got some sierra Cosworth wheels fitted too. -

I did get in touch with Rob years ago when I got the car first time round. I'm not sure if he is even on here anymore to be honest. -

I thought I would give a little update on old moosey. I am hoping to bring it to this years cortina day at symonds yat. Fingers crossed it will be there. It now runs and drives. Brakes are sorted. Electrics all work. A new headlining is in the post. Ill try to sort some pics from my phone to show progress. I have also been painting some of the panels too. -
Here is the link to the youtube video of the moose driving for the first time since 2007!! . There is still a long way to go but its getting there.

The passion certainly is back. More than ever. This should be a nice car when finished fingers crossed.

Hi all, In a weird twist of fait , I will be purchasing the Moose back. I sold it 2 or so years ago as I had to many projects on at the time. So it will definitely be going back on the road. I have big plans for it this time. Colour change, nice interior and a special engine. I cant wait.
