btboy 50 Posted February 5, 2010 Steve- that's in better condition than my MK2 Super was when I started rebuilding it over 20 years ago. Looks like agood base to start from. Oh and if not red, anchor blue (as LHD 16E on here) is better than aubergine...IMO :winner: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cortina mungo 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Keep going, your doing a grand job. I did all that several years ago to my 1600 super that is Lagoon Blue, and its well worth it. The series 2 red that GO refers to is BN Red and looks very good and there are not that many red 1600 E's around. Fern Green also looks very good on series 2 1600E's. But these are the ramblings of a Cortina nut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
