grifterkid 1 Posted May 12, 2014 This has to be one of the best restorations of the century (so far!) as the time and the work and the sublime attention to detail that has gone into it is just beyond description!!!!!! To think how this Cortina first looked when you rescued it compared to how it is now is just pure, mind boggling, genius! I really cannot 'blow your trumpet' enough... I cannot wait to see the next project!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
