He lives just a couple of minutes away from me, someone I know asked him what he was going to do with it and he told him he was going to scrap it but that was about 3 years ago and it's still there. It desperately needs saving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The car is in the car park of the Jolly Fisherman pub in Greatstone, about 30 minutes from junction 10 of the M20, I think he is on the Cortina owner’s forum. 34 minutes ago, John Mack said: Stunning looking car, well done .

Steve Walton 128 Posted December 30, 2019 If you look on Google Maps Street View you can see JOG on the back of a recovery truck. Has Dave.Com already there ??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not on the truck anymore he must have sold it, someone stole both the truck and JOG a few years ago but they were both found and returned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope someone manages to get it bought and save it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 87 Posted December 31, 2019 JOG belongs to a guy called John. He is a member on here but not been active for a while. Was bought off Jim (littlenewt on here), also not active for a while but both active on Facebook. John is a car painter by trade and does want to restore it but unfortunately has nowhere better to store it until it gets it's turn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M5Greg 83 Posted February 15, 2020 Just a small update, I've managed to find some material to repair the sun damaged and torn back seat from a company in Germany. I got a local trim company to sew it all together and I'm really pleased with the colour match and look of the material. I managed to get the back seat back in the car today, so as far as restoration goes I think the car is done. Normal Cortina problems so far have been failed starter motor and split propshaft Guibo joint, the starter I had a spare and the joint I got a new one from Burtons. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not NOS but very close to the original material, I spent some time on fabric supply companies websites sending off for samples until I found this stuff from a company in Germany. It was around £17 a metre plus a quite expensive £35 postage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, the stereo is a Pioneer KEX73 with a GM4 amp, I have got some bigger amps and a graphic equaliser but as I only have the front speakers its not worth fitting it and tapes just don't sound that great these days. Its what I had fitted to my first Cortina, I had to fit a new drive belt but surprisingly it was available on eBay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
