Onslow78 37 Posted December 21, 2016 Your welcome. The only welding I can see tonne done is the passenger seatbelt mount and I'm told the rear of the drivers outer sill. Very clean indeed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Scarlet 96 Posted December 21, 2016 What an unusual thing to have as a raffle prize, (bear in mind i am a complete stranger to fb) It looks a good shell,so well done getting it,and saving it too My neighbour (who knows nothing about the appreciation of old cars) would say " thats like winning the lottery but all the paper sheets are blank" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nogE 91 Posted December 21, 2016 great.....another saved.... :thumbup: :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Onslow78 37 Posted December 21, 2016 I wouldn't have entered the raffle if I didn't already own two Cortinas. I can rob parts off my Gold mk5 for this one because the shell is so much better. I was part way through putting a 1.8 zetec engine in my Gold mk5. Once I have collected the moose and given it a good look over I shall start swapping bits over. I shall get some friends round one weekend to help swap parts over . This is gonna be great fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There have been quite a few raffles on facebook recently mainly on the banger racer pages. I can see why people do them . Quite often a car wont sell so you sell 59 tickets for a raffle instead . That way you still make your money and someone has the car at the end of it all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Onslow78 37 Posted December 28, 2016 Well I have been sorting over the last couple of days . I now have room for the old girl. I'm starting to get excited now . Heading over to Northampton first thing in the morning. I will make sure I get loads of pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Onslow78 37 Posted December 31, 2016 Just a quick note to say yes I have changed my username from andyclayton30 to onslow78. Its a bit less of a mouthful. I will upload my pictures from collecting the moose soon and will be cracking on with hoovering it out and getting one with it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Onslow78 37 Posted January 2, 2019 I just thought I'd update the thread. It's hard to believe that it has been over 2 years since I picked up the moose. I haven't done masses with it but I have sourced a few parts. I have a complete interior, a few wiring looms. The engine brakes and master cylinder have been done and I got the rotten bit of sill welded. Maybe with some help I can get the old girl on the road this year. Who knows hey?

Onslow78 37 Posted January 2, 2019 Just maybe. If not the MK3 will be coming along. I have a good crowd of friends who have offered to come over and help go through parts, figure out wiring etc. Once the wiring is in and the glass is in it will be easy for me to finish off.
