  • My Cortina used to be an everyday car, out in all weathers. As you will see in the photos I think we saved her just in time. We have the technology to rebuild her!

    Thank you for doing your bit to rescue one of these beauties, As a child and through my teens, in to my early 20's, we had a few 2.0E's, but the one that your building is identical to the one we had for almost 25 years. ours was LFH 911P

    What I absolutely love about these kinds of cars, is what confronts you under the hood. The simplicity, and roominess is simply wonderful to behold. It almost makes you want to get your old spanners out and do some tinkering. I had a P reg one of those for two years, however those seat covers are disgusting. Although typical of the era, they bring back memories, but not welcome ones.

    A lovely looking car especially in the red. My father had a purple velvet one and it was a gorgeous car. This job has kept her going for you to enjoy and a lot of major areas have been seen to. This is what old classic cars are about but that's the cost of having something nice and different these days. You can always go back to it at a later date to make improvements as the pennies allow!

    Thanks for the video as it has answered a question of mine. My MK 3 is an Australia assembled 4.1 cc. It as a lot of Ford Falcon stuff in it. I have been after some seat belts for it and was lead to believe that the seat belts in mine were Ford Falcon XB ,XC . XD ones but looking at your car the seat belt are the same as the ones in mine. Thanks again. Steve from New Zealand. Enjoy it.....

      @vernonmatthews181 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Steve, you posted your comment 3y ago, incidentally I live in New Zealand 🇳🇿 also, & couldn't pass the opportunity to comment.
      Your aussie mk3, was called the TC, yes the 4100cc ( 250ci ) was from the Falcon of old there was also a smaller sibling of 3300cc ( 200ci ), I knew a woman in the early 80's in south auckland whom had an aussie assembled transit rwd that also featured 4100cc falcon engine from the factory 🏭
      Naomi's was set up as a camper van.
      In aussie, they used them for rural delivery post 📫 in the outback.
      Don't know how many are still out there quite rare in NZ.
      The Falcon car, ute ( bakkie ) & panelvan still pops up occasionally.
      You mentioned something about period seat 💺 belts about your Ford.
      Not sure about Ford ( Australia ) did for seatbelts.
      I spent seven years after the stockmarket crash of 87 driving taxi's as a substitute vocation as many of us did around the 90's.
      Autoliv part of Electrolux group made aftermarket seatbelts for installers for jap import car compliance based in Auckland.
      I haven't lived in Auckland for nearly sixteen years now.
      I did some of my own seat belt reinstallation as part of the taxi job, much to the disgust of the installers.
      I sometimes wrecked cars at the breakers for seat belts too, taxi patrons are hard on seat belts & seats.
      Take care, & Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤

    Hi BigJon007, I have been looking forward to seeing the restoration slideshow of your beautiful looking 2000E, and it was very interesting, She had a lot of rust in the same places mine had, but I think mine was worse overall, as I have replaced more panels in my videos, still you had a lot of work, and the end result is your "E" looks truly gorgeous, a very enjoyable video, and it gets a like from me, In the past lots of cars with less rust than yours have been scrapped, so it is great to see your efforts, and that you saved her, a big transformation from start to finish, well done. there is still a lot to do on my one!!.

    • @bigjon0072
      @bigjon0072  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sorry it took me so long to do, I was trying to find some decent free software to make a slideshow, then found out I could do it through my picture viewer in windows. I once bought a MK3 Cortina many years ago for £100 but stupidly listened to a friend and ended up stripping it down and scrapping it! What a mistake to make! :( If I only knew then.

    What a great candidate for restoration, the tricky part around the front & rear windscreens as glass is what governs the final shape.
    You are a seasoned professional 👏 which shows, so glad you took on the vinyl roof yourself.
    Thanks for sharing loved the music 🎶 haven't quite seen the balance of the whole video.

    Beautyful car. To fight the rust efficiently you can use grease and oil prevently. Grease Wen you cab reach the place (inside Door, between carpet and metal ...) and oil when you cannot (get it poored in the rear wings... )

      @@andrewscott1253 to be fair to BigJon007, not everyone has the funds to do a full super high quality restoration, like Pete C or my one on my channel, We both have spent thousands on ours!!, and I have gone for a filler free build, as I agree it never lasts long term, like lead loading will, for example, It;s designed for very minor skim work on sound metal really, the end result of this 2000E looks lovely, and has saved the car, at least for some more years, I have 3 more cars in my collection waiting to be done after the current Mk.3, funding them will be the hardest part!!!!.

      Tom I agree all cars made back then had less anti rust protection from factory, not only the Fords, our Mk.3. lasted 7 years from new, then holes started to show on sills, bubbles on arches so these got restored, but most owners did not look after the cars, so rust took hold, the ones that still survive had careful owners, had mine over 44 years now. being fully restored on my channel, and soon to be back from paint.
