we have finally taken the wings off , i was resisting , trying to clean behind them without removing them but i have relented now , after much hassle from the mitchell brothers simon and mike , we where going to replace the wings with new , but after taking them off i realise that they are not bad at all. like the rest of the car they are in great condition with no rust, the only damage is on the top lip that will need some slight repairs . Anyway at least i can get behind the wings and clean out the years of dirt , still no rust just about 4" of waxoil and mud , Just look how clean the inner wings are , after much cleaning we have found the original silver fox painwork . looked on ebay for new wings nothing cheaper than £150 for second hand ...wow, definately keeping these ones they look better every time i look at them
Just been reading your build blogs very interesting great pictures too . got to admire what you are doing bringing a cortina back to life .How long do you think it will take you to complete and how hard is it to work on the car and keep a full time job as well . very impressed it has made me think about something on the same lines . by the way i think the spit is fantastic must have taken alot of work but worth it i presume. keep it up love the site . ed c .
