    Well done on saving a wreck from the scrap yard.
    As for all the people complaining about originality or quality of panel work: really, just lighten up. It’s a fun car for the owner to enjoy, that would otherwise have rusted away to nothing. At no point in the video did they claim to be doing a concours restoration.

      thank you for understanding, yes.. we do everything with the limitations that exist but we try with maximum effort to restore this car.
      this is the worst car we have ever worked on, almost all parts are corroded.
      where are you from?

    Great skills making the panels with the limited tools you have, the car that you took into your workshop would of been uneconomical to repair in most cases and countries. well done yes it's a copy of the original I totally agree and the early cars had alloy panel's and A frame rear suspension maybe you guys could make money making body panel repair sections for many car's ♥️

    Very Very well done on an absolutely fantastic restoration. As you correctly stated in the video that the rear end was wrong why was it different to other mk1 cortinas? Was it a home custom job many years ago? Also I know it's common to work in bare feet in Eastern countries but I can't go bare feet in my house let alone a workshop !!!! All the best wishes on future restorations.

      @@kiatmotor_ i'm ucky enough to have lived in Great Britain all my life. I had a mk1 cortina de-lux (aeroflow type) as my my first car, and my late father had a mk1 estate and then about 1977 my dad bought a used mk3 cortina 2000E. All three cars probably recycled into tin cans many years ago! We live not far from Stratford upon avon and every year there's the cortina national show at the Stratford upon avons racehorse track. Annoyingly we've never been, either because of work or whatever. THIS year my son and I are determined to go there so hopefully we'll make it!

    I think the shell was a 1200cc deluxe Cortina. Quite a lot different to a Lotus Cortina, especially with the suspension strut towers and rear axle locations etc. Normally cleaning and repairing the underbody of the car would be done first, with the paint job being last on the list. Good fun though! 🙏

      all the lotus cortina where two door poverty spec cars plucked off the production line, there was no such body shell as a lotus shell just any one off the line and then sent to lotus where they made the humble ford cortina into the lotus cortina along with a twincam cylinder head on top of a 1500 ford kent engine. So, is there car anything different.....

    Whilst a appreciate the amount of work that has gone in to it. I’m sorry but there is something that doesn’t sit right with me about it. Is it straight? It’s an absolute patchwork of panels some home made that didn’t look particularly well done. Half panels here and there and probabl6 enough bondo to sink a ship. And it’s still not a Lotus with the correct strengthening and mountings.
