 :oCa'nt believe you mentioned Mk3's. When the Carlton goes (mon) I've got a Merc 200 coming in for some light bodywork, exhaust, should make £7/800 in the spring. Been offered a Scimitar but needs a closer look. The idea is to build up to a mk3 but i'll be keeping it.
   Must be a pre facelift with the sloping dash. I can get welding done & i've still got a void bush puller!!!
    Pics of Merc soon. :y

Mk3 cortinas are brill, i grew up with them, my father had a few of them and they bring back great memories.
