  Do any of you nearby familiar with such cars you could view on my behalf? The dropping passenger door needs further investigation but panels are still available or can be made up.
    I can return your fuel costs. Guy.

I served my apprentiship working on those motors,  and owned an orange one!! We really loved those old Fords, the Capri was awesome, I had a Daytona yellow 1600.

The hinge pin is an easy fix and a common fault, wings are bolted on. Shame about the wheels though.

I notice the mirror is missing on the door, which is strange because it should be on the wing!

Might be best to let this one go. I imagine the door drop is a welding job & as said not easy to get to. (Mini a panel) & given the distance & the fact it's a facelift mk3 with the Mk4 dash not the slopey job i'll give it a swerve. If it was nearer i'd be tempted to venture further.
   By the way the facelift Mk3's like this one could have been fitted with door as appose to wing mirrors. Thanks for your responses, Cortina Sadcase!!!!! ::)

Love & hate this prog. They took a 2000E & put a GXL grille & twin headlamps on it, ragged it to death & pushed the prices sky high in the process. Idiots. ::)
