So,nice sunny day to day up here (probably our summer!) so got DD out to get washed and polished. Took her out for a nice long run today and as always drove perfect. Came home and pulled into the drive, got out and noticed a VW stopped outside the drive. Guy shouts me over, then asks "is it for sale mate??" I've obviously said no, and he tells me he spotted DD last year getting all waxed and polished (must have been the civic5 meet) and has been wanting one for a while now. His mate had a vti deck, but swapped it for an Accord typeR which he says was the worst thing he ever done! So the guys gonna have a look on here at all the sweet M's, hoping to maybe find one for sale. So today on her wee run DD has had; 2 waves 1 flash of the lights followed with a thumbs up countless stares 1 person wanting to buy her!!! lol Don't even remember getting this much attention with my restored MK3 Cortina GXL! She's a popular girl indeed! I love this car!!!!!

Nice

That looks amazeballs mate, can't wait to see this come together. Gonna be sweet!

The only issue that seems to reoccure is the rear different, but the new duel pump 2 fluid appears to cure it. As for mpg, they seem to be about 30mpg, which is about what I get outta the deck. So not fussed on that front. And it comes with a table as well!

Thanks for all the comments. I wanted to get a set of bonnet dampers/lifters but all the sets I looked at restricted the height, only allowing the bonnet to open to the half way point. so I fabricated a bracket from steel and used a aerodeck tailgate damper and got it all installed.

Yum... Lose the matt finish and that would be peachy. Looks like it could do with some more rear spoiler action going on though. Would be a nice dilemma to have... Tourer or coupe.

Here just noticed. Ita 2-1 to the hatches. Is this a sign of change lol

I've also had problems with Photobucket in the past too. Looks like it's time to ditch it now as uploading directly from here is so much easier.
