Cortina Cortina Cortina

So after working on the tina for the past few weekends, I got the motor fired up with the help of my grandpa. She sounds healthy, but with tons of blow-by, the rings may be on it's last legs. Now I can't decide on what motor to go on next. It's either the 302 sitting at Johns place, a Ford Zetec, or a 4AG. But just as the motor started, went to the rear to readjust the brake shoes, only to have one of the liners fall off. So my test drve of the tina will have to wait another week or so.

Body wise, i've found more and more rust, nothing that's too major, but a pain in the ass to repair. The two pics are from class, got the bonnet straightened out, had to use some filler as the whole middle section was too much of a mess. As long as I keep it as a skim coat, I think all should be fine. Second pic is of the boot lid, was picking at a corner and that's what I exposed! I guess next class I'm gonna cut the rot out and make a new patch panel for that corner.

Gotta remember to buy me some weld thru primer.
