Cortina Mk3 2000E - Ep9. Crash Pad removal, clean-up & paint

Diary of a full stripdown & restoration of a 1976 Ford Cortina 2000E with some handy ‘learning along the way’ how-to clips for novice restorers.

Nice job dude you certainly bought that back from the dead well done looks amazing 👍

Brilliant work, I had no idea the sun could turn the crash pad into chocolate. The paint colour is perfect.

[@retiredtruckersgarage.7606]

nice finish on the pad,well done.

Couple of nice bikes there. Surely they don’t deserve the overspray. 2000e mk3 was my dream car in 1982. I had an xl. Mk 3 was by far the best looking Cortina in my opinion.

Yep, those bikes will be moved before i spray anything. That garage will have to double up as a spray shop for sure!
