Total Repaint & Full Restoration Ford Lotus Cortina MK1 in 20 Minutes

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- a very rare car, the collaboration between Ford UK and Lotus gave birth to a homologated car to meet the requirements for participating in the race.
maybe this is the only ford lotus cortina restoration that is documented in Indonesia and is on youtube, because this car in the world is very rare and has very little demand. Even if you search on RUclips, only a few videos of the Ford Lotus Cortina restoration process will come out.
The original Ford Lotus Cortina MK1 only produced approximately 3,000 units with 1 color model, namely a combination of Ermine White and Sherwood Green.
this car came in a very pathetic condition and should not be suitable for use because most of the body is rusty and not original. It took us approximately 1 year to restore this car, even though we usually restore the car in only 4 months.

As another commenter said it was a 1200 cortina body shell. Not a Lotus Cortina.
Well done on saving a wreck from the scrap yard.
As for all the people complaining about originality or quality of panel work: really, just lighten up. It’s a fun car for the owner to enjoy, that would otherwise have rusted away to nothing. At no point in the video did they claim to be doing a concours restoration.
Great skills making the panels with the limited tools you have, the car that you took into your workshop would of been uneconomical to repair in most cases and countries. well done yes it's a copy of the original I totally agree and the early cars had alloy panel's and A frame rear suspension maybe you guys could make money making body panel repair sections for many car's ♥️
thank you, but if you can vote we also want to be appreciated like abroad LOL
This is not a Lotus Cortina! It is a remarkable botch, but what lies beneath the paint finish is what nightmares are made of, filler, poor welding and a very rusty original shell , what’s left of it!! You’ve got to admire their panel fabrication skill though and all done in bare feet, what would HAS have to say😂
It's good to see that they are following health and safety guidelines by wearing special safety flip flops.
I think that is all that is available over there. They also wear them when riding their motorcycles!
Sometimes they don’t even use flip flops.just bare feet!
That may be a two-door Ford cortina painted white with a green strip down the side, but it is NOT a Mk1 Lotus Cortina Cortina
that's right, in the subtitles I explained that this is a ford cortina deluxe
where are you from? You must be a petrolhead because few people know the Ford Lotus Cortina
I seem to think the mk1 lotus cortina has light alloy panels and radically different suspension, quite different from a regular production line job, I'm open to correction, my dad had a mk2 in 69.
@@monteceitomoocher - and bonnet with “A” frame rear axle.
@@monteceitomoocher that's right, because Cortina MK1 is perfected by Lotus for the purposes of racing homologation so the body will be lightened
Plus lotus had 2000E gearbox
This is amazing workmanship!
thank you dude, where you from?
Are you blind?
salut...bengkel di Klaten Jawa Tengah berkelas dunia.
pekerjaannya sangat detail dan rapih.
salam hangat.
Matursuwun, salam hangat kembali 🙂
I wonder how many Kgs of polyester body filler were used to hide all the pretty average panel work .?
There is now way that’s a mark 1 lotus cortina it looks like a base model 1200 I would not like to be in a head on crash it would fold up like a concertina
Ce nest meme pas une ford Cortina lotus 😢 Temps de travail pour rien cest bien triste!!!!amicalement ford 1974 ....
Whilst a appreciate the amount of work that has gone in to it. I’m sorry but there is something that doesn’t sit right with me about it. Is it straight? It’s an absolute patchwork of panels some home made that didn’t look particularly well done. Half panels here and there and probabl6 enough bondo to sink a ship. And it’s still not a Lotus with the correct strengthening and mountings.
yes this is straight, we only replace the porous parts so many of the parts we restore are only half
Great results!
alloy bonnet boot lid and door skins ! real lotus ! what year = the rear end mounting system is differant ! = looks like a 240 model !
That's a fantastic job 👏 👏👏👏👌..you have done very well....🏴
Thank you! 😃
Are Retropower looking for staff? 😂
Well with limited tools and technology what a fantastic turn round
In Indonesia, we are a large workshop and have capable tools compared to other workshops in Indonesia, but we are still very far behind the garage in the United States. LOL
This is not a MK1 Lotus Cortina. It is an ordinary MK1 Ford Cortina.
true, cortina deluxe exactly
Well done guys looks stunning
thank you sir, where you from?
Ughhhh! What an awful waste of time and money! Anyone capable of sight can see it is just a mishmash covered in clear coat. Which the original never had!!
If it had been sandblasted or acid dipped ,there would have been no car left to repair. Have to admire the appetite for work.
Considering the methods used that is an outstanding result
thank you sir, we still use the old method with wet sanding and simple metal shaping tools. .. where you from?
I think the shell was a 1200cc deluxe Cortina. Quite a lot different to a Lotus Cortina, especially with the suspension strut towers and rear axle locations etc. Normally cleaning and repairing the underbody of the car would be done first, with the paint job being last on the list. Good fun though! 🙏
that's right, this is cortina deluxe and you have provided a description in the cc video, you can see it from the dashboard which is very different from lotus cortina. thanks for watching, where are you from?
all the lotus cortina where two door poverty spec cars plucked off the production line, there was no such body shell as a lotus shell just any one off the line and then sent to lotus where they made the humble ford cortina into the lotus cortina along with a twincam cylinder head on top of a 1500 ford kent engine. So, is there car anything different.....
@@littlejohnwayne yes although you are correct about the basic model shell, these were then totally stripped and strengthened throughout by Lotus to give it far greater strength and rigidity, particularly around suspension mounts, engine mounts, rear axle, brakes, (discs) were unique to the Lotus version, as was the lotus twin cam engine.
What on earth's going on with the rear lights?
@@markdavies5115 thats how they are, since there is only two bulb holders in the light units although one lamp holder is for the tail lights and brake lights so it only has a cut-out for the two bulb holders behind, in the boot. Where the reflector is there is no bulb so no pertrusion into the boot space.
Pre airflow with an airflow grille a right mush mash defiantly not a Lotus
this is not a lotus, we already wrote in the subtitles
where are you from?
You’ve descripted it as a LOTUS !!!!
Bogers
Tienen video de ford cortina pick up año 82 .... si lo presentsn se lo agradecere...
What a skill it’s a shame that body work is not teached like this top banana
It looks like a GT body, no diff bulge in the boot. Not a lotus cortina.
True, this is GT model ora maybe deluxe model, the dashboard is not lotus cortina model
They flash up text in the first 30 seconds saying it's a Ford Consul Delux
@@a1topdog yes sir
Wow hopefully my dad's car will be like this he is on the fence of sellin it because we have financial issues but IM PULLING HIM BACK!!!
It looks like your country is experiencing financial issues, we too in Indonesia are experiencing a decline in turnover in every line of business. I hope everything will get better soon
Should have cleaned the underneath first. Surely.
Still have an Original 1965 mk I lotus Cortina garaged in an original 1965 House. Rog.
sure? OMG !!!! it is a treasure
Good job om 👍
thank you om
Agree Brian. Not a lotus. I know what to look for after seeing a genuine lotus on another video.
that's right, this is not the original lotus but this is the ford consul cortina deluxe and I explained it in the subtitles at the beginning of the video
Lotus Cortina Mk 1 I believe had an Aluminium bonnet?
this is not the original ford lotus cortina, we have written it in the initial subtitle of the video
where are you from? is there a ford lotus cortina there?
Awesome
Thank you dude
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Soy de peru lima y me ofrecen ford cortina pick up. Año 82 pero

Bengkel mbl d Negara Indonesia d daerah mana Bos ?

Very Very well done on an absolutely fantastic restoration. As you correctly stated in the video that the rear end was wrong why was it different to other mk1 cortinas? Was it a home custom job many years ago? Also I know it's common to work in bare feet in Eastern countries but I can't go bare feet in my house let alone a workshop !!!! All the best wishes on future restorations.
thanks for watching the results of the restoration of our simple workshop,
that's right, maybe it's the fault of the previous restoration because this car is very rare here, where are you from? are there many ford cortinas there?
@@kiatmotor_ i'm ucky enough to have lived in Great Britain all my life. I had a mk1 cortina de-lux (aeroflow type) as my my first car, and my late father had a mk1 estate and then about 1977 my dad bought a used mk3 cortina 2000E. All three cars probably recycled into tin cans many years ago! We live not far from Stratford upon avon and every year there's the cortina national show at the Stratford upon avons racehorse track. Annoyingly we've never been, either because of work or whatever. THIS year my son and I are determined to go there so hopefully we'll make it! Sadly I can't afford a classic car at present but one day............?
@@michaeledwards427 wow, it turns out that your family is a Cortina fan, it's always interesting to hear stories from other parts of the world about automotive. This is what we always wait for in every video we upload, to hear stories from the audience. I hope you and your children can come to the National Cortina event
Minta alamat lengkap bengkel Bos ?
Kita di klaten, jawa tengah bos,.. google maps aja kita ada di pinggir jl utama solo jogja
No shoes at work policy
In Indonesia, it is very rare for workshops whose employees use safety shoes, because here the air is very hot.. where do you come from?
How much does it cost for restoration this Cortina?
around $6500
To the standard of this vehicle it’s got be at least 50 Quid. If not a bit more that includes a new pair of flip flops 😂
كم يكلف هذا العمل من المال ؟ أنا لدي سياره قديمه لاكن انا بعيد جدا عن اندونيسا أنا من مكه عمل رائع ❤️
مرحباً أخي ، أفتقد الكعبة حقًا. آمل أن تتمكن من الذهاب إلى مكة مرة أخرى
تعتمد تكاليف الترميم حقًا على حالة السيارة ، حيث يبدأ متوسط التكلفة المطلوبة من 100 مليون روبية للجسم فقط
@@kiatmotor_ ان شاءلله تتمكن من الذهاب الي مكه في وقت قريب 💛
امين شكرا اخي
A work of Art
Thank you sir, where you from?
Canada. My Dad had a 1964 Mk 1 Cortina in Goodwood Green back in the UK. As an 8 year old car-crazy kid I knew what every (visible) inch of that car and your attention to detail on the curves with basic, mostly hand tools was a treat to watch. Thank you!
No safety whatsoever using tools!
Cleaning the underneath after it’s been repainted 😂😂
No PPE so you will be lucky to seethe finished product.Dash and gear lever look suspect.What is model number on vin plate .S be 125E
as we explained in the initial video this is a ford cortina deluxe not a genuine ford lotus cortina because it's a very rare car
where are you from? is there a ford lotus cortina there?
