As titled I have found a 1973 2 door in orange with 50k on the clock, the car was driven up until 88 at which point it was parked and forgotten inside a dry barn. The previous owner had already swapped the 1300 to a 1600 x-flow, painted it orange and done a load of other changes.
I've had the car a few months and just decided to start a build thread so my works already started.
I'm 21 and this is going to be my first car restoration with help from my dad and we are hoping to have the car done in around 8 months from start to end.
We started with completely gutting the car as the wiring was completely shot, engine was seized and rust was everywhere, luckily for me there is a buyer for everything so sold the engine and 2000e box with no problem.
Then I was told that the rear wheels on the car were lotus cortina wheels and I had the other 2 in the boot with all 4 centre caps, so this was another quick sell for money to put back into the car.
A few weeks have passed now and we have replaced all the floor and chassis rails where they had rusted and just turning our attention to the spare wheel and petrol tank areas.
Pictures will be updated when I figure it out haha
