I'm not a big Cortina fan, dad had a mk2 then went Capri then Granadas so never really got he vibe. I saw the first video years ago of Bramble pulled from its name and was awesome, now here after the Rover graveyard video. What an amazing job. Last year we restored our Mk2 Golf and for the past 5 years restoring a Lancia. I can't believe the job you did Pete, seen the start and the end, just putting the pieces together now.

Bramble is going to look so good when it's finished. Looking forward to following the rebuild.

Brings back memories of being an apprentice loved working on these old cars

Hi Pete... Well I can honestly say that finding your channel a couple of weeks ago has been a brilliant and inspiring experience, I've gotta fess up and tell you I've watched over 80 hrs of your vids since I found you! I to gave up watching normal tv some years ago and would much rather watch hours of vehicle restorations found on YT. I own two mk5 Cortinas tho apart from putting one through it's mot back in May this year and owning a mk3 crayford HON518L aprox 10 years ago I have not driven any Cortinas as a daily driver since the early nineties tho I owned my first cortina a mk4 2.0ltr ghia auto in gold when I was 15 1989. Watching your channel has helped me decide to ditch our Merc C350 and put my crusader on the road as a daily, once I've put some dinatrol through it as per your vid, also I'm going to document/film my cars and work done to them by opening my own YT channel, if I can get my head round it lol Beautiful cars the mk3, especially all yours. Having done two full resorations at home in the past i know how daunting it can be, seeing swampy with no roof or back end must challenge anyone's will power to get on and get the job done, I applaud your absolute determination and clear love for these cars. I shall be Looking forward to Part 3 of Bramble.... keep up the great work, mind the polishing machine (health n safety) ;) Good luck :) Den

great detailed strip down great work

Not sure how I stumbled across your page but watching this is like a "Timeshift" for me as a Ford Motor Mechanic in the mid 1970's in Australia working on the TC, TD and TE Cortina's, we had the 4cyl versions here but the 6 cylinder models were stonkers to drive.......We didn't get the 2 door model here... Cant wait to watch all these resto videos to see how you go...

I spent a month in Brighton in '84 (ish). I remember seeing those lifted from the back with larger wheels and tyres, I loved them !

Back again to watch a bit more of the video and some of this car has survived really well, Maybe it`s the fact they painted it in the past and it has preserved it.

Nice find.

The saga continues. Some heavy hydraulic lifting along with some intricate trim removal. A little bit of this and that. With each day we are getting a little closer to the finish line. Countless hours but valued parts being salvaged each day. I noticed some specialty tools that you use. One neat one was the spanner wrench extender. I never saw such a thing before for a spanner. Typically I use another spanner for leverage. I am always amazed at what parts are salvaged in almost new condition while at the same time there are parts in that identical area that nis all but destroyed. I noticed that the glove compartment door is pretty big on these cars. I think it could double as a beer cooler if they had the DC cooling technology applied. HAHAHA. I am glad they incorporated the steering wheel safety technology on these cars. It is interesting how you figured out how to keep that safety feature in tact while still stripping everything down. You really got a good downpour of rain that day. It was also a great thundering audio day as well. That T storm really does freshen the air and cool things off I bet. I am really wanting to see episode two now when I get some time. Thanks for sharing once again Pete. All the best and God bless.

I admire you for the job. To fight the rust before it comes, there is one solution : To prevently put some grease every where you can in the hidden parts of the car: inside the door, between carpet and métal, on the rear and hidden side of the bumper... Where you Cannot put some grease you can have oil poored : inside rear wings for example. Grease/oil are the lonely things really efficient again the fucking rust. A good thing to avoid that the rust continues to eat the métal. I have a 1972 Ford taunus and there is nearly no rust on it thanks to that. I am french and i hope that my french is understandable.

It's very interesting to see what parts of the exterior trim were removed when she got her Maize face-life, and quite surprising too. They removed the B-pillar trim which is held in with rivets but didn't remove the side trim below the rear side windows which is just clipped in. Very strange...

Plenty of original parts still in place and plenty of factory Ford blue paint left on the hot parts of the engine strongly suggest that this one hadn't seen all that much work before it went to sleep, and that it was probably well-maintained by someone who knew Fords very well. I'm really looking forward to seeing Bramble come apart and come back together with her having started off life in my neck of the woods...

@gosportjamie

5 жыл бұрын

+Pete C That was definitely early in her life then with it all being Ford genuine parts. Of course it could be due to corrosion caused by the Silver Fox failing and letting the rust bug in and it being quicker to replace the effected panels before it got the Maize Yellow paint job than to spend the time repairing or rubbing back the panels to create a flat base for the new paint. If the car spent a lot of its stationary time parked in a car port with the right-hand side up against a house and the left-hand side open to the elements then the left side could have suffered from rust that the driver's side just didn't get exposed to as the Silver Fox went bad, especially with a lot of the area she was registered in being exposed to sea air...

hahha jetwash was cool move for a hot day Richard. thanks for comment matey!! pete

Awesome stuff just found your channel looking forward to the result . Did you used to work for one of the car magazines back in the day ?

Looks like she could use some Rust-Ez medicated bumper ointment 😆

In Australia the Cortinas were given code letters from your MK3 yours is classified as a TC Cortina . The dual headlamp grille was only used on the Six Cylinder straight six in 200 cubic inch and 250 cubic inch models, besides the dual headlamps ,it is distinguished by a bulge in the bonnet . Unfortunately with the heavy cast iron six in them, they were great in a straight line......atrocious on bends.

Pete C Thanks. Yes it is a 250 SSR "version" of Znen Roar, and it started out as basically a cheap lower grade Chinese scooter. But from the ground- up I "Rubyed" it, I put in things like Japanese ceramic bearings, Pirelli tires, Honda valves, and redid the frame with 9 coats of automotive black paint.

Does anyone else see something walk along the N/S sill towards to boot around the 37.16 mark when Pete moves from the boot to the inside. Check it out and let me know if I should book into the nuthouse.

Don't bother. I see it's the cat on the outside walking pass the rust holes.

I’m soooo looking forward to this restoration Pete... A two door GXL in silver fox WOWWW When are you dipping and when’s the next episode going to be downloaded? I’m surprised it’s as solid as it is considering it’s been outside for so many years

Fab video Pete, she's pretty solid considering, loving the silver fox. Will you be considering air conditioning this time? If anyone can do it it's you
