She's coming on nicely Pete.

That is coming on nicely. I have sat inside that car at the NEC, it be more cozy next time. Great to see the update.

This channel brings back a lot of good memories. Grew up in Germany, now calling Brisbane, Australia home and my first car was a 1974 1.6l Taunus. In case you don't know, in Germany the Cortina's were called Taunus for some reason. Loved the simplicity of these cars and ended up having 3 of them in the 80's. Found a bunch of other guys who also had Taunus cars and we ended up forming an unofficial Taunus club probably about 10 cars strong at the height of it. Meet just about every weekend, honing, burn outs etc etc. There were good times and I love seeing that car again through you channel...thanks for that...oh SUBBED of course

In other videos, you will hear Pete refer to the Cortina MkIII as the "TC", standing for "Taunus Cortina", reflecting Ford's decision to have common meduim-size car body in Europe/UK from 1970. Prior to that, the Taunus (Germany) and Cortina (UK) had been independently designed.

Yay! Project Kilo Papa making good progress... 👍

Oh yeah!

Bought back memories of my '72 Yellow GXL KMC393K, which my brother wrote-off out in Belgium sometime around '85/'86 😢

Thanks Pete! You make the love of MkIIIs contagious.

KP makes me think about the KP peanuts on a card in the pub. I seem to remember an interesting photo being revealed as the bags were removed.

Brilliant work ive really missed your videos...

More to come!

I once owned two bicycles with consecutive frame numbers - bought separately from opposite ends of the country. 😯

Im needing a Pete C video to give me the Inspiration to work on my '74,4 door 1600L and '72, 2 door 2litre GT.

Rubber glove and elastic band over the alarm sensor 🤘😎🤘

was just thinking yes please cover that nice seat lol ....

Been a few decades since I did any probability calculations but the probability of getting "921" and "922" on any two plates works out as 1 in 998001.

ceejay thanks for this, wow

Hi Pete once again another great video

Like the name and your surname. KP my initials, so if had a reg. it would have to be KPH and Crompton, my other love, class 33 BR Crompton locos.

The videos showing you grafting to get the cars back on the road are Brilliant, but the ones showing you enjoying them are just as entertaining and uplifting 🤘😎🤘

Nice work Pete it’s really starting to come together now , that bench seat is beautiful what a great piece 👌 I’m looking for an automatic mk3 in decent shape myself if anyone’s reading this 🙏

All your MK3's remind me of my 2.0 GXL I had for a while back in 1982. Evergreen with black vinyl roof and black cloth trim which I think was an optional extra. Loved that old car but a rust free bright red Lancia Beta coupe tempted me away from it. Wish I still had both of them but will have to settle for my 3 Capris!

No brainer Pete, it has to be Kappa!!

Hello Pete

Great video as always Pete I was just wondering if you could braize with tig instead of oxy acetylene if you could would it not give less heat distortion less fire risk might be no good for you just a thought

Gotta change out the led lighting in the garage,the flickering is terrible

Call it peanut brown or Charlie Brown

Bad strobing from the LED's. Pete.
