Green to get rid of the metalflake white
which I thought wouldn’t be popular,
changed the wheels for a staggered set
of Compomotive CXs and ironed out a
few gremlins. With its GT-spec
Crossflow it drives really well but given
the number of Cortinas I have it does
have to be sold. So it’s now ready to
move on while I get busy fixing the
genuine panels onto my woody, which is
inspiring a bit of a refresh. More of that
in a later instalment.

Trial-fitting the new ‘wood’ prior

to wrapping. Roof has already

been resprayed Spruce Green.

Replica wood was wrapped by a local

company to look like the real ‘fake’ thing...

Gavin’s added a few touches to the

Deluxe including Compomotive CXs.

Removing the real Di-Noc wood from the

converted Deluxe revealed Ford part numbers.
