Nice work Blacky.
Does your Cortina rack require and mods to the steering arms in relation to the tapered areas of the tie rods ?

Good stuff mate. Hopefully the sandblast doesn’t expose any nasties in the sub frame.

That quarter was well and truly buggered, had been put into a pole sideways and flogged back out with a sledge hammer and a piece of timber , had to repair the inner wheel arch so I just cut a good quarter off a wreck to replace it
