Here is a photo of the Cortina alongside my 68 Mustang GT390 Fastback, I have some images of how I found here out in the Desert area of Palmdale, I will upload them for you. The car is rot free but has some surface rust in places from being sandblasted out in the Desert, all rubber seals and interior trim is toasted, but I found some great trim parts in the UK especially a pristine Dash top.

Being a Brit living in California, I can't resist a good old rust free Cortina or Capri, the Mustang was one of my all time got to have cars. I am planning on retoring the Cortina as a Vintage Rally car, the Mk1 Capri possibly a Duratec 23 and T5 set up and the 76 Black Capri is being updated to Euro 2.8 Special spec.
