I am happy to listen to you have a rant and ramble on as you put it , like many of us with old cars they can be long term projects with many other things in life taking both time and money. The important thing is to not give up and do what you can when time and finances allow.
Don’t worry…. You are prioritising doing a good job that’s all, only thing with doing the whole legs is all the millions of spot welds and getting aligned etc… I’d personally give a lot of thought to making up sections , whilst saving, so you’re not loosing time, but it’ll all come out in the wash…😊
You got do what you got to do. I have to do this many times wait until i had the money. Its unfortunate but sometimes it is the way of thing's. Paying for workshops are not always an option cost is a big factor. As you know where I live the weather is another factor. 😊
i don't think you need full chassis legs. they mainly go at the rear and at the fork area as those areas used to be available as pattern parts. if you get really stuck i could make a pair of rear sections copied from my car 👍
Gutted for you, but TeeCee is in good hands with you, Rustivals will come and go, I too will miss yet again the next one but we all have a limit with costs...we love these old cars but gosh they do try us...plus nothing wrong with seeing more on the ZZR...🤑😁
Hi simone how u doing enjoyed watching your channel and watching the progress on tc good luck with getting tc sorted look forward to seeing the next video
I feel really sorry having watched this video this morning. Must be really disappointing to get to this point and see that Rustival etc is out of reach at the moment, but we can clearly see in the episodes you have put out the extent of the work required. I am just sad that these parts you need are not cheap and easy to get hold of, and the struggle you have to do this in the limited space available to you, but admire your perseverance. I really hope this all works out well for you and TeeCee in the end x
@@simon.easton Thanks Simon, yes it's a bitter pill to swallow but it's the logical thing to do. I am not even sure if I will attend Rustival even though I have my ticket.
@@CortinasAndClassics Well it would be nice to see you whatever you come in, but I appreciate it is not exactly a short drive away, and it depends what else you are doing at the time and how tired you feel. The welding course sounds like it will be very helpful.
When I did mechanics in college they let me take my classic Mini in to do some welding jobs and even offered to repaint the sills. So it could be worth looking into if you were ever considering a welding course👍😎
Those looking for £££ for bits of metal are disgraceful. The wheel arch looks grand now. I can't see a power pack running a welder, but what do I know 😮 I hope someone has the bits you need cheaper/free and sees your passion for this old car. Perhaps an email to a company making these chassis bits for any help might work 🤞, my mam had a saying " if you don't ask, you don't get"..... Look forward to the welding training, it might take some of the guesswork out of set up etc
@@CortinasAndClassics It's a bit 'cliquey' though isn't it? Paid up members only, when it was a free for all to join internet forum! Have you tried 'BuySellCortina' Simone? There''s a guy on there called 'SheffieldCortinaCentre' who's pretty good with spare parts and stuff.
I made 2 comments here last night. Today, both have vanished, as my comments always do for some reason. I'll just say good luck and goodbye Simone, as this comment will undoubtedly vanish into the ether before 6pm!
@@CortinasAndClassics I said that there's a guy on BuySellCortina called 'SheffieldCortinaCentre' who's pretty good with spare parts, if you can't find any that aren't massively overpriced. Hopefully this will stay here until you read it.

I do like that car having seen it in the metal, keep up the good work and see you at a future event :)
hi simone it will take a waild to due .you will get it dun .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😄
Fully understandable , Unfortunately TeeCee is not a quick fix, but you will get there with your very sensible attitude

It's a mine field Ali

Oh wow thank you Ian that would be amazing. I will look for the fork sections and see what I can find.
You're doing the best you can.
Doing a great job! Keep up the hard work!
@@frothe42 Thank you Frederick 🙂👍🏻

I hope so too
yep get done right - do it once and do it right sort of thing - pay off in the end youll be happier if done right
Wonder if you could do the car on your welding course. Years ago my son finished my Trikes petrol tank when he was on a body work course.
It's doubtfull. It will be a city college.

@@Car_and_classic_lover I start a course in September.
@@CortinasAndClassics Good luck Simone! You'll be amazing at it👍👍

it would run a small welder but i would say for minets lol before it would need charging again
Is there an owners club for these can anyone help from there ? .
@@dreammaker730 I am a member of the owners club. I have been asking around.
