hi everybody. i'm ian from derbyshire in the uk. at present i'm restoring a 1981 ford cortina that has been in the family since 1984. it was purchased new as a company car for rolls royce aero engines in derby. body panels are quite hard to source and expensive so i'm trying to make as many myself as possible using only basic hand tools. before restoration

right hand door pillar made by copying a left hand panel
