scaryoldcortina Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Interesting but dead kitcar just appeared in the yard next door... To everone thinking it's a G26, I thought that too. No, something odd is going on. I'm sure I've seen those vents on a bluebird.... And the back is well, a bit cavalierish. Don't recognise the tailgate... So WTH? Wacky prototype, model I didn't know about or crazy person customizing? PS, if anyone knows why photobucket has stopped giving me links and is forcing me to hand code all the image URLs I'd love to know that too.

junkyarddog Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Doors and side glass are Fiesta,Tailgate looks like it maybe from a mid 80's sunny coupe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryoldcortina Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 All ginettas have fiesta doors, as any fule kno. Good idea about the tailgate, I'm off to google some sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Definitely looks like the arse end has been custom modded, perhaps Torcars did it to replace the market they lost from putting hatches on the Princess Tailgate looks a bit Mk2 Scirroccoish also, have you acquired it?

MrBiscuits Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Looks like a Ginetta, G31. Can't find one with cavalier rear lights though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryoldcortina Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Looks like a Ginetta, G31. Can't find one with cavalier rear lights though. It doesn't - the G31 was shorter, a 2+2 and didn't have the fietsa rear windows. It also had a boot. MrBiscuits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryoldcortina Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 also, have you acquired it? No, I enquired but got the usual no/don't know what I'm doing with it yet response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryoldcortina Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Doors are fucked. Bottoms are out and hinge pillar is flaky too. Whole car seems to have been in a damp shed for a decade tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaShrimp Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Bugger on the doors. I really need the rubbers from them. Well all the bits off them as I need spares, fiesta door handles are too weak break can break in winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryoldcortina Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'll keep an eye on it. If I get a chance to salvage bits because it#s just being raped for 2.0 pinto and 5 speed then I will. Prob is it might sit for another 5 years before that happens if previous experience is anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It's a Ginetta G26, I had one and it was a good drive. A few were modified back in the '80s to take Vauxhall rear lights, although the Sunny tailgate is a new one on me. A good idea though, as while the boot itself is quite big the bootlid is tiny, so packing any kind of large object is a bit like building a ship in a bottle. anonymous user 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
