Hi Morten- Your hinge looks a little different, may talk to my fabricator to see about duplicating the original. I added a pic here, hope it is not upside down. Think that the car will look stunning in black!!

Here are a couple pics of the hinge. This is the lower left.

Hi All- I finally got my car back (in pieces) from the paint shop. Seems that they managed to loose one of the door hinges- left side upper. It is probably a stretch, but are there any of these hinges still in existence? Looks like I may be in fabrication mode. I will try to get a picture up...

Hello Richard- I had a camera system in my car when I bought it. It had two cameras installed in the areas that the front fender mirrors were installed. This is not a good solution to rear vision. I have seen systems on the market that have the camera in the license plate frame, actually I have...

Hi David- Thanks for asking, doing well on lock down in Washington State. I am "essential worker" as I am a food producer. Going out in public to limited extent to get ready for coming fishing season. I am a bit concerned about ramping up too fast around here as I am in vulnerable...

I am late to this party, haven't been updating on this site recently but.... forgive me if I am wrong but Walters picture looks like something they saw on the wreck of the Titanic 2000 fathoms below the surface of the ocean.... PS; metallurgy is not my forte.

Hi Kim- My car had a glass rear window. It is currently in the paint shop. The glass guy came in and broke the glass when he tried to remove it. I am going to go with plastic to replace. I felt that the glass is significantly heavier. Also you need a purpose built glass as the window will need...

Anyone know where I can procure the hardware for the side window vents? I have checked with RCR, they have it listed on their website but not available at this time. Thanks and regards, Paul

Hi again Frank- I had time to go out and look at the bellhousing. It actually has degree marks cast into the housing. Was this a custom casting for the GTD/Renault?? It certainly makes life easier. Thanks again, Paul

Oh yeah..... the light bulb went on! Thanks, Frank regards,Paul

Yes, please... smoke and mirrors?

I had to replace my distributor (MSD). When I installed the new one I tried to get it as close as possible to the previous setting, but I know that I need to set the timing..... Looks like I will have to pull out the seats to access the panel behind them to get to the timing marks on the...

Hi Cliff- Looks like we are neighbors. I have to deal with some of the NMFS/NOAA people that have their office down there. Believe it or not I have already received the rack from Kelly Bray and it is bolted into the car!!! Excellent service if you need steering gear for a British car...

Kelly Bray does ship worldwide! I am favorably impressed with their prompt service. The rack is now on its way across the ocean (I hope). Frank, I am hoping that a bunch of armed customs agents are not going to follow that package to my house. They might find a "weapon of mass destruction"...

I was thinking that the last Cortinas that came over here were MK3s. Was going to try salvage yards, but realized my car is right hand drive.. not likely to find that in the US. Looks like KB is best option. Will see if they will ship it over here. Thanks to all for help. Regards, Paul

I am looking for a replacement rack for my car also. I believe that my car was built in 1994, it is GTD 20390. Probably the Cortina unit. Is there a source for this rack in the U.S. ?? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Wow. Awesome. Gonna motivate me to get my car off the jackstands. thanks, Paul

Hi Randy- the paint was done by previous owner. You might try asking the shop that did the paint job. Their website is <impatientcreations.com> , the car is listed on the site under "past projects" , 1967 Ford GT40.. I called them a while back and they remembered the car. Outside chance...

OK, file size way too big. Cropped it down and reduced contrast. I am hoping the next pics up here will be a new paint scheme , etc.. the poor gtd looks like a matchbox miniature. Paul

Hello all- I am no computer genius, but will try to upload.. enjoy the pics. Paul
