Save the planet - "Drive a Classic"
I believe this has been posted before. Just fun to post again.

The design life of...

Re: Old poster returning with a 105e Estate
Most likely paint shops won't have the old paint mix formulas anymore. Nowadays they can exactly match the original paint by taking a photo of the dash or inner trunk lid.

Welcome, Iwan. We exchanged messages a day or so ago. Forgot to ask if the Estate has the original engine still, maybe a 105E 997 ?
Good luck,
Pete

Re: Crossflow Cortina on BaT
There was quit a lot of interest in this car. I think 24K would be a reasonable offer considering it has some paint issues.

Re: Correct Stock Radiator Cap
4 lbs caps were sufficient when only water was used as coolant and compression ratio ~7:1.
