Bulldog Reborn

[easytiger831]

This is my Bulldog Mk IV or V built on a Cortina donor with a 2.0L pinto engine. Its not as built by me but bought specifically to restore. Having restored in the past an MG Midget and built a Tiger Cat E1 I wanted something different without the hassle of SVA tests etc.
When bought the car was a mess inside but the bodywork was good which was the main thing, there was only one seat and a piece of plywood for a dashboard with the original Cortina instrument binnacle glued on the back of the plywood, mismatched switches and a bit of a mess. The Dashboard and all the interior has been replaced, as well as all the old rubber Ford suspension bushes replaced with neoprene long life. New Gearbox and clutch have also been fitted and bit by bit other things like brake calipers and rear cylinders are being replaced.

It's a MKIV and a very nice one at that. Not very many white ones around although I have seen a white FT.

Thanks, as I said, the body was in good condition which was the main thing.
