Thanks for the comments thumbsupp

Yes I built it all myself originally a mk5 cortina P100 I fitted mk3 wings (cut to suit), bonnet (cut and lifted centre bulge to match into mk5 scuttle panel), mk3 doors with mk5 tops, mk3 front panel, flared b pillars to flow from mk3 cortina front to Sierra P100 back with mk3 Cortina rear arches fitted and flushed in rear panel. 2.9i V6 from a Granada, home made exhausts, Porsche 944S half leather seats, custom made wheels by Revolution done to my sizes (pcd is 5 x 127 so not easy to find aftermarket with the offset I needed), and probably loads more I can't think of right now!

If I had more time, money and not as many other projects on the go then I would have spent more on the paint job to make it perfect but at the end of the day it's a pick-up and will be used as such!
Main thing is it's ready for an MOT so I can use it but I have a bit of rolling work to do on the interior as it's just been thrown together to get me going but a new carpet and door cards are required as well as a radio and CB then just some tyding up of the engine bay with some cleaner, cable ties and paint for the block, rocker covers, etc.

The mods are very subtle, I'd never have guessed so much work has gone into it!
