Welcome to the MotorMadness.net Website.
Latest updates.....
The Start.....after visiting many car websites around the world I was amazed the effort people put in to display their cars whether it be their favourite, dream or other people's cars on the web. As a car nut myself I thought it would be great to offer my contribution where I hope you will enjoy the site building up with my project cars, your cars from all over the World, articles of interest and any other topics I feel would be appropriate.

I hope you enjoy the site - please visit us again.

Rear panel of V8 Cortina bonded onto car. Here we have the rear panel bonded on with wire mesh bridging the gap between the two panels. The gap was then treated to some 3 layers of course fibre glass matting and 1 layer of fine matting.

Rear panel of V8 Cortina ready for primer. Rear panel coated with filler and sanded down. Notice on the left hand side the old outlet pipe exit has had a piece of the rear panel fibre glassed back on. Panel now ready for some primer.
