hello i have just bought some spare front and back bonnet hinges for my rossa from ebay just in case i ever need them. the guy i bought them from lives near me in sheffield and he says he is breaking more cortinas. if any one needs hinges i can pass his number on and if he doesnt post i can pick them up and post at the price of the stamp. i am not doing this to make any money what so ever which is why i would pass his number on for you to disscuss condition and price.

I'm glad you managed to get some.

cheers. thanks for info. i would never have guessed what they were from if you didnt tell me. they guy i got them from is less than 5 mile from me.

Cortina!! You learn something every day. And when did you last see a Corty in a breaker's yard?

As a matter of interest is there a list anywhere of where all these non Mini/Metro parts came from? it would be useful to have.

I know that this is an old post, but agree that a list of non Mini/Metro parts would be useful - does anybody out there have one?

Hi Peter204 & other new Rossa owners.

I purchased the Rossa 1 & 2 project from GTM many years
ago and have attempted to supply spares as required.
I have most of the moulds, drawings, jigs and a stock of
GTM designed parts as supplied in the kits.

No list of non Mini/Metro parts exists as such, although
I can search for code numbers for specific parts if needed.

I also acquired the remains of the K3 project but I do not
have many spares.

Please contact me if you require anything, I will try and help.

Bit of an old discussion, I know, but I've just been going through a load of paperwork that came with my Rossa II when I bought it and found the following list. I've reproduced it below exactly as it appears on the original:

Interesting ( must have taken some typing too!). I take it that's the MK2 list because it differs a little bit from mine and is also more detailed, giving some part numbers etc.

Yes, you're right Raymond - it is a Mk 2.

Can you scan your list and email it to me, please? If you do, I'll put them together into a combined list, split into Mk1, Mk2 and both and upload here in case it's useful for anyone else. My email address is peter204@hotmail.co.uk.

I've also found some more detail in the build manual - I've recently been having a clear out and found it!!

I'll have a go first chance. Don't hold your breath, though, because I haven't a clue how to do it I've never used the scanner function of my printer, the 21st century and I don't get on very well...... (things were far better in the 60s etc etc etc)
