my advice would first fo all be prepared for it, you need a garage or some were under cover that is dry, as its a old car and a ford you need 2 make sure its dry or it will proberly rust so amke sure you have all the tools etc as well, theres a lot of stuff to get even before you get the car if you havn't got it already
oh and as for the car, don't cut any corners, if you need some thing made up, get it made up dont bodge it
