Default My Series 1 Restoration-1st Place Concours, Cumbria 12/5/13

Right cracking on with this now, spent a bit collecting bits up before starting it.
Off road for many years. It's having wings and front panel, pair of doors. All genuine ford.
Few pics
Stripped the car to this state 12 month ago and left it in corner of garage

Pulled it out other day, removed doors and anything from inside the car



Should be going for panels and paint soon, then the rebuild starts


At first I was going to go standard everything and just have it chipped for some extra poke. But the fact that requires sourcing standard mint bits as I'd want it to be minty mint.

So now I'm just going for a nice clean car. Running efi, 250 horse, standard box, probably big brakes and wheels.

I've got engine, management, turbo etc so I may swell use it all in this.

number plates



car stripped back more




steaming the underside



panels removed



Wings and front panel removed, put onto it's side ready for welding work. Makes everything easier

will update as i go on, wont be a massively quick resto
