There always a story to tell when you end up owning a ford, so i brought this in May last year for my 30th and used it on and off till July when the turbo needed replacing and since then its sat in my mates workshop after i wanted to rebuild the chassis and engine. But i decided to open a burger van and converting this took a while and getting it up and running then my mother in law become very ill last year and passed away so all work sort of stopped! we only opened the catering van up in January this year so now everything is back to normal im now a house husband whist the mrs and the sister in law run that here's some pics.

I have gone mad buying bits and pieces over the last 6 months to spread the cost of the rebuild, and now its time to strip the engine out and everything from the chassis ready for prep and painting.

Cool car and cool parts.Sorry to hear about your mother in law.

 

Look forward to your progress mate.

 

look forward to watching this project

 

Nice parts there, looks a good project.

 

made some progress yesterday rear beam in primmer and sanded down ready for painting but not to sure on colour as I will use it on other parts like tank strap, front compression struts and lower arms.

Looking forward to seeing this unfold mate

 

Well the rebuild is going ok Engine in the house as its Easter for strip down.



Head and crank strpped and ready for checking at Southern Rebore tomorrow to see if it needs polishing or a skim. But engine was 100% when i removed so all should be good

 

Well finally started cracking back on with my car. Sent head and crank off to be checked, head was fine but had full strip down and rebuild didn't need a skim, and my crank only needed a polish and amazed it was still on its standard shells.

All the interior has been put back in with freshly painted interior floor, just need to sort the headlining out.

Chassis been steamed cleaned and chemically treated and this week the floor will be painted and put back rolling again ready for engine to be fitted.
