Well i have gone out and bought yet another classic ford as it was too cheap to turn down yet again! I just can't let rusty ford metal go to someone else. I was told about this shell on facebook and i went down that day after work to look at it about 2 weeks ago now. I left work at 6 and didn't get in untill half 12 so it was a fair old journey down there. So i left a deposit even though my brother said i was mad to pay £450 for a shell with no floors in! But i seen past that and seen that she was solid and not too messed with in the past. The other thing that tipped the scales for me was the fact that she had vin plates but no v5. So i thought if i apply for a logbook i could double its value for a start. Coming with 3 out of the 4 floor pannels i needed to put the floor back in so thats a good 50quids worth too. All in all a massive project that is on the back burner atm and is going to be a quality build with no expence spared.
The plan is to paint the van and the car in the same colour scheme run them both with 2.3s in and use the van as a tow van as i think that would look brilliant and a rare sight too.
Stopping off for a kebab
Poor thing dumped in the crappy garage so i can paint the van put the engine back in her and also put the capri back togeter when she comes back from the paint shop. So lots on untill i can start her.
