Welcome mate. there are a few old ford nuts here, so you're in good company. Personally I think the best thing for an old Ford is to rip out the
running gear and put it in a Locost 
Not a big fan I'm afraid, there were just too many around...

I've always had trouble getting the nuts off an old Ford!
Rusted solid mostly.  Maybe that's just the Fords I've owned though......... nah, doubt it.

cheers for the warm welcome guys...
building up a 205 block pinto i put in my 1.6 laser last year... super poor after uni but hungry for more so instead of costly 45's...
it's a set o bike carbs on the ol' girl for me...
and if i had a lottery win, she would be tricked out with a 4ltr strait six, box and running gear from a tuscan! dimensions such as wheel base are
quite similar don't you know!

welcome matey.
An OSF'er here too, got myself a mk2 scrote as my daily driver i'm in the process of building a new engine for.
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.
