Well after a frustrating time looking for one i found a banged up old ford on ebay

It did not sell at the auction so I e mailed the chap and he is going to strip all the parts out of the car and give them to me all for £200 i am thrilled.

Before I send him the list is there any thing that I should ask him to take out that the book dose not mention?

Here are a few pics. Rescued attachment 72_1_b.jpg

Sounds like everything to me!

The bloke will only have a shell left after that lot! You might not need some of it if you are building a racer. And there are something i would replace as a matter of course, (such as hoses and cables)

Front uprights are a must.

would it be easier to make a list of what you dont want? ie:

bodyshell
headlights
seats
interior trim


that's probably about it really!

is this car local to you


Mezzz - 13/4/06 at 08:05 PM

Its about 4h away thats why I am getting the parts as I dont have a traylor and the cost of getting it here would be to much so the guy offered to strip it all for me how can I refuse

Can I have the front wheel studs if they are metric?
