Hello osf posters,
brief intro, bought a 100e in august this year minus working engine and various other small bits, found a local mechanic who is into old fords, but not quite as old as mine (1958!), but he found a 1600 crossflow for me and mated it up with the existing 2000e gearbox and got it on the road for me.
since then ive done various small bits to it and planned what i wanted to do with the car longer term, currently trying to put together all the parts needed to change the front suspension to coilovers and rack and pinion steering, using old ford autos services parts, which i have mainly sourced apart from a rear bowl sump for the 711m block and pickup pipe.
when thats done it should be in for fitting in the new year.
ive a list as long as both my arms, and getting longer, oh and the rear diff is chucking oil out the front so i guess that now needs a rebuild....another job for someone.
anyway, i’m based north west of leeds, work in leeds, and looking forward to the next 3 to 5 years of watching my project ideas come to light.
regards
steve whitaker.
