DAZZA Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 Just like to say thankyou to my wonderful wife and well done for keeping this a secret for almost 2 months until Christmas day and sorry for nearly giving you a heart attack evey time i found a car for sale! Also to her brother (Oldfordmorg) for giving it the once over and collecting it for her. Finally my next door neighbour Des, for trailering it up from Bognor & getting a ticket on it. Ive finally got a motor! Its a 1956 Prefect, 2L Pinto, 5 speed box, Capri Struts, 105E rear. Straight through with a cherry bomb Originally built by a guy into the custom scene (hence the stripes & 15" out back, 13"s up front ) Plans include - Rolling resto, a Period colour, bumpers back on and steels. As most people with a pulse on this site will be, im in awe of Oldschoolgeezers 100E and will be leaning towards that kind of style/spec. Just Leaves me to say happy 2008 to you all. Have a peek at the pics and thanks again to my wife Sarah.... love you loads! Got this on my birthday (23rd Dec) and couldnt think why????? .... then it all became clear. Half way through xmas afternoon, the brother-in-law popped out and I was ushered outside........ Boxing day, spent with a heat gun....... My son - Joshua, and nephew - Jake got stuck in too... Nasty blue detail..... Trip to Halfords..... Took those nasty 15" alloys off in preparation for some steels. Temporary measure, to see how much I can get a steel banded. Will post up progression on restorations.....

DAZZA Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks for the comments, heres some answers -the body and floor are wonderfully solid -thinking of getting back to black, red interior as per original sales receipt -bumpers and some of the chrome back on -getting it down a few inches,,,, asap. -My brother in law is building up another pinto for it -James P is on the case with the dished steels. -The wife isnt for sale, although theres always room for negotiation. (Joke sweetheart ).
