Doc Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Some of you know that my mate Palmer who was a member of this forum died a few years ago . He was going to build the hardest Corsair in the land with the help from Retro Im going to try and build the hardest corsair i can afford , Sorted chassis , linked for tarmac and turbo Ricer powered , period looking ( for the wife ) Now that the capris gone and ive had that experience i think i can do an even better job on this one . In going to buy a turbo ricer as a daily driver while doing the Corsairs body and chassis work then chop it up for the drive train brakes etc .... But first i need a few sorted pics for inspiration lads

Admin Mk2Jo Posted June 5, 2008 Admin Report Posted June 5, 2008 Yes, I remember Palmer very well Doc Well done on keeping his memory going
Doc Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Posted June 5, 2008 Itll be a four door as they are easier to get hold of and i dont want to chop up a good E or GT do i ? Anyway a four door means i can get a recaro child seat fitted as a nod to Mrs Doc , she hated the capri with a vengeance , said it was rubbish as a family car so i need a four door . First get a job though ! Any pics anyone ?

DAZZA Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 About time someone sorted a ford pube. There is a guy by the name of Roy Pitter, I think thats his old one on few posts up, he his the man in modding corsairs. He moves in Hot Rod and Custom crowds. Isnt there another guy called Steve Watts with a son who are both into these? Sounds blinding hope to see it in Restorations soon.
