Project "MEXJET"
Ok for all that have been listening to me posting crap everywhere i have decided to start a collective of pics for you all to follow over the next 18 to 24 months, long time to build but this is a start. I have been collecting parts for the last 6 months and have a very large range of hard to get parts in the shed ranging from new genuine dash switches, bumperettes, couple of round lite grilles, and heaps of other cool stuff that i have searched far and wide accross the world! We start here, this is my base car, its ready to get rego on it, just saving the bucks right now, its a stock 71 model with a 1100HC manual, all white with a red interior, lots of nice dints and very little rust, most of this car will transfer to the new shell as we get going Download Attachment: IMG_6614.jpg49.42 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6615.jpg50.61 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6616.jpg43.52 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6617.jpg46.14 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6618.jpg50.2 KB Shes all stock but in very good condition for its age, i am in love with the interior and are finding it hard to find another one like it, maybe that why i like it so much[%]

Moving right along, this is my rolling shell i have bought, its a late 75 from what i can tell, but dont let the MK2 floor pans fool you, yer there is only one spot where there is a 5cent coin size of rust staring to appear in the drivers well, but thats a easy fix and only one other little bit under the tank even smaller, here are some pics: Download Attachment: IMG_6625.jpg61.67 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6628.jpg54.18 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6634.jpg48.31 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6631.jpg53.88 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6633.jpg57.29 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6635.jpg46.71 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6613.jpg57.74 KB Even a pic of the three looms, damn there easy to remove, just unplug and take out, cant be better. As you can see there is a long way to go and i cant show you all pics, but as time goes on i can show little bits and pieces, then when the engine get back to me i can show you some more!

Ok after attacking the bowl i was very suprised with my results(also see spot weld removal tool thread in tips and tricks section)(http://classic-ford.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6519) and as you can see i have very little rust, we are going to cut the centre tube out along with a 15mm edge and remake just the tube and 15mm extra lip and all rust will be solved, only those very minor marks under where it was welded but it will clean up and we have to add a new flat surface to that anyway for the new seal. Have a look so far! Download Attachment: IMG_6685.jpg51.79 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6690.jpg58.85 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6691.jpg43.96 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6692.jpg51.39 KB Download Attachment: IMG_6688.jpg53.66 KB so as you can see im lucky to have very little rust for it age, once i make the new tube and outer ring it will come up quite nice, then i have to repair the dome and make to bolt on the same a Daunes. Next project are the bolt on, bolt off guards, yer im ripping them off and bolting them back on as well, how hard can it be not very from the looks! Plus it gives me the excuse to fit new panels
