So, a whole year has been and gone and this little car has been on club plates for almost 6 months now.
With the help of some fellow members and allround good blokes, we've replaced the vinyl floor covering (which seemed impossible to track down) with carpet that looks like a good fit. Even managed to source some switches of the same vintage to make it look like they were always there!
Mechanically we've replaced the Master Cylinder and the Rear Wheel Cylinders along with Brake Lines.
Discovered a nasty vibration between speeds of 60 and 80kmh which turned out to be a shot Uni Joint on the Prop and had it balanced while it was out. This fixed the problem and it now drives pretty well using every bit of its 1100cc's!
Over the past few months I've taken it around 4 Shows all over Sydney and I'm really surprised by the amount of attention it gets. So many people have been able to give me info on some of its make up and I'm now convinced I should leave it as original as possible.
The next step is to replace the front and rear bushes as it tends to wander at higher speeds but other than that a generous coat of Lanolin to maintain its Patina is all it requires.
Even got a Trophy for the Survivor Category at All Ford Day!
