Hey Guys,
I have been into small fords since i started driving. which wasnt that long ago considering im 25.
One of my first daily drivers was a beastly 250 crossflow TE with a chunky 4.1 litre that set alarms off.
It was good fun but still a little like i was driving a small falcon.
My dad has been a keen fan of the mark 1s and has really gotten me interested after seeing some of the amazing style some of the little cars can show.
he originally offered me a 4 door mark1 65 to work on while he was working on his 2 door project. since then thing have changed and he has decided to get rid of them both. an oppurtunity cam up and i decided to take the 2 door off his hands and finish the project.
Most ofo the hard work has already been done as it was rescued nearly rusted to death in Adelaide.
After trailering it back to ACT he has done some extensive body work and had a go at his first paintjob which i think looks great.
looks like i get the fun part of assembly and whatever else pops up along the way.
heres some pics and ill post more as i progress. really looking forward to the learning experience ahead!
