my first attempt,
my dad had bought 1954 ford popular 103e around 1999, he had done some work to the body but ended up the body work was just to far gone but engine and axels was good, so it ended up sitting in his garage for another 15 years not being touched, he was for scraping as he wanted the garage space but i decide i would love to mess with it due to having an interest in mechanics.
so i started pulling it apart and start using fibreglass and buying parts that was missing, nose cone, inner wings , rear wings etc but i eventually caught on that the car was to far gone. so 3 years had passed and by help of a friend owen sheilds came across a donor body with parts missing in omagh, so look at car, yes needs some welding a post, b post rear inner wings but apart from that it is solid so bought. 1 year later finger is out and starting with my plan to get her up and going. to add to my journey of getting it up and going owen will b helping on the welding along with guidance and joining the local tech with part time welding course i believe the journey is off to good start.
