Gwils - 1966 - Ford Fairmont
Brought this car in immaculate condition.
Car had been acid blasted and taken back to bare steel.
It had then been repainted in a brilliant white.
The interior had also been totally reupholstered in white and grey.
The original 170 pursuit engine had been replaced with a 250ci out of an XY Falcon.
The rest of the running gear is original.
The Plans,
My intention with this car is to make it into a modern driver.
All suspension, breaks and steering will be replaced with RRS replacement parts.
Converting steering to rack and pinion with Power steering.
Changing all the drum breaks to power disc breaks
Changing front suspension to fully adjustable coilovers.
Changing rear leaf suspension to a 3 Link set up with adjustable coil over shocks.
Rear Diff will be a Ford 9" LSD shortened to fit.
Engine will be a ford 302,
