but they will look like the back.

How will you change gears then? Or will the gearbox be automatic?

I took it to the paint shop yesterday. they said they may have it done as early as next week. I think they've started on it today! WHEEE! I'll have pictures soon!

Andrei, its bucket seats in the front. And it's an automatic. an AOD from a 93 Cobra.

Car's still in the shop... Good news is that I am doing some computer work for the guy to take some off the bill!

On a side note, I bought another project: a 1956 British Ford Consul Mk2.

You can see pictures here: http://consul.dimebowl.com

<span style="color: lightblue;">Are you going to rape that one too? :biggrin: Just kidding. What are your plans on that one?

edit: Damn that engine looks small. Is it a 1.3 litre?

Dude, that car ****ing well rocks. I can't wait to see this finished :biggrin:

Pvt. Scyth, what do you mean I didn't rape the last one! lol. You must be a purist, you know, "make all cars back to stock condition." The engine is a 1700cc. It runs fine, but the hydraulic clutch won't release, so I'l have ot bleed the system. I always liked British fords.

I was thinking either a pearl white or plain black for this one. I'm not sure about interior colors for now. I'm going to get it in safe driving condition and drive it around for a few months, hopefully. The interior will be old-quilt-draped-over-crappy-seats colored.

:biggrin: Have you become color blind or something? Nah, I was just joking. I
have nothing against building/modifying cars. Actually I'm quite
intrested in what will become of this project of yours(the earlier one
not this british automotive miracle :biggrin: ).

The engine looked a bit beaten up, but if it runs well and doesn't eat
up more oil than gas then I guess you've gotten a good deal. :smile:

IT'S PAINTED!!!!

I am getting the trailer and picking it up tomorrow. I have some pics of what it looks like in the shop, but without the sun, the pictures cannot do it justice. It's gorgeous.

Thats a nice colour. Like... super-awesome.

I just can't help but wonder how it would look in flaming red or glossy black...

That thing is going to be badass when it's all done.
Then you can pick up "the huniez".

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Crono, girls like Cars AND Money. Not just Cars. When i get finished, I will have NO money. I'll probably have to live in this car, lol. Not really.

So are you going to have to go back to the paintshop once you get the front part on or am I missing something?

No, the front part is all chrome pieces and lights. When it all goes on it will look like this: http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-1960-1969/1967-Mercury-Cougar-maroon-fa-nf.jpg

The bumper takes up most of it along with the grille that I am fixin' up now.

Caution: large picture. sigh

The shiny car will give the illusion of capital assets. That or you'll land a grease monkey woman.

boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny?

That's one nice ****ing car :biggrin:

Those headlights in that picture you linked to look more like foglights or something - does that car have no headlights?

I believe that they are inside the grill.

yeah, when you turn the headlights on two sections on teh grille open up for the headlights. I can't find a picture of it, but it's two round headlights on either side.

I got the rear section finished. All done with that! Next it's on to the interior and the all-new wiring harness I'm putting in!

What're your plans for the interior? Leather? Shag carpet?

I have all nice new interior stuff, no leather, just vinyl. But it looks nice. I'll be posting it as soon as i get the wiring harness in and can proceed to the interior. :dorky:

Nice to see you're still working on this thing. Are you going to put any crazy decals and stuff on the outside? Or just keep it the way it is?

I got lots more done. the most visible of which is the interior!

Perty. It seems like this is coming together nicely (no, this is not the first time I've seen this thread, just the first time I've responded.)
