They don't make them like they used to.

Well it ( she) arrived early this morning, I was still in bed, I heard the low rumble of its V8 engine, a beautiful sound.

Everything is original, inside and out, even the hubcaps ! The idea was to keep it all original, but with that comes all the problems of a 57 year old car. It's different if you just take these things to shows and keep locked up in a garage the rest of the time.

I want to drive this on a daily basis, so now we have the put in power steering, power brakes etc. I have to make seat covers as the ones in it are rotten.

We spent a few hours cleaning it , inside and out, there was a lot of sand and grass seed inside, probably the closest to Texas I'll ever get.

Looking forward to cracking on with it tomorrow.
