Build story
The car has been in the family since brand new when my Grandma bought it in 1968.
The car sat for many years last being driven in 83 I think it was. Grandma went to sell the car but instead I fell in love with it and bought the car off her in August 2013 at the age of 16. The engine was seized, no brakes, rotten frame & despite looking good & needed proper body work. (packed with bondo) We forced the engine to turn over in 2013, changed all the wheel cylinders, some hardware, rear brake shoes, filed the points and drove it how she was in 2014. Once 2014 came to an end I've been fixing & modifing the car gradually.
