Default Maybe OT. Marts new Project! 1955 Ford 100E Anglia! Part 1. It's Rusty!

I went mad and paid far too much for a car on ebay. It will be an ongoing project at Mart's Garage for a while. So, in tonight's video I buy the car and give it a good look over when it arrives. So follow along and witness the highs and lows of new project ownership.

That's what happens when we get our other stuff running. We go looking for more!

You appear to be taking a page from Scott (Cold War Motors)! Am anxious to hear that little engine running Mart. As for the underside shots, they looked uncannily like underwater video from the Titanic… except the ship looks better! [emoji39]

I think a Flathead V8 would look good under that hood, you also need a bigger garage.

I was thinking a V8-60 would look good in that, and get this project back on topic.
