Hi,croft wrote:That looks "So Cool" a "soft top pickup" !!!! Is it going to stay like that? or does it have to have the roof for strength?
Thanks!
The sills and door posts have been re-inforced and the original roof will be going back on as a 2-piece hard-top!
Cheers
Martin

Hi Frank,FrankM83 wrote:when you say Ford uprights like Cortina's you mean?
what geabrox have you got if you mind asking? as with my cosworth project the gearbox is a major headache as it's going to far back!
Uprights are modified Ford Sierra units
Gearbox is a Borg Warner 65 Auto.

Hi David,davidmiles wrote:that is one hell of a pickup, how long have you been working on it to get to this stage? and what condition was it in when you first got it?
I bought it off E-bay about 5 years ago, in standard form, and drove it straight to the MMOC Nationals at Donnington!
It was sold to me as re-built and re-sprayed but within a few months I had replaced both sills, one doorpost and one front inner wing!
The chassis was no better so I built my own!!
The thing is that the previous owner had payed a professional for all this work to be done and they had just resprayed it and hid the rest!
It has been off the road for about 3 years but I have spent much of that time getting the convertible finished.
Good luck with yours!
Cheers
