This was one of many of my grandfathers cars he had. he was a big english car collector. We only got ot keep this one when he died because its the one that ment the most to my father.

Anyhow i got it in 8th grade when he passed and it sat for 2 years. Then i got it to NC were we worked on it at our cabin for 2 summers when i got the whole car running again did a full headjob, new brakes all of it.

here is how it looked then.

 

i will post the pics from a month ago and from last week later on today.

 

very nice

a great way to remember grandpa

 

Thats awesome.

 

about freaking time!

ahh that car brings back hilarious memories

 

That's awesome man. I have a '41 Ford that my grandfather (who died last MArch) left me. I can't wait to start on it...but I have to build my shop in my back yard first!!!!!

 

here is the car as per like 2 months ago body work ready for paint.

 

Here is the car as of 2 weeks ago. Now the car is back together and were doing the interior i hope to be sitting in it with the new blue paint job and tan interior by the next month or so.

*For anyone wondering i didnt paint the engine all red, the ******** decided on there own to do that without asking, needless to say i am gonna have ot pull a good number of items off the motor and take the paint off them (like hte distributor) and leave them bare as they should be or repaint them black as they should be. But i guess its all part of the headaches of owing a english car.*

And in case anyone wonders she tops out at 74mph!

 

Hey, that's a pretty neat car man. Looks like you guys are doing a good job on it also.

tops out at 74mph? Sweet, at least it'll tear a Honda a new as*hole :clap:

 

Sweet...

 

Thats totally awesome!!!

 

as fonc would say:

(.)(.)'s!!

 

Yeah its a fun car. I describe to people as highspeed thrills at low speeds. At 30mph it feels like 60 or 70. I can put my arm out the side and touch the ground while drivign it sits soo low and has such low doors.

It also has no seatbelts so thats fun. And becuase its a 1954 it doesnt need to have a speedo,lights,or turn's to drive it in the US. it says on my title exempt from speedo. I have been pulled over in it doing 50 in a 30 and was just like "i didnt know" and walked away with nothing but a hey thats a cool car.

It was my daily driver for 3 months 2 years ago during the winter when my f150 blew its built tranny at the track. It sucked not having heat.

 

kool car!!
