Here is my latest project. Needed to get it running and driving so I could use it to start teaching the kids to drive. It is a 144 ci 3 on the tree. The car was bought new by my great grandmother and passed down through the family. I have been after the car for years. I first asked my uncle if I could buy it from him in 1990. He refused to sell it to me then and let it fall into disarray. When he finally came to the realization that he was never going to do anything with it, he offered to give it to me if I promised to never let it leave the family. I took the car and it has been sitting out back at my place since 2004. I finally drug it around about a month ago and started repairing the mechanics of the car. It was parked because the clutch was out. Pictured is what I removed from the car. I think he got all the good out of it. All of the brakes were shot and the fluid was long since gone leaving a corroded mess. I replaced all the wheel cylinders, master cylinder and did a full brake job. The column shifter was inoperable and required me to remove the column, disassemble it and do some welding to repair. At some point my uncle had put shag house carpet in the interior. Apparently it draws and holds moisture like a sponge. The floorpans are completely wasted. Anyhow, it is running driving and stopping now, the new floorpans are on the way and should be installed in a couple of weeks. I thought some of you freaks on here would appreciate the little Falcon, so here it is.
