I finally found my A

Found this 28 Tudor 10 miles from me in a old farmers barn. The body had been blasted and primed in the 80s, 95% there.



You guys think $1500 was too much for a running and stopping A?

 

Wow! that was a deal.... I've seen the ch***is and drivetrain go for that amount!!!

 

Yeah you got a solid deal on a solid car... congrats! What are your plans for it?

 

rock and roll!!!

 

Good score. Looks really solid........

 

EXCELLENT price!

 

The banger was recently rebuilt and runs so nice. Not sure exactly sure what to do with it. Maybe some updated brakes, paint, finish the top, find some seats and drive it..


Now If only it was that easy eh?

 

Check out Chris' thread on his A coupe build. Your sedan would be a perfect candidate for this type of build.

This is the way to find them cheap and close to home. Looks real nice.
Keep us posted on the progress.

 

I'll give you your money back and a couple bucks for your time.

 

Can you say SCORE!!!!!?

Pop the fenders on, leave the hood off, lower the front, slap on from 16" wires with 6.00 up front and a 6.50-7.00 in the back and go driving!

Where is the best and cheapest place to get some Gl***? I checked the local Gl*** shop and was quoted close to $500...

What can I rob the brakes from to update the braking system? (I read somewhere F100?)

 

Not sure about pricing but most Parts Dealers have the gl*** below is a link. Only thing I have from them so far is a catalog. I am stil in the catalog/parts sourcing stage

As far as the brakes lots of good info in the tech section to get started.
