Hello! I just thought I would tell you all a little bit about me and my car. I just purchased a 63' Mercury Comet Custom 2 dr hardtop. It has a 260 V-8 2 speed automatic. It is in pretty good shape and has all of the original parts except for the breather and a custom emblem for the front right fender.(which im looking for if anyone knows where either of these are) The body looks to be in pretty good shape but i havent sanded it down yet. I stripped the interior this past weekend and to my dismay i found that the drivers side floor pans need to be replaced and both toe boards have rusted all of the way through.
I took interest in the classic cars when my husband bought a 65' biscayne. Now he has all of his car done minus the paint job. I sat around watching him work on his car and realized there was only two things stopping me from doing the same. One I didn't have the car and two I needed to realize I could do anything I wanted as long as I wanted to do it no matter what anybody said about a woman working on a car. Well we came across my car sitting in a yard for sale and I knew then I wanted it. It was $1500 but it was worth every penny. Did i mention that it still runs. So there you have it. I plan on working on this car as much as I can by myself. I know there will be some things I won't be able to do until I learn to do it. But hopefully by this time next year I will be out and about showing it off.
Tell me what you think about keeping it original or not!!!
Thanks
