Hi everyone. I was very impressed with the topics on this forum being a big motor sports fan.
I'm currently working on a 63 Ford Falcon Sprint which is a rolling project to turn the car into an FIA replica of the 63 Monte Carlo rally machines. Making changes to the car as time goes by, whilst competing in regularity rallies here in the UK.
The car spent most of it's life in Texas and is rust free but has the usual hot climate issues of knackered rubbers. It didn't have wipers or washers when I first got it - not something you can do without in Wales!
Currently running with a 302 and 4 speed B/W box. Fitted front discs and Shelby GT350 spec front suspension. Just taken off the back springs to get them re-tempered, as I couldn't get uprated leaves for a 63 Falcon. Poly bushes and front Koni shocks were sourced from Australia.
The car is decked out as the Ford France car as used to win the 63 Tulip and Geneva rallies driven by Henri Greder.
