[HAMFIST]

[HAMFIST]

well fellahs after a few nightmares about the rust in the Y frames evan after trying to repair them iam still not happy with them so iam going to be taking of the old ones and looking for another pair and itll give me a chance to clean the motor properly and do a few important things aswell so it all comes down to if i can get another better set of Y frames if itll get done by Christmas :P

What sections do you need?  I have the inner & outer legs which attach to the chassis under the front floor up to where they join together and I have the front sections where the bumper bar bolts on, plus the tie member that joins these 2 pieces together.

Hamfist. 

Re my previous comment I know a guy in Adelaide, who's named Greg Newbury, and I think a previous post said you lived approx 1hr away from the car, where you shed is in, Tailem Bend, so Adelaide was an obvious location.

Looks like you're making great progess.  Wish I had the time and funds to commit to my car like you have done, except the wife keeps sending  my 2yr old apprentice out to help but somehow that jsut seems to slow if not stop my work. Keep up the good work and keep all the posts coming.  Do me a favour and take those Ford flags down in the background before they start making your shed rust. lol.
