Bringing home my 63 sprint
Hello Guys,
Well we got the new falcon home.
The car is alot wetter than we were lead to believe.. we gutted the interior after we got her home to find rotted floors. so it looks like I get to do both front pans and toe boards.. yea!!!!!
The interior is sitting in my basement drying out. hopefully I'll be able to salvage some of it.. right now it looks like the door panels and rear seat will have to be replaced.. the carpet is already in the trash..
Plans are to repair floors and redo the interior.. body work will consist of restoring it so it will except good paint.. we are going with silver moss.
I'll post pictures..
the cool thing is we located a previous owner. She bought the car in 1982 and it had all the sprint stuff on it when she bought it. she referred to it as a sprint the whole time during our conversation. We were also able to verify that the car has had the rear panel replaced along with a quarter panel.
The car came with the hub caps in a box wrapped in news paper.. this owner is the person who took them off the car becasue she was worried about loosing them.. the fact that the box is still with the car is impressive..
So we are a little disappointed with the condition of the car as its not what we were expecting, we will now have more into it than we counted on, but it should be nice when we are done.

Nathan, you answered your own poll with the name of your thread. It is a sprint so you should restore it to that condition. It is a beautiful car already and can't wait to see it finished. It's only time and money. Have fun. :BEER: Larry
