After the presentation, I go on to post the first photos of my adventure. When from the other side of the world it occurred to me to buy my beloved Comet, a dream for me. It cost me $4,000 and was abandoned in North Carolina. It is a C code, original 289 v8 engine, but it did not have an engine or gearbox. The condition when I bought it was this:
First photos, in North Carolina where it was abandoned:
















To say that in Spain I don't know any other Comet, and in Europe I know very few, and in a very bad condition. Here everyone with a lot of money buys Mustang, and that's why I wanted to buy something different, and I decided to buy this 1967 Comet Caliente unit. I paid for transportation to Florida, where from the port of Miami it came to Spain with many spare parts purchased. I buy most of the spare parts at Rockauto and Jegs. The restoration is being tough, but it is being done screw by screw, in detail. I have put a modified 302 engine in it, also made new from scratch (I will detail everything with photos) and a C4 automatic gearbox. I will continue telling about my adventure, and my dream about to come true!!! Thank you all.
I continue commenting on the restoration on the following pages...
