NEW to comets - here's my new baby

Post by garm »

Hi all, never owned a Comet before. I bought this one today.
1964 with a 260 V8, auto trans, lowered front, Torq Thrust wheels.

I know I'll be looking for advice on a few things, looks like a great forum.

Thanks for the warm welcome. The inside is restored pretty nicely though not 100% original.

First thing I have to do is replace the fuel tank which is a mess. Pretty easily found parts, so that should be done next week.

Second, the horn doesn't work. So, of course, I looked for the fuses. And looked. And looked.
Seriously? Behind the light switch? I'm guessing a proper fuse block is a common upgrade.

I'll keep pecking at it! Pleasure to drive the old girl!

I believe that was a proper fuse block... in 1964 :)
