Build Thread - '62 Comet
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2016 3:32 pm
Hey guys! So here's a link to the original build thread for the car: http://www.cometcentral.com/forum/viewt ... 4&start=15
The short version is that the car has a 2.3L from a '93 Ford Ranger. I drove it 3 1/2 hours home, and it got 27 mpg.
Here's a link to some pictures: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... sp=sharing
I'm sure you'll notice the terrible weatherstripping. Well...I have to drive this daily, and it's cold. So it's a bandaid solution. I'll fix it properly once the weather gets nicer. But that's why the driver side door isn't closed all the way. It only closes completely if I slam it, but if I slam it the window pops off the track. So that's another thing to fix.
When I bought the car, the shifter was broken. I drove it home with a clamp holding it in place. The next day a metalworker friend of mine fabbed up the new shifter and welded it into place.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to messing with this car. I need a back seat, and I'd like to polish up the interior a little bit. I'd also like to add a little bit of audio. One day, maybe a swap to the 2.3L turbo motor.
