It is now time to tear this thing apart but before we do, let's see if we can get the old girl to fire up. the last inspection sticker on the windshield was from the mid 70's and I am guessing that it hasn't ran since then.

    If you can afford it pull it and install all new main seals and bite the bullit andfront and rear seals. In for a penny in for a pound. I d like to see you get her back on the road if possible. If not keep her for parts and find a better condition 31 A and use the parts for the newer A. Just a thought. Im very impressed with your abilitys! You do as you see fit im just glad to have seen your capable hands bring her back to life. I dont blame you things are horribly expensive now and it was just a treat to watch you work. I wish I had an old A with decent paint. Id drive it everywhere but you have to be practical. Thanks for showing how hard it is to keep up an old Ford and the problems they contain. I understand they have bad gas fumes from the tank being in the dash. So I wouldnt blame you for selling all your A's and puting the money in the bank. Your funny whitty and lots of fun! Hope you get to keep all of em cause I love old modle A's but wouldnt blame you for selling them because there so expensive to fix up. Whatever you decide. But remember old model A's arent easy to replace. I understand you can get most every part youd ever need because there are many reproduction parts available. The downside is the cost. As long as you have two A's already maybe look for one in better condition frame and body wise and put the working engine into it after replacing the seals. Im just wishful thinking . Hope it allworks out for you. Most of the nice modle A's around 15,000 on up! So if you sell them you might never be able to find an affordable wxample ever again. So theres that to consider. All I know is your lucky to have two or more A's in your garage. And your lucky to have a garage and home? Happy mechanicing. Please use good ventilation. Bye!
