How an unfinished project became...

1928 Model A Ford Roadster Pickup

This Ford Model A roadster pickup was purchased in 2014 as an unfinished project from Melbourne, following an eBay ad. The car had a V6 Commodore engine and a new five-speed manual gearbox and clutch set up fitted. It also had a Camira rack and pinion attached to a dropped axle. After getting the car back to Sydney, the V6/manual setup and steering system was quickly ditched in favour of more hot rod style parts in the form of a Chev V8/Auto transmission and Holden steering box configuration.
