EDIT: If you want to share information about this car or send me some helpful info my email is Eclipsegt24@nycap.rr.com
This is not what i expected to find as i went to a house local looking at a old ford coupe that had been sitting outside covered since before i was born (im 23 as of now 7/28/11). I had looked at it everyday riding the bus by it...now fast forward and i have the time/money for a major project such as this. I go upto ask and the new owners of the house wont even let me look at it. Wouldnt tell me anything about it...i think i knew more then they did...
anyways about a block away is a small car junkyard/scraping place. My friend pointed it out. At first i thought it was a Studebaker... as soon as i seen those front fenders.. i knew exactly what it was.
1932 Sedan
Above the VIN plate it says <|156440|> Not sure what that is.
Plans: (Restorers look away haha)
Engine/Mechanical
~Toyota 2JZGTE motor and Standard transmission (They come in 5 and 6 Speed)
~~3L 24 Valve DOHC Twin Turbo Straight 6. ~276hp Stock
~~~(Single medium sized turbo will be used)
~Front and rear Coilover Suspension
~New axles/spindles/etc I want 5x114 lug pattern all-around. (ALOT of wheels made now a days are this type of bolt pattern.)
Exterior
~Original gas tank is coming out and New fuel Cell is going behind the rear seats.
~Roll pan to connect the two rear fenders will serve as a bumper.
~Original Rear tire placement is not going to be used.
~Need a front bumper
~Replace the rear door handles
~Roof... i have no idea about.
Interior
~Custom dash and floor pans.
~Driver and Passenger seat are either going to be racing seats or just updated bucket seats.
~Behind D&P seats is a bench seat
Thats pretty much it for now.
