Howdy from a newbie Live just south of Ottawa. Recently picked up a 79' F100 on the cheap. 302, and I think it's a C4 auto. Body is in so-so shape. Some perforation in the cab. Box is likely a write-off as one of the PO's decided to weld in a sheet of 16Ga rather than fixing it properly. Never done a restore or anything before, so this is my mid-life project lol. I'm sure I'll be chock full of questions as I dive into trying to get this thing fixed up. Haven't decided if I want to restore to original, or make it pretty and build in some ponies. Money is always an issue :/ I guess the first question is... now that it's in my driveway, where do I start! (Besides joining the FTE community for help lol).
Oh... sry about towing it with my GM lol. Let the flaming begin
Cheerio -
Welcome new F100 owner and there is a big difference between the before and after cleaning pictures. Looks like a little TLC will have it in shape.
Keep us up dated on progress and a picture every now and then!
