Fantastic.Just loved it when the old girl coughed.We were all sitting on the edge of our seats. I can't wait to see the 2 Teds working on it in the future.Have a great week off. Jess.
davejaguar66 If you get the chance check out this video. Unfortunately the guy seems to have given up on TH-cam, it’s a bit rat rod but his fabrication #kills are great and I like the overall concept, I must have watched it a hundred times. th-cam.com/video/RQmup8lbMeE/w-d-xo.html
That Consul looks very straight Dave, it is in amazing condition for the year. I am sure that it will look brilliant when you and Amir have finished with it. Cheers Malcolm
Bon voyage! Good motto. Mine has been more like "Tempt the Fates and Keep the Faith." lol Thanks for the update. The Ford looks to be in pretty good nick.
Hi Dave Your Consul Mk 2 . With that oil tank filter breather , makes me think that was poss registered / sold abroad first . As the First mk 2 that I had. Had the same set up & that came from Italy.
James, I gave the car to my wife as a present and i would restore it for her and she sold it a few weeks later! The guy that owns it now has given up on it and is trying to sell the car on, I hope you watch in to the channel from time to time. Cheers Dave
Dave be cearfull pouring petrol into the carb,years ago a mate of mine was doing that,car backfired, made him jump split some petrol on his self boom he was on fire ,3 degree burns,3 weeks in hospital, has really bad scaring to his chest and neck now,it was only the quick thinking of another mate their he pulled his coat of to smother the flame or it would have been a lot worse,!!
John, Very good point i will mention it in my next video! But you will notice Amir did stand away from the carb incase of a blow back it is something i have done before but like you said it can be very dangerous. Cheers Dave.

Jess, No more pleased than i was i bet! she deserves to be put on the road! Cheers Dave.
Wow Dave what a great old ford, well worth restoring. Look forward to more consul video's.
Cheers, Jeff.
Jeff, I think so to but we will have to watch the budget on this one. Cheers Dave.
The Consul looks great, much better than expected and the chrome handles and trim all look to be there, certainly no major restoration on that one.
Trev, There is a bit of welding to do on the underside but for it‘s age she is in pretty good shape, Better than me that‘s for sure lol. Cheers Dave.
