      Weather in the isles and all, this unit was decently well taken care of. Certainly better condition than anything i've seen of the similar age across the continent. Only recently we were inspecting for purchase a few similar Fords and some of the nut-ware was so rusted, it was merely a suggestion of a nut. So much so that the evaluator thought it was a riveted frame.

    I have been a mechanic for forty five years. You guys are awesome. I would have bet money the spring bolts would be removed with a torch. Or maybe you would have gotten lucky and burned the whole thing to the ground. Keep going
