What started out as a simple project!
This is a detailed account of the frame off restoration of my 86 T-type. I bought the car from a good friend of mine in September of 2005. The car had rough paint and my buddy had robbed the motor and trans out of it but it was a VERY clean car to start with and had never been modified or painted so it was a very good foundation for a project like this. Like most of these projects this one started as a car I was going to put a motor in that I had lying around and throw a quick paint job on and make a nice daily driver out of to beat around in. I had a lot of parts lying around to put the car together rather cheap and it sounded like a good idea at the time.
