What's the state of play on the Barracuda??

More rusty, more mouldy.

The Mustang isn't for me, I have a very good friend who is considering dropping quite big money on it and doesn't want his pants pulling down.

I don't have spare folding to throw at the build at the moment, so trying to muster the motivation to get back onto it knowing I can't get much further.

This might refire my enthusiasm a bit.

Why? What needs doing> I thought you cracked the biggest problems - UCA's, Engine.....

Biggest problems at the moment are rust, rust, rust and technical density.

Still needs the lump plumbing in properly, need a prop, need a lottery win and some time not working away, that sort of thing.

Always wanted a 68. Managed to sit in a mint 67 when at a local meet a few years ago.

Have to say I was shocked at how claustrophobic it felt inside compared to the Dart. Not a direct comparison as the dart has a bench and the mustang was a floor shift with buckets.

What I did find though, is that when sat centrally in front of the steering wheel, my left hand side was pretty much up against the door card.

Same year went to super car Sunday in Gaydon Warwickshire. 65 race rep was sat next to various Italian exotics. It amazing how thin it is by comparison. Then you walk around the side and realise it's about a foot and a half longer than anything else........

Still want a Bullit rep........as said, beautiful car from nearly every angle!

Yep, 68 would be my pick.
