Wypple's Home GarageIn the last few days I wanted to start with this kind of "documentary series" of my future builds, after saying that I continue presenting myself, my name is Lucas Fiorotto (most known by Wypple), i'm 20 years old and I live in Argentina, since I finished high school I started studying as a audio technician, in the process I got a job at a gas station (only helping in easy things), in that way I earned the necessary money to start a project, of course I am a car enthusiast since I was a child, with the job that I mentioned and a big help of my parents now I've got a total of $20,000, I have to mention that I've been saving money for 6 years, otherwise I could never have had that kind of money, the argentinian money value is too low at the moment, that means 20k of greens is too much here.Now let's introduce my new (and first) ride, i'm gonna work on a Ford 32', I bought it by $2703 (121,037 Argentinian Pesos), in this country is very rare and expensive if it's in good conditions, anyway I had too much luck by finding one with all of the external parts and a engine with the primordial components, the car was owned by an old man who just wanted to sell it, that's why he sold it to me too cheap (in this country that amount is cheap for the quality of the car, maybe you will don't believe me but is the crude reality that we are living).As you can see, it have rust what is obviously because it was sitting on the side of a house which was receiving a lot of rain water and humidity, but in a general view is a good base for starting a build, I already have some ideas for it and some contacts which will help a lot! motivation is very important too, If the motivation did not exist why would I be doing this?The most impressive thing for my was seeing that the wheels are in really good conditions! they are from a touring car, also, very popular in modified classic cars, speaking about wheels thingy, the suspension seems too rough, we and my friends discovered it by moving it to the tow truck, it was hard dude!The engine is a Ford 221 N/A (it comes with the Ford Falcon in South America) which not runs because it's missing the air intake and the carburetor, probably the head gasket is blown but it needs a general rebuild.At the time I will keep it in my house garage, my parents no have problem with that so it's magnific.I hope and you have liked this humble presentation, besides following this project of course! Many thanks and see you in the next update. |

OH.
MY. GOD. I've never expected someone to start with a hot rod (to be fair, a barely running one) but hey this is revolutionary! It's well-written as well, definitely one to watch I should say Good luck restoring the car my man! |

That's an interesting choice for a first car! Looks like you'll have a lot of work with rust, hope those parts can be fixed. Be careful though, restoring a car like this can quickly cost you more than you might think... unless you make it a rat rod

@BigSmoke Thanks mate! nice to see that you are interested in this car haha.
@Lagano Yeah, might I will have some problems with the famous rust but we will see how much is when I proceed to dismount the interior, about the orientation, I don't know exactly but there's possibilities to make it a proper "Street Legal" car. (I forgot to mention that the text redaction might be a little weird in some cases, i'm a native spanish speaker but I started to dominate english since the past few years, so I use google translator for certain sentences.) |

With the tools in the handsAfter one day owning the Ford I began working on it, first of all, I have to say that the rear bumper was almost fallen, a headlight was missing and the front and rear fenders were too rusty, so they would are hard to fix, so I had the great idea of making them on fiberglass, with the side skirts obviously but that will be done in the future. On the first day of working I dismounted the front end panels, then I was able to pull the engine right off the engine bay, to do that I called a couple friends because I could not do it alone, if there's a good thing there's a bad thing, In the course accidentally I broke the camshaft cover but it's indifferent, I'll try to rebuild the engine by myself but first I need to take it to a rectify, a couple of hours later I undid the electric system that was coming from the interior, the cables were bitten by the rodents, that's a bad thing too, but nevertheless I have to do it all over again.In the next day I finished dismounting the rear fenders with their respective lights and cables, dismount the windshield and the passenger's window because the other ones were missing, I broke the passenger window (accidentally again), I know it was bad days somewhere, but it seems good knowing that I will replace them. There's three more things that I have done, I dismounted the seat from the interior, then I saw that the seat was cracked in parts that I had not managed to see before, anyway that's fixable, I dismantled the rear bumper and I've decided to take off the grill because it was too ugly for me, so I'll try to modify it and give him a good looking, also I will apply the same thing to the bumper and the front light support, which only have a little bit of rust and dirt.At the Third day of working I called the tow truck to move the car from my house to the panelist, which I know because some friends have left their cars there in recent years, in the same way, my dad know the man who do the fiberglass work, so I will have a tolerable relationship with both persons.(These photos are at the panelist's headquarters)I have to mention that the front end suspension was covered by a nylon, then I realized it was in good conditions in relation with the days it was stopped and the fact that was covered it's very strange, this whole thing means that I can rework it easily, anyway I have to take the car to a alignment session later.That's all for today's update, after this phase the car will look awesome, that's because it would be wearing a fresh coat of paint! Nobody knows what color will be (including me (?). See you later.(EDIT: by panelist I refer to the guy who fixes imperfections of the body, rust, paints the car, etc.) This post was edited by Wypple (2019-05-04 18:02, ago) |

# Nightrunner : VR6 swap when UwU -Can be my frustated dream? xD, you know what, I like the idea but here in Argentina there are like 5 or 6 cars with that engine, in a nutshell: it's almost impossible, However in the next years I can manage to get one. |

To be honest I'm a chevy fan but if you really like cars there's no reason to make fights for see which brand is better (That's my opinion). # Soju : This looks really fresh imo -Yeah! I like sober cars so much. - Thanks both of you guys -
