Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

[Private_collector]

Drove to see a fellow who has a number of bits which I need, including engines.
No engines rebuilt but may easy runners with minimal work needed.
An engine would cost me $1000, but includes gearbox, carb & filters (air and oil), distributor, generator, starter and spark lead piping. At present, this is above the amount I can budget for, so I will continue to look around.

One engine has been removed from vehicle by cutting chassis fore & aft. This one has the brake booster on the chassis bit still. Can anyone advise what prices Bendix brake boosters have been bought for?

The major coup of the day was this set of seat upholstery, which I have now started to clean up. Seat bases will be sent to blaster on Mon or Tues & I should have them back by the weeekend. I have put the nose panel in for blasting last week & this is now ready for pickup. Nose will definately require some metal work, including plating of 2x holes, one each side where I suspect non original turn signal lights were wired or bolted.

I also bought some seat springs & rings, repairable left side guard, another cab step with brackets & was given a good speedo cable.
