brittish ford Y/junior?

[Swedester]

so I stumbled across a 32-34(not sure wich)ford Junior 2 dr a rolling chassis for a reasonable price,BUT, it´s missing doors front fenders grill and some small stuff,where do i look for those parts?any GB hambers here?

[redoxide]

Your refering to a Y type I think..

A friend of mine has a complete body no chassis but has doors and front end.. He might sell, would have to ask .. The body is not mint by any stretch of the imagination but it is rodable ..

A local guy here has a grille, its like a miniature version from a 34 truck!

I've always liked the Y - they look like 3/4 scale '34 Ford Tudors to me. I also thought a V8-60 would be a neat engine to drop in one - a 3/4 scale flattie for a 3/4 scale Ford! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

When looking for sheetmetal - there's an early & late version. The difference is in the grille shell, but it affects the rest of the front sheet metal (I think). Over here, they're known as short rad/long rad versions - the short rad versions were only the first few years...

Might make a neat gasser a la Topolino!

Hey, Eric! Your vision of a V860 powered Y is happening - and not too far away. Nervous Bob has one planned over in Bury St. Edmunds. Just needs time and space, the rest is all there...
Gasser would be good, along the lines of that white Pop at the Hot Rod drags.

Indeed, Bob dropped by my house the day he picked the Y up. He's got a lot of work ahead but it'll be a stormer when done. I took a photo of it on the trailer, I'll see if I can find it when I get home.

If you're after panels, there is the All Ford Rally this Sunday in Abingdon near Oxford. This is the major classic Ford event of the year.

Hey mates, send some pictures and let the rest of the world in on it.

This is advertised for sale on the UK NSRA site at the moment.

[monkeybiker]

Artiki, that's quite similar to the one Bob had before, little lower, not as chopped. Haven't seen it since he sold it, and don't have a picture.

[monkeybiker]

Found it - but that's not Nervous Bob!

Is that at Meigle by any chance... so YOU'RE his friend http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

douglas its the same car but its not in meigle now, its not been there for a while now...

[Douglas]

It's a while since I've been there. As a strange coincidence, the Y pictured above - if you look carefully, the aforementioned Meigle resident is in the driving seat of the Y ; I know 'cause I took the pic! --- and completely boring so I'll get me coat http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
