Rebuilding Dorrie
Today I finally made it, fetching Dorrie from the container to the place where I can work on her. A full rebuild is planned as she is currently in bits, only partly restored. Progress will be rather slow, since it will mainly be evenings or weekends I can work on her for a couple of hours.
What did already happen?
Ade already helped me out with a complete Phaeton shell, which I was able to collect on the same weekend as the AGM and Stoneleigh were. So one day Dorrie will wear the Phaeton smile again. But before a lot of other things need to be occupied.
This blog is supposed to sum up the rebuild from start to the end.

At first I'll need a few looks of you concerning identifying the parts that were contained with the car. One of the things I'm not able to identify is the gearbox. It is a 5 speed Ford Type 9 with 23 spline, bolting straight on my Crossflow. Odd thing is, it has a fixed / inegral bell housing. Anyone knows about such a gearbox? Is it a later model?
