my site and rebuilding car questions...

Postby Jared » Tue Mar 13, 2007 2:15 pm

Hi all, as some of you may remember I inherited an old 1965 mercury comet a few years ago and have been slowly working on it to improve it and restore it to original condition in the end.

I created a web-site with pictures and more information about the car:
http://www.todolist.servebbs.com/Jareds%20Site/

Anyone know where to find more information about rebuilding the 289 engine and c4 transmission?
