The Ford Barn

I've just joined The Ford Barn & figure I should at least say hello. I'm from Australia & have a 1936 5w coupe which is my daily driver. The body is stock & I'm running a 1953 8BA with a 5-speed Toyota gearbox and Borg-warner final drive with 3.32:1 ratio. Regards to all, Peter.

Welcome to Fordbarn Peter, 'the more the merrier'. That's a nice looking car you drive.
I'd like to learn more about your Toyota (Celica?) gearbox set-up, did you have an adaptor made, and where does the gearshifter come thru the floor. Any pic's would be good to see.
