@@INTHEGARAGEwithGraham my first car was a Ford v8 Windsor auto. I used to drag the guys down at the Port in Brisbane in the 80s. I rebuilt the motor and sprayed painted it. Sold it to hide from my ex. I'm a woman btw.

Hi Graham good to see ya back mate on the boot seal use only Bosch mastic as it always stays soft and never use silicone it creates rust and corrosion as for windscreen the old Ford's use a no5 bostic kit which U heat up with a battery charger to put in as they have an element inside seal or you can convert to urethane if you can prop up screen with small bits of rubber blocks and cut to size to suit car looks good for it's age

So the cross-flow that's in the old girl is an iron head? I always thought cross-flows were all alloy head. Thanks Graham for great content!

[@INTHEGARAGEwithGraham]

Nice of you to say. Your welcome👍

[@adamc4655]

I reckon she looks fine now you've got most of the yellow off

[@INTHEGARAGEwithGraham]

[@lancehill9971]

On old acrylic enamel a wool buff pad will work the best

[@guypoole3444]

The yellow was probably British Primer to stop further Rust....
