From Dusty Parts to Race-Ready: Rebuilding a Classic Formula Ford - Part 1

I'm thrilled to officially announce a new series on my channel Too Old and Too Slow! This series will chronicle my journey of rebuilding a 1977 Royale Formula Ford RP24, which I recently acquired in a completely dismantled state. The challenge ahead is not just restoring this classic race car, but also converting it back from its current Formula Ford 2000 setup to its original 1600 spec. In this video, I'll be sharing the exciting news of the project, explaining the condition of the car, and diving into the restoration process. You'll get a first-hand look at what it takes to bring a classic race car back to life. I'll also be providing detailed breakdowns of costs and steps involved, giving you a transparent view of the entire rebuild. This series is going to be packed with winter workshop sessions, parts hunting, mechanical work, and a few surprises along the way. Whether you're a Formula Ford enthusiast, a fan of classic motorsports, or just love seeing a good restoration project come together, this series will be for you. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss any updates, and join me as I take on this ambitious project—because if I can do it, so can you. Let’s see if I’m truly too old and too slow, or if this old racer can still keep up! 🔔 Remember to hit the bell icon so you’re first to know when the next video drops! #FormulaFord #HSCC #ClassicRacing #Motorsport #RoyaleFormulaFord HUGE thank you to Shaws Motorsport for their excellent unwavering support!
