65 Valiant Signet convertible project; where to start?

The correct early A motor mount brackets should solve the crooked problem. A later oil pan may or may not interfere with the K frame; it does have a a pair of good size clearance bumps on either side of the pan for clearance for the idler/pitman arm/ and maybe the tie rod.

Electronic ignition is a great idea and pretty simple to do. Been discussed at length and a search should find them. Auto Custom Carpets makes a great product but IIRC will not sell to the general public. Order the carpet from StockInteriors.com; the carpet will come in an ACC box.

Everyone likes pics so posted them and they'll also help you as well.

PS: I parted out a 65 Signet convertible a few years ago and still have the trim that goes around the back window for sale.
