Ford Thunderbird Convertible 1960

It is undergoing a very slow restoration

I bought it in Florida 1988. Previous owner had tried to restore it. The engine was stuck and some rust was very poorly welded. All interior and some pieces of the top mechanism was missing. I have replaced the 352"engine with one from a -59 (running good) and bought the missing parts for the interior.

Cassie number: OY73Y165834, Color code ?? but I think it was white originally.
The car is equipped with Power steering, Power brakes and radio.(very poor, would like power windows on a convertible)
The first thing to make it driveable is to fix the brakes.
Swedish registration number PCW 600.

The car looks rather good on the photos, you can't see that it is rusted in floor.
Front view:

When I got it home:
