I bought this car in March of 2010, on my wife's birthday of all days. I intended to get it running and driving within a few months, and play around with it. It snowballed a little, got put on the back burner a few times, and now is finally getting close to completion.
I never started a build thread for the car on this site, but I have posted pics of it a few times through its stages. So I decided to start this thread to document the progress (and lack of progress) over the last 6 years.
I bought the car from a friend for $400. The engine was intact but had a rod knock, and the trans was missing. Car was a factory black 86 GT with gray interior and 5speed. High mileage and in kinda rough shape, But with no rust underneath and very sold floors and chassis.
This is a pic of the car the day I went to look at it.
