Hello! It's been 17 years since I have had a mustang. My 1st car being a 1982 GT. In 2003 my parents sold it while I was in Iraq without me knowing, which to this day I have no hard feelings towards. Here I am again, going back to what made me happy, but this time with a 1984 mustang GT with a sunroof. As you can see from the picture, it has a newer front end and needs a lot of work. Here is the overview of my plans for it:

  • Maximum Motorsports maximum grip box suspension
  • Going back to 4 eye front end
  • 5 lug conversion with SVE brakes
  • 31 spline axles with rearend gears at 3.73 or 4.10's
  • 363 dart engine, still carburated
  • T56 transmission with 2.66 1st gear
  • Interior restoration
  • Ron Francis wiring harness
  • New instrument cluster from LMR
  • Audio - not sure yet exactly, but it will be very nice
  • Paint and body work. Going with black.
  • Front race seats, nice wheels and tires, etc, etc

I'm guessing it did not come equipped with kids.

I'm sure they're an aftermarket add-on that was installed after purchase.

They love the car as it is "because it smells old".

It was fun getting the add-ons made.

Thank you. It will take me a while to finish, if there is ever such a thing as finishing a project car, but I will take my time to get everything right.

a current project can be "completed" but "Finished" never. I just completed one project and am now entering into the next.
