Progress Thread 1985 Gt I Finally Have A T Top Car.

I like that stance. Perfect.

And yeah, the rear tires sit perfect with the SN95 axles and 17x8 wheels

GroverDill · Jun 29, 2017

To be clear, I did not use isolators on the springs ( front or rear, top or bottom ). I do have the weight jacker rear lowers so I can adjust the rear ride height.

So if the front ride height is too low I can add the isolators to raise it up a tad. The stance looks good, I absolutely would not want to be any lower.

Mustang5L5 · Jun 29, 2017

I'll prob run the isos. I have the same weight jackers out back, so I can adjust the height back there. I love having those arms as they have been great at adjusting rear height through my various tire/spring combos I've run out back.

I have 85 gt t top black also, all original, i been thinking get rid of it cause its a hatchback, i want to keep only 1 mustang ( currently own 3 ) and i want a notch ( reget sold a white notch back then ).

@GroverDill , that turned out really damn well. Those wheels fit perfectly, and the stance rocks. I really like it, even after first thinking the Cobra wheels werent right for the car. They look right at home now that its done.

GroverDill · Jun 30, 2017

Yeah I like it enough that looking for other wheels has taken a major backseat.

Now about that terrible exhaust!

Looks amazing!
Are you missing a seat?

GroverDill · Jun 30, 2017

No, actually the interior is pretty damn nice in it. It was leaned back as I was doing a temp fix on the busted center console armrest ( see picture- before the fix)

GroverDill · Jun 30, 2017

Bye bye ugly steering wheel
note less cracked looking center armrest, not sure if the fix will last but hey, it is better than it was

Davedacarpainter · Jul 1, 2017

That's really a beautiful mustang.

I assume it drives pretty nice now with the mods you did.

Anything big (drivetrain) in the future? Or just enjoy it for a while after you install the exhaust?

stangboy · Jul 1, 2017

That stance is PERFECT!!

General karthief · Jul 1, 2017

It would look better in my driveway, just say'n.

NIKwoaC · Jul 1, 2017

Dude, the car looks amazing! That interior is mint, really drives home the point that I need to do something about my stained, worn out mess.

Is it weird that I'm a little jealous that you have a carb'd car? Haha. Something about carbureted cars (that are actually supposed to be carbureted) just feel more hot rod.

GroverDill · Jul 1, 2017

Thanks guys, I actually have not driven it at all yet. Still am not quite done with the new master cylinder and of course need brakes bleed and rear diff gear oil.

Needs outside door belt moldings, they are trashed. I strongly dislike the shifter knob, I thought I had a stock one somewhere, cant find it!

Another order to LMR

Belt moldings
x pipe, with hangers
trans crossmember
some rubber hangers

I still need a catback and am leaning towards magnaflow street, I wanted the walker super turbo but cant find it anywhere anymore

What catback is the most mellow sounding ?

Edit. the existing cheery bomb set up has a bunch of small rust holes in the piping so its days are numbered. Not the mention that stock set up brings shame to the entire Mustang family.

Magnaflow still gets my vote brother, borla or bassani if you don't mind the cash. In all truthfulness, if you want to piece together your own system, Dynomax mufflers are hard to beat for good flow and mellow sound.

Guess who just ordered the magnaflow catback

Found it for 458 bucks form sport compact wharehouse

Going to remove all the vacuum and unneeded garbage I can
