Well the turboford has been parked almost all summer due to time, money and the lack there of. Having it parked has allowed me to look at it more like a project car, rather than a daily driver....which is quite nice.
so far i havent done much to the motor (yikes, requires money!) but i have started a black interior convertion, i also installed a small amp/sub setup. (easily removed for track times). Anyways, here is a couple of pictures of the dash going in....

Ps:after doing the heater core, pulling/installing the dash happens in quick order! 30mins!





and last but not least....the life of a turboford...




Ill see if i can take a few more pictures when its backtogether and the bugs are worked out. So far i have found a few differences between 90-93 dashes and 87-89 dash.
1: fuse box isnt cut out
2:a/c controls are mounted differntly

question: did you dye the dash black? or just buy a black one?

Awsome. You really should just get the T3 back on so you can enjoy driving it again.

My original black dash didn't stay black.

I had an air freshener that was supposed to be car friendly but it fell over and the oil leaked onto my dash. Cleaned it up 2 minutes later and there went the paint. Big grey blotches now

I believe that is because all the factory plastic interior components begin life as grey castings. They are then painted at the factory the correct interior colors. My factory red shifter cosolr shows grey beneath(409 is some harsh stuff).

HI WOODSTER! CAR PROJECT IS LOOKIN' GOOD MAN!!!!!!!
