i just wanted to intro myself and give a bit of info about my ride.....or should i say "project".
i have an '87 GT that is currently being taken apart. i anticipate the project taking about a year to complete. i'm going to try and do as much of the work myself as possible. so i'll be asking many, many questions as i go along through the tear down and rebuild. i'll try to keep the "stupid" questions to a minimum since i just found my shop manuals last night I WILL have plenty of questions about what combinations might work or won't work. my intentions for the car are to build a very reliable, very streetable, very clean daily driver. i want to rebuild the motor (unsure if i want to stay with the 302 or run a stroker yet) i do want to add some HP and improve the suspension but it won't be a dedicated race/strip car. at this point the only track time the car will see is some solo II stuff. it will need some interior work and i intend to paint the exterior. the car is actually in pretty good condition overall so at least i'm starting with a total basket case.
i'll see if i still have a couple of pics in my laptop to show what i'm starting from.
thanx in advance for any help/input.
OOPS! looks like i may have already screwed up. i just found the "talk" section, maybe that is where i should have posted this thread?????
