Let the mayhem begin!!!

So I decided rather than sell my 93 coupe I'd go ahead and fix it...first off a little background as to why there is no motor in it. The car originally belonged to my stepfather, well his sister who frequently drag raced needed an engine for her stang because she blew hers. So....he let her use the coupes motor, which she decided to sell with her car rather than give it back! lol so the car has sat for the past several years until I decided that I wanted it. I got it for $1000 bucks!!! Believe it or not the car actually has 58K miles and no rust. Anyways I figured by starting this thread it'll keep my butt in gear on getting the car done lol. Heres the work so far!

The car itself

The start of the engine bay repainting

And a nice little reminder of why you should always wear head gear head meeting metal=ouch!!!

im about to start stipping my bay. ( just put the motor out of it on the stand bout 40 mins ago. lol ) what did you use to make sure all the cheicals were off so that the primer would stick?

I usually do a good wipe with acetone to get any residue off.

Well the directions on the can stated that after you use the chemical you should spray all of the remaining product off with a hose or some type of cleaning solution and after that just let it dry...thats wat I did and the paint adhered to the metal very well

Lookin good, nice work.

I made a huge step towards gettin the coupe back on the road today...I picked me up a donor car for everything I need. lol I kinda feel bad about taking it apart because its a really nice ride, but I think after i pull the parts needed im just gonna throw another engine back in it so I have two stangs
Here it is!

I made a trip over to the shop today to get a few quick shot of the bay. The color in the photo doesnt even look similar to reef blue, more like a bimini blue or something...but I assure you its the same in person. Enjoy!

The waiting game has began...I cant go any further with the coupe until my parts I odered arrive, grrr! lol While the stuff I need isnt here yet, a few non essential pieces did show up today. On the left we have a Ram clutch kit and to the right we have a Professional Products 70mm throttle body
