ok my OFFICAL project thread. from day 1 to the end. lets not clutter it up and "try" and stay SOMEWHAT on topic here.
this will not be my true dailt driver.. i will daily drive my truck..now the red ranger. and drive this alot in the summer spring and fall. bad weather.. it stays home. which is a major plus to me. as my projects can take as long as i like.
what im starting with
89 Mustang 5.0 convert.
BLACK exterior.
BLACK top.
dark grey ( tweed ) interior
slushbox-O-matic
stock 5.0
so far all ive done is paint my extra set of wheels with the road racing tires on them .they look much better then the ugly American racing wheels on there right now. will be put on tomm.
so for right now the ASAP to do list.
-Needs cleaned a detailed BAD has been stored and drove very little and not washed at all in the past 2 years...( it shows )
-Remove nasty autozone tips!!!
-swap wheels and tires.
-remove headlights...drain water..polish..put back on for now..
also..picked up a rear end from a 93 cobra.. already has had the brakes pulled off but has 3.73's in it that have 10k on them and 43k on the whole rear.
see i told you i wouldn't be able to leave it alone!
thats my "to do" list for tomm afternoon.
as it sits right now. the mods it has that i can tell right off the back..
-DynoMax Catback.... it will do for now....
thats it. other then that starting out with an amazing starter of a project and for only $1,500 i could not afford to pass it up.
as it sits now...im thinking i will keep this for a while. i like it.. its in great shape for what it is and i could have some true fun with it!
5 speed swap...is a FOR SURE thing. just a matter of when i get all the parts collected as im going to do it on the cheap.
5 lug swap is a FOR SURE thing as well..i want some better brakes on this one with the ass holes that drive in Ohio...not to mention..i would like to be able to avoid what happened to my last one...and not see it happen to this one.
and yeah i know..i cant leave anything alone. so im sure the interior will be getting "somewhat" of a make over. black and grey two toned.
ill get engine bay and interior shots for befores tomm and add them..
