Complete Restoration of family owned since new 1986 Mustang GT. Before I owned it, it was purchased new and driven by my second cousin. SHE was a school teacher. This is the car that got me to create and found StangNet.com

I spent 7 years meticulously restoring this Mustang. Less than 100 miles driven since finishing. Time for me to move on to other projects in the stable.

New O2 Sensors
New Borla Mufflers with Flowmaster Stainless Full Factory style tips
No interior drone issues with setup.
New fuel tank, fuel pump and pickup

Nothing was needed. Clutch is good. Trans and syncs are good.

Body

Exterior badges and decals

Interior
Where to begin? If it could be replaced it was.
Converted from Red to Gray interior. Modern OEM grade paint used, does not scratch off

Dash Pad
TMI Interior seat kit and new front foam.
Seat frames detailed and painted.
TMI Headrests
TMI Door panels
TMI Headliner

Kept all original factory insulation


Left to do for new owner if desired:
A/C conversion to R134A with an LMR kit. I built it as a fair weather vehicle and did not consider replacing A/C in the project since the windows would be down. :)

This car never had any modifications done since new. A true survivor. I doubt you will find a more clean and original style restoration.

I picked up a copy of a local car classifieds recently.... An average Fox in good order has an average asking price of $15k these days. :oops:

The better examples were going for upwards of $25 :eek:


You need to do another one and like... now. :D
