Finally caught up to where the car sits today.

Started sanding down the rear bumper

Turns out it is a mystic rear bumper, seems like a shame to sand off such expensive paint.




Rolled the fender lips, no worries about cracking any paint

Powdercoated the bumper bar...why not?

Reclocked the fan so my wires can come in from the bottom and poured a little paint on it.

Next up, time to tackle the engine bay.

Thanks!

Here is the Canton oil pan off my old car after cleaning the grime off.

Then blasted

Should have it powder coated in the next couple of days

That should look real nice. I agree it must have sucked sanding down all the mystic paint off the bumper but it will look really good in the end as well.

Thanks Mark and good eye.

I hesitated to post pics of the replacement GT since this is in the 94-95 forums but I guess since I posted some of the old one, I may as well.

Got the car in September of last year thanks to my good friend, Jason, who actually found it. I almost bought a Camaro when I was in high school because I wanted a t-top car so bad, but lucky for me, I came to my senses and ending up with the 88 GT that I lost in the fire. So with a second chance....




My attempt to put a nice backdrop in the photo

This is where I got the Recaro seat idea for my 94 build




Ive had the car for about 6 months and have only done some paint work, wetsand and buff and minor stuff. The car already had a full Maximum Motorsports suspension under it. So Ive really just enjoyed driving it.

The fox is just , congrats on the find. Yeah, you mentioned you loved the full Maximum Motorsports suspension under your fox, which has helped influence your Sn95 build. Keep up the good work!

Thats called balancing Karma. You lost 2 great cars. You end up with 2 great cars. I like that theyll both be black and that fox is so nice. I love a ttop gt.

Wow that fox is awesome. A Fox hatchback done right is my favorite mustang by far.

Great looking fox but I think I'm going to end up liking the SN95 more.

^^^^^^^
Thanks guys, really appreciate it.

I too have a soft spot for the 94-95's

Started working on the engine bay

Went ahead and mocked up the 4 bolt MM caster camber plates and made my holes.

Then started making some plates to fill holes. Plasma cutters make life so much easier.

Also started prepping for some welding.

I had to get on a side job that I got in. Mainly took the job because I finally found the wheels I always wanted for the 94 Cobra and in order to be able to afford them....I need to do some side work.

So in a few days, I will be updating this with my new wheels, but progress on the 94 will have to stop for a couple of weeks.

In the mean time I will be putting full floor pans, trunk pans, and a quarter in this rust bucket. May also be media blasting this thing as well. We'll see?

You need to keep us updated on that one too.

I'm sure I'll be asking questions, cause my 66 will probably need floor pans.

Sure, be happy to help with your 66.
Lots of parts ready to powder tomorrow. Most of these parts are for the 94 project
