Hey guys and gals,
My name is David and I have been on here for a few months. I bought an abused 1988 GT Hatch back in February. I have had things come up that made me put this build off for a few months (kids' mom battles). Well I'm starting to get cracking on this pony again. Some have told me it isn't worth saving because of the rust and the shape it is in. Some idiot rattle canned in a horrid blue color. I has really bad rust in the frame rails that I will be fixing. I believe any fox that can be saved, should be saved. That is why I am not scrapping this car. It was originally Scarlet red on top with silver ground effects. When I bought the car as a roller it had no motor, trans, driveshaft, computer, fuel tank, and the wiring harnesses caught fire in the engine bay. The interior is in really good shape. Its gray and only has one rip on the side of the driver seat. Back seats look almost new. The car did come with some upgrades. Has upper and lower control arms in the rear, 3:73s, and springs. I don't know what kind of springs or control arms they are, all I know is they are red. Bout a month ago I have been gathering parts to start the build. I have the driveshaft in place with T5 and on saturday i will be picking up a 2000 explorer 5.0. I have bbk shorties and 140 speedo. This will be a slow build because of school and kiddos, but I will be posting progress as I go. I do have all the parts to switch over to the Ex 5.0 to build it.
Will post more as I go.
