Progress Thread Stangnet's 1986 Gt Project

[95BlueStallion]

That makes sense, thanks for explaining your approach.

 

[SF Lex]

That is a beautiful version of the 86. I have to say it is the best looking one i've seen so far.

 

[Noobz347]

...and?

 

[MRaburn]

Ya I know! Building the new shop and house on the acreage has taken up for time than expected. I am real close to getting this back on the road... I just need to finish the interior and replace the master cylinder. Should not be much longer.

I want it bad on the road but life is busier than I want it to be!

 

[Noobz347]

Video coming soon-ish then. lol

So... What you gonna do about this one, huh? Huh??

 

[MRaburn]

It has been so long since I have been able to turn a wrench! The new home and land has taken all of my labor time... BUT we are knocking on the door of starting back up... my barn/garage is ready to go and she is in the work bay!!

 

[Noobz347]

Spring Madness will be here before you know it! You better set a date or you'll be buried in 'stuff' as it goes right by.

I mean

It's February already

It all goes by toooooooooooooooooooo fast

[MRaburn]

Hah yep. I have everything here... just need to assemble.

Interior from TMI

Exhaust - Im doing a Magnaflow/Flowmaster factory style tip combo
Brakes - New Rotors, calipers etc (Factory style)

you do remember those lift arms go UNDER the car right?

 

[MRaburn]

Maybe...

Keeps me from tripping over them.

 

[RaggedGT]

Stangnet needs an SN car in the fleet next... lol

 

[Noobz347]

I think it needs a Windsor Bronco project.

 

[RaggedGT]

I’d dig that also lol

 

[Noobz347]

Oh, and... Why do the tail lights look wrong?

 

[02 281 GT]

Oh, and... Why do the tail lights look wrong?

The tail lights are correct. I think everyone is just used to seeing that style with the Cobra-style lines on them. Standard tail lights with the ambers didn't have lines.

 

[Noobz347]

... and a thick gray horizontal stripe between the upper and lower lenses.

 

[MRaburn]

Its all factory babe, original lights.

I have the interior from a 2003 Mach 1 I bought back in 2003 stored, the complete interior, carpet, seats, dash, cluster, etc etc... would like to do a 2001 or so in Black with a coyote and that interior.

Bronco? This should be done this summer.... the wife asked for one so I was like, OK.
