a quick run through would be.... its a 1990 notchback... the car started off as a 4 banger, automatic.. i found it in the local junkyard, and bought it for $500. i started tearing it down, and figured i would improve its looks a bit... engine bay was a mess....
(after 1st pull...)
(the second time cleaning up engine bay.. i filled in the fenders the summer before, but painted black then... now i finally matched the color...)
bare metal....
started the filler work... (and a lil tribute to a great girl, and my motivation)
painted.. (no airbrush/clear yet)
a little airbrush... (msd/coil is actually wired at this point..) all wires were hidden..
while the engine bay is being worked on.. i fixed the nose after a 4 wheeler accident... grr.... (just got the grill) so here is my new cobra insert...
i also pulled the rear end for gears... por-15'd the whole bottom, and installed torque box reinforcements...
started tearing apart the interior...
interior was blue/had to move door handles for something a lil different... so...
the reason for moving the handles...
what do do about the guages?
ok... the autometer speedo is like $400... then you have to buy a speed sensor... my solution? a $120 gps... not only does it tell my speed... but i also know where im going if i chose that option...
rollcage installed/painted..
seats installed/dash finally fitted... (p.i.a.)
as of this evening... 6/1/08
ok... back a lil in time to when i first finished up painting the shortblock, and stuff...
head...
as it looks now... compared to my father's car... (36,000 miles 87' vert..)
a quick pic of the 1st time it was done... (engine mostly stock)
i am on a deadline for stangweek, so it will not be supercharged, like i had hoped then... but will be turbocharged this winter, if everything goes as planned... and my white car should be getting a mod motor... (quad cam 4.6) all aluminum...
lemme know what ya guys tink!! lol..
