Ok, so my Ex husband and his brothers had this bright Idea back in the early '90s to take a Mercury Capri and turn it into a Mustang. They were successful and to be quite honest, the car looked fabulous. It took several junked aero Stangs to build this car, hence the name, FrankenStang.
I don't have many pictures but, here are the few I have...
The one and only pic I have of it before the aero stuff was installed
After paint
As you can see, it was built with care and not just cobbled together. The interior was swapped also, as well as the drive train/suspension. EVERYTHING on this car is '87+ Mustang. The 5.0 that was put in is an '89+ because it's mass air. I'll be keeping the engine.
The interior needs restored so, I might as well go retro there too.
Needs cleaned up but, runs strong
As it sits today. I removed the side and rear Saleen ground effects in '96, I believe. They were cracking.
At this time, I am merely hunting and gathering parts. I should have the nose in a week or two, complete with headlights and reinforcement. I'll post pics of the parts as they come.. Here's the front end I should see on my doorstep soon. A couple guys on here, BK_CAULEY and Aaron (you guys rule!), pitched in and bought it for me cause, yeah, I'm a whiner, lol.

These two just might become a part of this project
My goal is something close to this
I want to add one of these too
My first "parts" shipment just arrived!
