Melbourne area stangs

  • Sponsors (?)


Hey,

I'm going to be relocating my family from NY ( Yeah i know, another New Yorker :notnice: )to the Suntree area of Melbourne in a few months. I just wanted to say hi. I will be down there no later than the 1st of June. I hear you have a great autoX events in the area and I am looking foward to making some new friends. :nice:

Glad to see you're making it down here Rob. I know you've been talking about it for awhile. Did you guys decide to have the house built up on Merrit?

No, I backed out of that deal. The contractor was not being very fair with his pricing. He wanted to charge me $150 a square foot for the construction. And that was with basic products, nothing fancy. :notnice:

Here is a link to the place where I will have a house built.

Saw Grass Keys

Lot# 52 is the one we picked. I will not be done till early 2005. :bang:

For anyone who's interested, my intake came in the other day. :D

YEY

Finally got the stang back from the body shop and snapped some pics of it. It currently has a bunch of swirl marks in it from wet sanding and buffing, and has yet to have it's final sand and polish...but I figured I post acouple before and after. It's PPG black basecoat with a 3-color, color shifting pearl (hard to see due to the swirl marks). Hey, it's finally all one color again! :banana:

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Glenn- Yes, I'm in the market for a new hood now. I'm torn between a 00R hood for that modern edge or a 95R for that classic crystal white R look. I'll probably go with the 95 style.

David- Yeah, I'll be keeping the car for at least a little while now. All the suspension stuff has been on the car for a few months now and I've been pretty happy with it. The rear likes to get a little loose (front has too much grip) but that will be addressed soon enough. Now if I could only get some time to get it on the damn track!!!

BTW Glenn, the 10th is out for sure (damn!).
