    My 82 project. *Lots of pics*

    I have started doing the electrics. Actually I only have torn some old wires away. Also sanded all the surface rust off from the footwells(not sure of the word, but you'll see picture later), and coated that with zinc paint. I also cut a thick piece of metal where to mount new shifter(B&M...

    I now have the front and rear wheels installed. Installed the 95 GT rear which has sn95 lenght axles. As you can see the wheels fit quite well. Next on my list are either to finish brakes, or start doing some electric work to get the engine running. I had to fabricate a...

    Okey, the engine is in now. I got it in with the new k-member all by myself by lifting the whole car with this kind of setup: The transmission is not supported by the crossmember yet , since the new i don't have new bushings. Yesterday I installed new MM front control arms. Didn't...

    Hello again! Sorry I haven't been updating the thread. I'll give you a brief update of what has happened during these days. Last summer: I wasn't totally happy with the lacquer of the roof. There was quite an orange peel at the middle of the roof, because my hand didn't reach the center...

    I've been a mustang fan from very early age. Don't know why, but Mustangs have fascinated me always. I had some savings from my musical career before i turned 18(age limit to get driving license) and so I bought mustang for my first car. Not too common in Finland. Gasoline is very expensive...

    Looks like my car is getting paint very soon...

    I personally think that would be a awesome look for your car. Hard to tell how would the color look painted, but i strongly recommed trying it. Adding some pearl effect would also be impressive as that paint seems to be so vastly effected by light. Go for it, you can always sand it a bit to...

    Eagle F1 GS-D3 Tires - Good choice?

    Check out this test(http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/features_classic_cars/tire_test_the_quick_and_the_tread_feature), I also ordered these tires for my stang. Should be hooking good enough, tho they tend to be better choice for open road track/auto-cross than for...

    Heres better pics of the engine. Mounted the painted headers, test-fitted the carburetor spacer, and cut the aircleaner stud to proper lenght. Also welded some iron to let the engine stand for its motor mounts, so that I can put the flexplate on, and ''connect'' the engine with...

    Here's some other stuff I picked up last week. FRPP radiator, flexlite fan and Jegs fan thermostar-controller. I fabricated a fan shroud to maximise the efficiency of that fan. Also painted it with some zink-paint, so that it would not rust right away: As I twisted it from 1mm sheel...

    These are the wheels I'm putting on it: Compared to the original? wheel with 195/60-15 tire. These are 18''X10''. I would have like to go with 17'' wheels, but you can't get these in 17'' from the company that made these(wheelreplicas.com). Yes, you can get 17'' Magnum500 from...
