    My 89 Hatch resto build thread

    i dunno man, there was something growing in the rear floorboard... The panels in the hatch are pretty jacked up too. I have an upholstery guy that said he would recover the seats in black leather and grey cloth for $300 bucks, so that seems to be the best bet. I am gonig to keep all the panels...

    All the car needed when i sold it to him was a paint job and the interior cleaned up. Car ran like a champ. Here is a photo i took right before I sold it to him. He was a junior Marine of mine and loved 5.0's. I sold him the car for 1500 bucks. He tried to fix it up on his own and all...

    My 89 Hatch resto build thread

    I've completed WAY worse. Here is my Ranger I built then gave to my little brother. We did all this at our Hot Rod shop in Frankfort, KY. All this was done in 6 days. 210 man hous in 6 days between 2 people. sucked, but the end result was worth it.

    yea, next is the carpet and headliner. I was going to take my shop vac to the interior, but hell with that. A new carpet kit is less than 200 bucks shipped, I'll go with that.

    Picked up some new parts for the car, got a set of power seats from a 95 GT, Cervini's Cobra insert, ball joint, and tierod kit, GT Taillights, new grey door panels, new lock set, and a set of new fog lights for the GT kit. I had to cut the tips off the flowmaster kit to fit the GT rear bumper...

    My 89 Hatch resto build thread

    I got the parts of the GT kit on, and replaced the passenger side fender along with covering up that disgusting red stripe. As you can see, the hood was sitting on top the fender. This was due to the inner fender well being damaged over its lifetime. I simply filed out the fender mounting...

    I got a transmission from a 93 Thunderbird, and when i went to put it in, the shifter on the side of the transmission didn't work correctly with the mustang shifter linkage. The TV cable was readjusted for the car, and I got the batter charged and fired the car up. It will still shift into...

    My 89 Hatch resto build thread

    Hey everyone, I just thought i would post up a build thread of what exactly i am working on. I bought the car in January of 09, and a friend of mine wanted to buy it, so i sold it to him in April of 09. The day after he bought it, he blew it up racing it. He had the motor rebuilt, then blew the...

    couldn't you run some black mesh behind and hide the hood latch that way? I know it would still be somewhat visable, but if you black out everything, i just think it would look really clean without the running pony.

    89 5.0 running VERY rough

    Hello everyone, I have been trying to get my car to run, and run well for that late little bit, but seem to be failing horribly. I have set the timing in the car twice, all the wires are good, the plugs are good, and all the vaccum lines are connected. For some reason it is still having a hard...
