Well, i got this car a year ago from Mike (MSM0075). I drove it for awhile, it runs and drives great, although it wasn't the prettiest car ever (though it looked great when viewed from certian angles) Well, last december a nice big buck decided to run out in front of me. Damage wasnt awful, but enough. Needed a new bumper cover, drivers fender and hood. However, a chain of events prevented me from fixing the car right away. Over the summer I finally got a chance to dive into it... And this brings us to present day, where I finally have the whole body of the car together. All i need now is a decent paint job, but that will wait for other things such as repairing other odds and ends and some serious upgrading. By springtime I hope to have it finished, stay tuned for those pics What do you guys think?
looks like a great project, im sure you will suprise more then your fair share of people when you let them know they just got owned by a 2.3 mustang...
You were right, it looked great in both shots before the body work. Looks like a real sleeper with the multi-color body now, HaHa. Definitely keep us posted.
Put the pony rims back on it Looks cool with the hood on there, and Im sure it will look even better once ya get some paint on her. Dan
thanks guys...yeah the ponies are in the garage i just gotta get some new tires for them, the turbines were for the snow tires that i got for it last winter. with the T3 pushing 15psi thru a FMIC and 3.73's out back, it should be alot of fun, maybe sneak up on a few unsuspecting stock-ish 5.0's.
Lol my car is gonna look like that when I get around to doing bodywork. I need a new hood, new driver's side fender, both bumper covers, spoiler and maybe hatch, etc etc. I gotta make it fast first, though, before it looks like a complete POS, which is what you seem to be doing too. Brian
im almost done with my fmic install...but i am running 18psi with a ported head and crane cam. And i have a set of 4.10's and i can pull up on subby wrx in full boost quick.
88stangmangt...got any pics of your FMIC install? i wanna get an idea of the bracketry ill need...which IC are you using? i have a ported head and intake...perhaps i can run a bit more boost
yes i do but it doesnt show how i mounted it. just the engine and the ic pipes. there are two platforms with rubber inserts it fit perfect there (in the very front of the nose) the motor is being pulled so i have plunty of time to finalize it. i will post some pics i have tonight.
