So I picked up another mustang a few months back. These things keep finding their ways into my life. I have owned 5 of them now and every single one has left an impact on me. Now I get to build the one I always wanted to. My first car was a 67 mustang that my grandfather tried to give me at 15 but my dad said "no way is that crap going to fill my garage". 17 years later and I finally got mine.
Break down, its originally a T code that was brown. It has an ... OK paint job. the engine was under powered when I got it which I later found out was due to the fact that it chewed through 2 spark plugs. never seen the centers crack out of them but can only assume that didnt help my cylinder walls.
The engine was hurt and a slow drive on a hot day pretty much did her in. Now i have to build a new engine for it ... and while I am at it I might as well change it to a t5 5 speed, do an 8.8 swap, and modernize the suspension. the fact is that this is a T code 6 banger car that has already been reworked so I might as well make it what I want. At the end I hope to daily it during nice days.
With all of that said I thought I would start making some youtube videos to show the entire build. I know I am not a pro and honestly have no idea what I am doing half the time, but figured if someone else can learn from them it might be worth it. Let me know what you all think ... I know the flaming is coming, I have been a member for far to long not to expect it
for example, i know its a lifter valley and not an oil valley but hey you try talking to a camera ... its freaking weird feeling.
I already did episode 1 and 2
