Too many projects, here's my next one.

I bought this car about 5 years ago. It was junk but had a good engine and T5. I rebuilt the engine and it's in my 90 now, and the T5 is in my 68. I ended up buying another 351w the other day and I started thinking about how besides the swap parts and a few other things, I have almost enough spare parts to finish this car.

I've got a hood, nose, and saleen lower bumper cover laying around, I'm using the T5 I pulled out of a car that was given to me, I'm replacing the door panels, dash and console with some nice ones I have stored away, using the seats out of the 96 I just stripped. I just bought those ponies a couple weeks ago for 60$.

I need to buy flywheel, bellhousing, swap headers and pan, radiator, battery, motor mounts, a windshield , and a few pieces of trim, then do some body work and paint. It does need a radiator support and front inner fender aprons.

Overall, I don't think I'll end up with much money in this one.



Btw, I said I have too many projects because in addition to this one, I also have my 63 Fairlane that I'm working on that needs an engine rebuild and suspension refreshening, and I am going to start doing body work on my 68 coupe in a few months so it will be ready to paint next spring. This is all in addition to keeping the 90 and the 04 running properly.

Nah, it's not near as bad as it looks. Well, I guess it is kind of a lot of work, but I don't mind that so much as sinking a lot of money into it. I won't have much in it so the work part doesn't bother me, I think it's fun, especially if 306Notchback supplies the beer when he comes over to work on it with me.

Pretty good project. I don't think its lots of work as long as it has a solid bottom. Usually when you have a project you end up tearing it apart even more so your about half ways now.LOL
good luck

Well I ordered the oil pan and pickup today, a new crown vic 351w pan is only 68.99. So it should be going in soon, I may make this into a progress thread if it doesn't come together too slow.
