Project "BlackOut" 89 convert.

Recommended Posts

ok my OFFICAL project thread. from day 1 to the end.

 

this will not be my true daily driver.. i will daily drive my truck..now the red ranger. and drive this alot in the summer spring and fall. bad weather.. it stays home. which is a major plus to me. as my projects can take as long as i like.

 

 

 

what im starting with

 

89 Mustang 5.0 convert.

BLACK exterior.

BLACK top.

dark grey ( tweed ) interior

slushbox-O-matic :notnice:

stock 5.0

 

so far all ive done is paint my extra set of wheels with the road racing tires on them .they look much better then the ugly American racing wheels on there right now. will be put on tomm.

 

 

so for right now the ASAP to do list.

 

-Needs cleaned a detailed BAD has been stored and drove very little and not washed at all in the past 2 years...( it shows )

-Remove nasty autozone tips!!! :notnice: FTL

-swap wheels and tires.

-remove headlights...drain water..polish..put back on for now..

 

 

 

 

 

thats my "to do" list for tomm afternoon.

 

 

as it sits right now. the mods it has that i can tell right off the back..

 

-DynoMax Catback.... it will do for now.... :shrug:

 

thats it. other then that starting out with an amazing starter of a project and for only $1,500 i could not afford to pass it up.

 

as it sits now...im thinking i will keep this for a while. i like it.. its in great shape for what it is and i could have some true fun with it!

 

5 speed swap...is a FOR SURE thing. just a matter of when i get all the parts collected as im going to do it on the cheap.

 

5 lug swap is a FOR SURE thing as well..i want some better brakes on this one with the ass holes that drive in Ohio...not to mention..i would like to be able to avoid what happened to my last one...

 

and yeah i know..i cant leave anything alone. so im sure the interior will be getting "somewhat" of a make over. black and grey two toned. :shrug:

yupp. i work today till like 11 but i Saturday some time..evening i got plans.

 

 

i can get those headlights buffed out as well...

also you need better wheels lol.

 

if you need any help with info on the 5 spd swap i can help ya, and i can locate swap parts for you too.

you missed out on all the swap parts i just had

 

yeah. ill pm you in a few. thanks. id like to see that t-top of yours.. i saw it tucked back in the garage a few nights ago with the hood up.

 

 

Ryan i can help you get that buffed out and looking good.

 

ill show you a few things as well. PM me for more info.

i can swing by and take a look at it sunday.

 

thanks. ill pm you bro.

 

 

got the headlight drained and sealed back up but there yellowed. so i would like to get them looking halfway decent for the time being.

 

and i think 5 lug swap will be first as im getting a rear end from a guy with 3.73's and will get the 5 lug axles in there before i put the rear end in. then probably just mark 7 rotors for the time being unless i can find the sn95 front and just go that route. then to decide what wheels to use..i think polished or chrome bullets would look sick..but be common. depends whats for sale at that time i guess!

 

ill get pics up later. gotta get to work.

 

Ryan.

what happened to your mustang that you were working on a while ago?

 

 

on my way to school ( yes im young ) a girl failed to yield pulled out in front of me and totaled it. my mom was bitching to my dad so i was forced to sell it so she would stfu. :mad: her fault. in the end i got about 4,300 from her insurance for it.

Ryan if you don't feel like doing the the 5speed swap (I wouldn't in a convert) the Pa performance valve body works SUPER well. it shifts harder than most people can shift a stick. Your old car whould bark the tires into 2nd and third.

 

I might be able to arange for a test drive of her if you like
