Flybye Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Well as many of you know, I got the passed around mustang of a few members on here. I think I got a decent deal on the car and it is pretty solid. BUT isn't in the condition I would prefer. Sooooo I have decided to tear into it and start fresh by making the car "mine". My main focus is the new paint, patch a few small spots on the floor and then the new heart. It will most likely be getting a 5.3 LM7 motor + t76 or S400. Right now im just trying to strip it of the mess, part with what I don't need, and then clean it all up. Here are a few pics I took today..... It is birds nest of wiring and fluid covered hoses http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1413.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1414.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1415.jpg Todays progress with minimal tools (not fully moved in yet) http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1418.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1419.jpg Justin (evilstang) http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1423.jpg I stripped the interior and it will soon be all black. I got really good shape black interior from a friend for free too. I only need the panels and carpet though. I will be removing the sound deadoning next (YAY! can't wait lol) http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1416.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1417.jpg The car does have alot of surface rust starting, but has barely any thin spots. I havent found any ate thruogh except for one small spot behind the drivers seat. This is about a weak or two after I got it. The blue is from the owner before me. He tried to tell me his 2 year old daughter did that with a spray gun when he wasn't looking?lol http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1278.jpg I will keep this thread as updated as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybye Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I got the exhaust, heads and accessories off last night. Im moving kind of slow, but don't have all my tools here. As you can see im working out of my apartment garage. It is just enough room for my build though. I think it is quite cozy to be honest lol. here are a few pics..... http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1436.jpg looks like it is still the 306 with speed pro pistons http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1438.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/seandb20/IMG_1439.jpg Hopefully tomorrow I can get out there and drop the tranny. Then possibly pick up a cheap engine stand. The motor is ready to come out, but im gonna get some other shit done first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
