Been a while for an update, nothing done except a good cleaning job since the last update and installing the rear arms...
Quite a few updates coming though First - due to my parents divorcing I will be getting my old engine from a previous build back Sportsman Block 4 bolt mains, 347 Stroker with AFR 205 worked Heads contained in 'mustang talk here so most won't understand" a 1986 4Eye'd Fox Notchback Mustang.
Alot wrong with the way my dad built it but due to budget will be making changes to it slowly - First order of business will be 5 lug swap, Cobra Brakes on front, rear Axle will be getting 31 spline axles along with disk brake conversion, c-clip eliminators and a full spool;-) That will address strenght and braking issues as well as a full range of wheel and tires for it as it's a designated track toy now but will become a Street/Strip car. It's an Auto now but it's built auto so will rock that for a whle until I can afford a 6 speed swap with twin disk etc, after that of course will come Large Single turbo Twins, but that is a lifetime build and will be handed down to one of my 3 kids. As it sits runs 10's and is caged for that level Pretty stoked.
With that knowledge - I will be putting my Cat back on the car and selling the DP/FP, already sold my catch can. Will probably take my Cobra Race intake off and go back to stock on it as well. Will do swaybars, and found my dream wheels and tires for this and currently in conversation for them Right now for this car. If I can land them - hoping to get TODAY, I will not do much else to the car for a WHILE as I officially went out of Warranty today on the way to work! At 36,068 as of arriving at work today Not bad for around 12 months...
Anyway - Pics of the incoming Stang, and of the car as of Sunday as well The BBS's will be coming off and getting Sandblasted but in no hurry at all! Will more than likely refinish them from completely bare metal and then sell them to help finance other items. Car will stay lowered, will move the Sub and stereo upgrades a bit as it will Only serve as Daily if the car deal goes through, but will be doing Fiberglass for the stock location of the rear sub and speakers and going with MB quart replacement components throughout and probably a JL Sub with re-enforcement for the stock location, will measure out the air space for whatever sub I go with.
Anyway, first pic is the Wheels and tires - Rota Grid V in 17x9.5 ET30 on 245/40/17 with new tires. Waiting on the counter offer and if I can pick them up today but have the funds right now and I want an aggressive fit and he Grid V's are some of my favorite wheels of all time, only if they have the concave face though like these do. Will be no other wheel changes once I get these so wish me luck. Will break out the old fender roller and heat gun to ensure fitment though, will also be selling my 20mm spacers SOON if this goes through
