Ahh, good man. I was getting saddened looking at your signature with a poor old Mustang waiting to be restored in it.

Looking forward to updates on the restoration ;)

I think this might be the first time someone's attempted something like this here at TDUC... Good luck, and I'll be following this with interest :D

SBCriss · August 24, 2010

BAD NEWS: also if the car is finished in 2 years, i can't drive it :/ in 2 years im 17 :P

Wow.. Good luck with this, looks like you're going to need it. It's quite a sad looking car there... Or is it just the outside?

Well, i hope this gets finished, and don't worry, you can drive it in your backyard xD

Looks like you've got youself a good project there, best of luck with it. It will be great to be able to drive something you've put you heart into when you are finally old enough.

Nice one, I can't say I'm not jealous!

Good luck with it.

*moves to the showroom*

CLR-GTR · August 27, 2010

Lol @ Beer Me decal.

Looks good.. for the fact it's in pieces now xD Are you going to change interior or exterior colors? Imo blue shouts for white or black interiors.

SBCriss · August 27, 2010

Ill paint the car blue with maybe black stripes, like the mach 1 stripes

And interior will be black ;)

Thx for moving to the righ section :D

Jazzi · August 28, 2010

Wow. I'd love to have a proj like that. Good luck! She's a beaut ;)

ScoobSTi · August 29, 2010

I thought it had the crap new old New York license plate on the front of it (from your sig) but it has Arizona plates. Damn! I would want to see that around NY. :(

Awesome car! I love watching restoration projects, especially with Mustangs, unless they get all riced out with stickers, chrome, tape and plastic. Hope you don't do all that! Some chrome is fine though, whatever, do what you like.

Off topic: What I meant by the crap new old New York plates is this. This plate is the current plate, and this was the previous plate. See the dramatic horrifying difference? My dad says the current plate is the same or similar to the NY plates about 20 years ago. :fp: When I get a car, it might have that ugly plate.

T0M722 · August 29, 2010

^ Eww, I wouldn't want that on my car... :|

Car Freak · August 29, 2010

Hmmm it's an automatic :( New rims look good though

Was this a runner when you got it, and what engine's it got?

SBCriss · August 29, 2010

When i drive this ill have one of these plates on my car: new plate or old one

Well yes, it's an automatic BUT i will change that 200%, but that will be expenisive.. i'll probably built it into a manuel when i get a job and when i earn some money. By now, i'm still a student and only get money for birthday or christmas :p

The engine is a 351 Clevland, V8 (what else? :p), 5.8L , abou 300HP

Tomorrow will will take the engine out of the 'stang, and start to restore the engine :D

You, sir, have my infinite respect! This project, and doing it by hand with a pre-working-days budget? That's something not many people can even try to do.
