[SBCriss]

Well, i think it's time to open a thread of my mustang project, which will start tomorrow :D You can see the car in my sig. I bought it for 3000euros. Tomorrow is THE DAY :D

 

Will put some pics in here when i have the car ;)

[TDUFREAK500]

good luck looks like it is going to be quite a bit of work

[GTAMADDOG]

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 ;)

[Car Freak]

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]

Haha :D thanks guys, i'm so excited, im sure i wont sleep tonight :lol:

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

[cis4care]

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

[Penfold]

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]

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]

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

Mmmm... sounds great. Can't wait to see it.

[Jazzi]

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

[ScoobSTi]

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]

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

[Car Freak]

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]

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.
