'67 Ford Mustang Coupe Project

[SBCriss]

;348969']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.

Haha thanks :D Yes this is a car that won't be finished tomorrow, or in 2 years.. If me and my dad would have the money, we would restore that car in less then 8 months. But hey, that isn't even fun anymore, when you restore a car in such a short time ;)

 

 

A 351 Clevland !! Yeaah ! :D :cool: I only have a 289... :cry: (mais c'est déjà pas mal ;))

 

 

You have a Mustang? :D please send me your msn (or email) address, then you can show me pics of your 'stang :D

 

Man, I MUST drop by for a visit if I'm ever in the area...

 

 

Well you live in Singapore and I live in Luxemburg, that's a hella long distance :p

Wow! Good luck with your project. It looks great so far. I've always wanted to restore a old Mustang like that but I just dont' have the time or money :crying: Oh well. Someday! Good luck! :thumbsup:

Dude, in the states the mustangs are much cheaper then the one here in europe. But the americans know that their mustang are bought by european guys for like 3000$. And now they make the stangs expensiver.. So if you want to buy one, i think now is the last chance that you can buy one for good price..

If you want i can look on the internet to find a cheap one for you ;) you live in texas right?

 

Here you got one for only 600$ clicky!

 

I dont know what year ur looking for but here you will find one ;)

[SBCriss]

Here some new shots, only thing left in the car is the engine, everything out :) No electricity, no windows...

I'll go in vacation on friday, so it doesnt make sense to take out the engine.. So we decided to restore some little details:

I just can't afford all of the parts. I'm getting a new car soon so I need that money for it. Also, nice progress! I'm lovin the pony badge!

[SBCriss]

Thanks for your support guys :D And @86GT: Well what's your new car then? :p Maybe one day you will buy a stang, who knows ;) Here some new pics of the restoration, backlights and frontlights are now restored, [B]BUT[/B] the backlights doesnt look so good anymore (which is ok after 43 years :lol:).. The 2 backlights cost about 300€, which is really expensive for 2 lights.. Well here the pics, worked 2 hours on them today: Before: -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- After: -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

this is really starting to come along the lights and details look great, how many pieces is it in at the moment because my Grandad's Triumph "Bath Tub" is about a 150 pieces at the moment

[SBCriss]

Do you mean how many pieces are in the car right now, or how many pieces are already restored?

[Car Freak]

I think what he meant was, that his Triumph is in 150 pieces ;)

 

Nice progress on your 'Stang though... BTW, is that a Mazda 2 in the background of your second pic?

[Sponge]

She's looking awesome! I'd recommend a product called "Brasso" (Not sure if you Americans have it though!) Shines up most metals to a gorgeous shine.
