So I havent wanted to post my thread on here for a while because I was doing more restoring then, improvements to my ride but since the resto parts almost done I figured I'd post up my plans for the project.
I bought the car in May 2009 for $3500 from Miami,Florida. Not running, no brakes, things like that.
Ford 302, C4, 8" Axle 2.79 gears.
Frame, torque boxes, cowel all fine. No rust issues.
I replaced the door skins, passenger floor boards, parts of taillight panel, fixed rusted out corners of window and only have a couple rust spots to fix on car.
Up until a couple months ago Ive had to do all this work on a gravel driveway, not luxurious garage with lifts here.
Ive attached by build sheet so far, only 7k spent in parts and tools, which I dont think is too bad.
My goal for the car is to use in for auto X and road coursing, no trailer queen here
Modifications seperate from restore:
Drilled and slotted Rotors
17x9 Bullitt wheels all around
Black Racing Seats
Cipher Racing Harnesses
Removed Heater and AC Box............ why because race car
All billet pulleys
Holley 750cfm Carb
Quick Release Hub
Anvil Auto CF dash insert
Future additons to car:
Ford 390 stroked to 445 (already have block and other parts)
6 Speed Manual Trans conversion.
9" Rear
3-Link Rear Suspension
Mustang II front end
Flush Mount rear taillights
Rear Disc brakes
Carbon Fiber Hood
4 Weber Carb manifold (Stacks)
Hood to open reverse of normal (80s/90s BMW Style)
