got the stang on its 4 wheels today, rear suspension is not finished, have to wait for more budget to order the coilover shocks in order to add the shocks brackets.

I finished welding the front rails and set the ride height with wooden blocks

Can't wait to see this with the fenders and quarters on to see how everything fits! Good job so far!

lots of rust repairs before that, need more expensive parts to order (one quarter, wheels, coilovers) before any major updates

as I clean the shop, put the doors on the stang so they are no more taking place in the shop

was the lucky winner of a cheap 4.8l vortec engine last night on Bay site, less than $500 for this engine shipped from the US to France to my door, as I am not looking for power but running after my budget goal, I will add a cam and intake and depending on my funds, a carb lookalike injection to run E85

with the engine I will be able to work on the firewall, trans tunnel and put the new floors in

$500 shipped to France?!? That's awesome! You can pick up a complete motor at local JY's (to me, in the US) for around $200-300. So, that seems extremely reasonable.
Hope it was advertised.

maybe it is junk but the auction description said start and ran ... but I need one to mock up firewall, floor, trans tunnel and this way, this will be a large step in the project.

and the shipping cost and taxes are twice the price of the engine ....

starting more rust repairs as it does not cost a lot except my time and I have plenty of time here as we are in the middle of our 7th week of lockdown.

upper and lower cowl panels, will also mock up the mustang inner fenders, will complete welding here and there as long as the Mig welder has enough gas in it

Good luck with your 4.8 sounds like a good deal.
Hope you have plenty of welding supplies, this is the perfect time to get the sheet metal work done.
I went through so many spools of wire and bottles of gas for the mig welder while working on my GTO.
