    new project, uh-oh and mini update

     



    well ive taken my sweet time posting this thread, in fear for my life

    back in december i bought a 1985.....MUSTANG for $350 bucks and have decided to make it the junkyard dream car

    its an 85 mustang lx 4 banger 4 speed.

    i already have for it, a roller 5.0 shortblock from an explorer 70 bucks
    set of that 7te heads traded a hood for these
    brand new headers that i traded a set of exhaust manifolds for.
    have the trade lined up for when i yank out the motor to trade the 4 speed to a circle track buddy of mine, for a completel t-5 setup!
    or course new rings bearing rod bolts, it was a low mile shortblock but some regular maintenence never hurt right!? also have some solid rear control arms coming. and an 8.8 transplant waiting

    so for well under a grand ill have a running driving v8 foxbody that'll be plenty for around town and maybe occasional track useage. but for the time being im enjoying the 20-25 mpg and driving a car for a change.

    am going to prep it for a quickie paint job new fender on the way via the pull n save, you'll never guess the color

    my fear was that i bought a ford and its kinda fun to work on i might be getting hooked


    yes i still have the nova. big surprise there to start school in june to, might as well update ya'alls on my whereabouts oh yeah turned 24 on the 5th to
