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.....MUSTANGfor $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 oni might be getting hooked
yes i still have the nova. big surprise there tostart school in june to, might as well update ya'alls on my whereabouts
oh yeah turned 24 on the 5th to
