Project Debt Free

[siLversLeigh]

Well growing up is tough to do. With the coming of my second child I had to prioritize. Just because one has less free money does not mean he has any less need for speed. So out with the newer and fairly fast, in with the older and slower.














Got to tearing out the useless parts from the factory. So far sway bar, end links, wipers, linkage, motor, fluid tank, wheel wells, door lock actuators, spare tire and trunk trim have been removed. The car already had the a/c delete and the few bolt-ons you see on the top half of the engine.











I know how highly loved and respected the fox platform is on this site, especially ones w/such nice repaint jobs.


Oh yeah almost forgot, originally texas car, 136k miles. 5.0 5spd. Has the non defrost rear window too.

you got rid of your termi?

[TLSheff]

Yay!!! Sleeper

Yeah, didnt wanna keep making payments on a summer time only toy. Truth be told I would've kept it except couldnt afford it with wife not working.

[Bio248]

aw, poo.

this new car could be interesting though. fox bodies are nice with the right setup, i just feel they are too common for me to own one.

[SlowNA06]

Fox bodies are pretty rare in my area for some reason. From what I remember, it's pretty cheap to get 5.0's into the 400-500hp range. I could be mistaken, though.

[boostedcompg]

Lsx haha just kidding. So what's the plans? And that interior looks pretty good

[02 WS6 TA]

Because all stock '91-93 notches have a GT-40 Upper. Car looks promising, should be a good toy. *cough* LS swap*cough*

coyote still in the future plans?

Pos? sure. lol. Not sure if any mustang can be considered a sleeper. But the paint is staying the way it is until EVERYTHING else is the way I want it.

Only place they are common around here really is at the dragstrip, I actually get sick of them when I'm there. lol

Long term project, chassis/suspension, manual conversions and cage this year. The theme this time around is shedding all possible weight, even though its getting a mild steel dom cage

As much as I do like the LSx engines, I'm totally against crossbreeding. When I get a 67 nova we will talk.

90% sure. I was doing some figuring and it actually looks cheaper to go that route over a well built 8.2 deck sbf. Hard to believe right?

This looks promising, power adder is undecided but at this point it's a moot point.

[siLversLeigh]

Took a few pics outside since its like 45* out there. Yes I know my fence is falling down. The pieces that are up aren't coming willingly. lol




UPS guy stopped by and dropped off a few goodies


any guesses?

oh yeah the UPS guy ripped off my phone box off my house. I'll get pics of that later. lol

[siLversLeigh]

Can't believe noone guessed. oh well. A bit of progress was made.

Had to make room for the new tenants, so bye bye quad shocks.


later puny ponys


Meet your maker...muahahaha. lol


Oh, here comes his little bros as backup...


not the best pics, but will have to do for now. I have to persuade the inner rear fenderwells w/a 3lber later, too close for comfort. Also the tailpipes will need some minor modifications but thats for another day.

[Odi]

not a fan of fox bodies but good luck with the build.

[dsmuts]

Did you at least take vid of you doing massive burnouts on the old tires before you took them off?

[TheOtherNick]

How do you like that eco boost?

Thanks

Nope, going to try to recoupe some money from this round of purchases

How do you like that eco boost?

It tows phenomenally, mileage isn't as good as I'd expected but not bad. Only real complaint is that it sounds like a six cylinder. lol
My dad just bought a xlt w/the 5.0. I like mine more.

[siLversLeigh]

better pics of wheels


got a little time in today, little progress tho


front bumper and p/s pump is off, about it. debating on putting bumper back on.

[TLSheff]

...debating on putting bumper back on.

... doesn't it kinda NEED the bumper... you kno... so it doesn't look like ass

[02 WS6 TA]

OK, Now I can see- Rodlites- Nice choice.

... doesn't it kinda NEED the bumper... you kno... so it doesn't look like ass

He wasn't talking about the bumper Cover...

[Fatboy501]

Nice notch... I'm definitely jealous. People want an arm, a leg, and a portion of the scrotum around here for 'em.
