ill get some better ones later. the driveline came from an 88' hatch. it is currently set up as a 5 spd which is incorrect for this car but I have all the automatic stuff put up for later use. the interior is black with mix match door panels . I can't find any armrests local for the manual window setup. the bumper covers, the hood and decklid were all trashed so luckily I have a couple cars out back that donated to the cause. I'm hoping the spotlight brackets will be in my mailbox when I get home. I think the spots really set these cars off. I have another motor that needs to be rebuilt so I intend to start on rebuilding it soon and when things start to warm up, I will finish painting my truck and then park the mustang to be completely disassembled. thanks for letting me share, Ted

Welcome! That car has come a long way from what it used to look like. Here is one from a while ago.

here is another question, where does one get a solid red dash, steering wheel, and the housing for the guage cluster? I've yet to see that except in pictures. maybe 88' had the red with black on top? anyone know for sure?
|
It seems to me that 92 or 93 is when they went to the solid color dash. I know 93's were that way. Doug

Those solid red interiors were awful! The red w/black isn't too bad. I took my convertibles red/black interior and replaced the red carpet w/black and put black inserts on the door panels to break up all that red.

it should look like this.

If you car is an 88, why does it have an Air Steering Wheel.

as i stated earlier, i used what i had available to get it running. same reason it has black interior and mass air. this is why i really didnt want to post yet. im working on it. it will slowly return to stock. Ted

No worries... I do the same thing from time to time as well. You need to do what you have to do to have a daily driver.
Looking good. |
thanks! I'm proud of it. it really is a unique car and a lot of people recognize that. I love driving it.
|
I have followed this car since before you bought it and it is coming along very well. I like it!!
|
thanks, jarhead, how far back have you known this car? did you find it before I did? just wondering if you might know more about its past. thanks, Ted
|
Ted, I have been following this car along with many others. On this particular car what I know is only what has been posted on it by 86NeSSP who personally knows the guy you bought the car from. I would not be able to offer you anything you don't already know but be sure that if anything else comes up I will give you a call.
Meanwhile I am enjoying the progress you have been doing on the car and can picture it completed. |
