1985% FoMoBiGalow JUNK

[jbigalow]

Well boys and girls its that time again. Well if any of you know me well then you would know once a car is about 95% done i need to sell it and start over new again. so once 100% JUNK was at that point we went hunting for the next biggest turd and so i enlisted #Turbocharged400sbc because if anyone knows what a big turd looks and smells likes..... its him.

Last December we stumbled upon a 1985 mustang GT from Arizona for $3700
- Roll cage
- threw floor sub frame connectors
- Built rear end.
- Strange brakes all around
- rust free



My goal for this project is to make it a Pro Touring car. Since the car was setup for drag racing we need to change out somethings and add the missing pieces the previous owner didn't get around too

- Add the motor, trans, Fuel, Cooling, & PCM from the blue car
- find a Hatch & Hood
- Sand and paint the engine bay & undercarriage
- Weld in a Battle Box kit
- New K member since QA1 is more for drag racing only
- Replace the drag suspension for a more road worthy setup
- Add Brake lines.
- Find the missing interior pieces
- needs Carpet & Headliner
- New Rims and Tires for DD
- New paint job

[Turbocharged400sbc]

its a wonder im single
frontend as of a couple days ago

interior with fully welded wild rides plates and the chromoly rollbar finally painted. you can see the burnthrough from where i welded the upper box seams and corners

from the back

the rearend/body all welded and installed, still gotta weld the seams on the lower tq boxes but all the stuff thats a bitch to get to is done.
1.25" solid swaybar, full suspension. 8.8 is welded and has the strange kit, auburn posi, 4.30's, strange c clip elim and 4 piston brakes, cover, etc.
it needs to be able to roll for the drivetrain swap from the old 100% JUNK car

And

at least it wasnt a teddybear tshirt

for now but it'll be getting a power rack once he gets the max motorsports Kmember
we have the matching flaming river manual shaft so we'll be selling the manual 15:1 rack and the shaft and getting a power rack 36 spline shaft when the time comes.

for the most part this is to get it rolling with working brakes, so we can toss in the parts from the blue car and work on it from there with the harness/interior/hvac stuff etc

i have an entire PS system offa a fox that had 40 k on the car. just removed it, we went with a flaming river manual rack, but don't have a shaft. can you let me know when you are selling?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

pump/pump bracket/lines and rack?

we were hoping to sell the 15:1 rack and shaft together since they usually sell easier together, both have only been pushed around, never even had an engines weight put on em...minty new but been sitting a couple years
