this has been a nearly two year build. lots of mods no one will ever see, and lots more needed in places they can....built to drive, not to show. fired it off 5/17 at 10:30p, worked out a few bugs, and she is runnin strong now.

yesterday, i spent most of my afternoon cleanin the 2yrs of crud off the car. all i have to say is: Simple Green FTMFW!!

so since she is all clean, and waxed, i thought id show her the town and get some pics. of the 41 pics i took, these are the best

 

hot damn looks great man!!!

 

Does it scoot, i mean from the pics looks just like a straight 6 or something?

 

Is that a turbocoupe? Looks great.

 

(6-2)boost = scoot
87 turbocoupe, yup

 

2.3 turbo I4



nice gumby, i want to see track times.

 

Thought so. Don't see to many of those dudes. What else do you have planned for it?

 

looks good man, wish I had more time to check it out before I moved



Oh, and I miss those rims!



well, I also miss the truck too

 

o ok ya it looked like a sleeper somewhere in there. Whats it do in the quarter?

 

no clue, i set it up for autoX and open track. it might go to a TnT at the strip for fun, but its not a drag car.

 

Nice. What you got planned for it?

 

the fab work on the chassis and suspension are pretty much finished. ive got a few more motor mods in the long term plans after i sort the tune on the suspension. needs some interior attention, and paint if its ever gonna look nice.

moslty im just gonna drive the effin wheels offa it.

 

Looking good gumby. I bet it felt good to finally drive it.

 

I'm with Chad! I know you have been workin your butt off on that thing. Looks like it paid off.

 

NICE!!!! The better looking faster mustang!

 

looks really good man, good job

 

Neat ride.

 

thanks guys! yeah, its great to be driving it again. surprised a SRT4 driver this morning who didnt even give me a second thought till he heard the BOV; but then it was toooo late

 

I would beg to differ on that just because I'm partial to mustangs. However I do love t-coupes! Looks good man!

 

looks good

are those pictures taken on a freeway overpass. i envy you, doing that is unheard of in orange county, it is never empty like that

 

I was just about to ask that. you just got out and took pics? what time of day was that?

 

well i guess that is your prerogative, but IMO the only things a mustang is good for would be as a suspension/brake donor, and for building up the aftermarket supply of parts.

• 99 cobra donated my IRS
• 95 mustang supplied my front spindles and brake booster
• 94 cobra gave up its master cylinder
• 00 cobraR donated my rear springs
• 04 cobra supplied my front brakes and shocks/struts

my front seats are from an 87 saleen. my tubular kmember/LCAs/coilover kit, and my 6pt bolt-in roll bar are all mustang application parts.



the overpasses in the pics were built last year in anticipation of an annex to the airport. they are not open yet; notice no paint lines on the pavement even. it was 7pm.

thanks for all the compliments guys!!

 

Nice car man, looks fun to drive.

 

Well just be glad mustangs are around otherwise the aftermarket for the tbirds wouldn't be there Personally I just like mustangs better. It was my first go fast car and I will have another again pretty soon probably. I wouldn't mind getting an old t-coupe as a toy.

This was my first mustang

 

Love the car man! looks like a mean driver. I've always loved these cars.

I remember my high school girlfriend bought one of these new, and we damn near drove the doors off!

Dial it in, and then post some numbers!
