5.0 and 5-speed drivetrain from '89 mustang
Build story
I've had this fastback about 5 years. when i bought it, it was headed to be a parts car (get the roof cut off for a coupe -> fastback conversion). The current goal is to get it "running and driving" and then enjoy during the summers and improve during the winters. The car was being used as a race car, the whole front clip was gone, and a Pontiac F-Body(?) front subframe was just welded to the "firewall". There was a terribly installed 4-link suspension in the rear, the "side skirts" were 1/8" flat bar welded and bondo'd all the way down the side. It's not perfect, but I feel like I have certainly rescued this car. Last fall the car "drove" around the block for the first time. It's in desperate need of exhaust, and an alignment, and then it will be "driveable".
Wiring is mostly done, only plumbing left is the heater core.
Future plans: vintage air A/C, Performance Suspension, and Rack & Pinion conversion.
