Well, I worked out a deal with a buddy of mine to take a V6 95 Mustang off his hands. It will cost me more than I would like to spend to get my '85 up to par, and as attached I am to the car I figure it's time to move onto something better. I love the car and still want to make something bad *** out of it, and it isnt hard but she needs ball joints, some body work, paint, shocks in the rear and some minor suspension work, rear axle bearing and what not. For the amount I'd have to spend, I could save some and wind up with a better prepared platform.
So, I'm making the move to an SN95. It's green on grey, not my fav combo but it will do, at least it'll be shiny . I'm going to swap over my turbo setup and motor, trans and an 8.8 rear end with 3.55s converted to the SN95 rear disc setup. This way I can install my Dynomax Ultra Flows and coat the exhaust with some sort of heat blocker because the '85 has some HOT floors! Basically I get to pull the motor and prep everything the way I want to and make sure that this time it all gets done right. Not only that, but I'll finally be able to run a wastegate dump into the downpipe. I have pretty much all the necessary parts required for the swap to go smoothly, and parting out the '85 will cover the extra's I need. So all in all I really wont be spending much at all, very little actually. The only problem will be the fugly '95 V6 wheels, I think I have a set of 16" Waffle 5 star wheels I can toss on. Going to try and get started on it soon, I probably wont race the '85 anymore to avoid any possible hassles and headaches. It'll be fun, and a big step up in the comfort department.

Nice!

 

Odd... I bought a car to lose weight, you bought a car to gain weight...

Oh well, get used to seeing my tailights (again) :tongue:

 

Bahahahahaha, easy tiger! This one's being set up to go 11s, and she's getting gutted. No rear seats, and anything that isnt necessary will be dropped. Get ready to see my taillights bitch!
