nice work man, love these, have always wanted to own one but will have to wait a wee bit longer now im knees deep in the 64!

^{anything happen? i just got home from whiticity}

maaannn would of been keen for sunday as live like 10mins away but going to whiticity to do bike handling skils test so can get me bike licencse

yeah got a heap of new steel parts coming from the states, luckily everything is still made new.

Rear quarters look nice from the outside but when you have a look how htey been stiched they are shit house so iv got 2 new rear quarters coming to get stitched on properly. Going to be a bit of work but at least ill know everythings new.

Nah Thames Valley Sandblasting did it in the end as they are just up the road from me. Did a good job, have used him before for work stuff.

Picked up the car today. Got to have a good look around at all the lovely repairs its had in the past.

Would love to count all the pop rivets in the car there everywhere!!

Holes here, holes there and more over there

Angle iron and pop rivetted repairs.

Some more angle iron and pop rivets, can see in top of photo the replacement rear quarter stiching with pop rivets and shitty welding!

Boot area rust and some more rust!

Sad state of disrepair!

lol word..

haha yeah was quite a laugh, i actually cant believe what was covered up lol...quite astounding really.

Super stoked that can basically buy a new car in pieces everything is still made so means replacing the floor and the likes isnt the end of the world/to bigger broken wallet

saw a nissan 260c sedan in paeroa, guy was about 978 that was driving it ...and it smoked like a bitch when he put his foot down lol....had seen better days but hes prob had since new lol. will post a pic when i remember

yeah a pain in the arse job if you got to whip out and do in a year cause you didnt spend another $200 lol.....

Been waiting for a couple of weeks to update with pics but cant wait so pictureless update lol

Soooooooo its amazing what bog, underseal and rust can cover up!

Sandblasting found allsorts of amzaing holes, dodgy repairs and sweet pop rivetted patch panels...

There were holes in the floor that just had panels pop rivetted over the hole lol.

Angle iron welded into the boot and heaps of botchy as rust repairs.

Sandblaster was complaing about all the bog that came out of it haha.

Got floor, firewall, boot windscreen frame, chassis & arms/diff etc sandblasted and primed.

Most of its going to get cut out and replaced with new bits enroute from the US of A.

Firewall and windscreen frame came up good but rest of floor aint flash.

Got a new floor, sills and rear quarters coming along with a few other misc bits and pieces.

All going to plan will be off to panel beaters end of Jan to get hacked up, new bits welded in and prepped for some paint.

Will post a couple of pics up in the next few days when its not raining and i find a moment to collect the car.

Discussion therad > viewtopic.php?f=18&t=36383 talk some shit! give me some ideas, pointers or bullshit!!!

maybe should pull the turbo water pipe off and check if its split? might be a good start!

yeah the 3.0L ones go fukn sweet.. variable valve timing and like smoeone said above no cambelt...win

yeah they single turbo twin scroll so come on boost super early.

Nah new spec trans are all pretty decent really....6 speeds do synchros but its like anything depends how you treat them.

Not sure about the navman im pretty sure you can though.

Your running out of options then if you dont want any of them lol

3.0L 6 cylinder ones go mint, use a bit of oil apprently though. But can get a 6speed manual one...They are quite expensive though

Turbo ones are good twin scroll turbos and variable valve timing so get along alright.

Havent been in a 2.0L n/a one dont imagine theyd be a rocket shop but if its just a daily itd be fine im sure, cheaper on gas, insurance and more relaible as well.

Please cheaper to buy

Cruising down the street in yo six four? Just fuckin relax and ease it on down.

WORD haha

should have a gamble. everyone put in $5 and guess the number of mustangs there. person closest gets the coin

357 is my guess lol

Will definatly be at beach hop its only 40mins up the road, got mates live there so prob crash at theres but will be around for the weekend at least.

Damit same weekend as Leadfoot, will be at both i guess then lol..
