Well, thought it about time i start to intro my car and what I am doing to it. Many years ago, a good friend of mine let me drive his 65 coupe. From that moment on i was hooked and going to get myself a Mustang, the 67 Fastback being my drug of choice. Recently things have been good on the work front so i thought, lets do it. Good thing the wife agreed...
Contacted Matt at Shermatt and asked him to import a car i had already spoken to someone about. Matt warned me to let him check it out first but in the heat of the moment i jumped the gun and bought a lemon.... you may remember this thread about "Scam a Scammer"
The car arrived last december with many thanks to Matt and work started immediately and boy was there alot of work to do. Shermatt were great and stacked the vehicle full of parts, both new and old for me so i could save some $$ on buying them here.
Plan is :
Fairly plain looking exterior, keep the sexy stock fastback lines.
Lowered, nice but not outrageous wheels with large disks and updated suspension.
Worked late model injected V8, late model auto, lsd rear,
RHD converted.
To do everything myself with help of my father and enjoy the building process just as much as the finished product. Dads getting on a bit and its nice to spend some time working on something together again. Wont ever be a concourse car but thats not what i want, nor have the money to achieve.
This my first project car, will be a daily driver or used at least a few times per week and therefore needs to be reliable. I plan to keep it for a long long time.
Below are pics of what i thought i was getting....
AND this is what i got......
Well, work has begun as you will see in the next bunch of pics.....
