My 85 Coupe

[carbd89sleeper]

Haven't posted on here for a while but I just thought I'd post some pics of my recent project. Got it back in October, it was pretty much an all stock 4cyl auto with 99k original miles. I've since swapped a mild 302, T5, 8.8 rear along with some suspension mods with some tremendous help from my buddy dumpycapri85 and some other fellow stangers. Currently getting the exhaust fabd up and finish upgrading the front suspension as well. May be ready to roll by next weekend.

put some 10 holes on it (or ponies), 2.5" stainless tips, put B springs on it, compound & polish the tan, shoot the buckets & trim= done.

That interior is incredibly clean. Don't jack it up by mounting gauges.

This! do what SNEAKY did and widen some 10holes for the rear if you want to run a wide tire...

It is a really nice car . With the motor/suspension work and the 3" exhaust it is gonna be a fun little driver/weekend racer . I love the tan and the lx checker seats . I like the skinny wide 10 hole suggestions also .

Thanks fellas. I'm definitely leaving the interior stock with no gauges mounted maybe a small shift light above the steering wheel if anything. All factory gauges are working besides tach ,which I will get working with an msd tach adapter, along with all electronics. I've got the following done and some in process welded/bolted TQ box reinforcement kit, subframes, eibach drag springs, strange 10 ways all around, 89 GT front brakes, long tubes with full 3" exhaust with dumped old school 40 series flows. I already had the wheels and tires so I'm good with those and I like the way it looks but eventually I'd like to run a wider wheel out back. I'm also going to have the trim and sail panels repainted to the factory specific black color once I get the suspension mods finished up. Should be a fun street car.

Will be even more fun with the bottle ! HeHeHe ---- evil laugh .

Sneaky didn't have the wheels done and the rears were not widened. The fronts were narrowed and incredibly cool. One of my biggest mistakes was getting rid of that car.....
