so not much to update on this car. It's in the garage now and I have a new render of the paint with the flared and opened fenders I am going to do.


Also I have figured out what I want to do with the car. I've always wanted an 83-86 bird, but the plan of how to use it wasn't decided. I now know I want to do drag week. It's been something I've always wanted to do but imagined it would be in the turbo ranger. lol everyone I know who's drag weeked a turbo 2.3 has had a bad time. I'm thinking a heads cam and intake 351 with twin turbo's will be the power plant. I'm also set to keep it an automatic. The half baked plan is to first get the thing driving as is. do the paint and body, then work on suspension and chasis, put the 351 in with Holly EFI then build the turbo kit. I'll also be daily driving it till I shake the bugs out. Goal is drag week 2023.

The obvious answer here is coyote swap and twins.

thought about it, but for what I'm looking for, the price doesn't match the goal.
