  • Stage 1 Build Up

    Figured I would post pictures of my build up so that all can see what is going on. BlueCoupeRedVert and I finally got the car running so that when you get into boost, it actually goes and doesn't fall on its backside

    Car is a 1988 Mustang GT Hatchback and really, needs a lot of work to bring it up to my standards. I am building the car in stages and will post pictures as I go along.

    I will say that I am building this car as budget friendly as possible. I am going with a very mild 306, stock heads (ported, upgraded valve springs & retainers), full exhaust, fuel setup, Vortech V3 SCi blower, upgraded shocks and struts, FMS 31 Spline Diff, 31 Spline 4 Lug Axles, 3.73 gears, cleaning up the interior, and eventually new paint.

    I chose to do Stage 1 first because the Interior was so disgusting:

      Nothing says I'm dedicated to a build like half assing a build thread by just pasting a link to a photo album.

          Mine will be done in about 9 Months. I have most of the interior parts ready to go back into the car. Stage 2 is the motor build....Car already has the blower on it so that is a large portion of the motor cost. Also has exhaust as well....

            Damn that car looked like it was half assed all through out it. Is that all extra wiring from a old system
