Default 2 years in the making.... it arrives. 98% Finished

Some of guys may remember what my poor car looked like the day it left Mustangs Unlimited back in September of 06.

The car , driven by a "friend" of mine hit a curb @ 85 + MPH racing a Mustang.



Sad isn't it?
From suspension was destroyed, front clip was messed up. Radiator was busted, hole in the oil pan, radiator housing was bent. Minor frame damage in the front. All 4 wheels + tires destroyed, cracked hood etc.


I lost all motivation in the car and the project, so it sat. And sat, and sat.

After buying my GTO... I decided I wanted to get back in the game and took the car down for sale, and decided to not part it out.

And here is the car as it went through the process of being redone.
The color I chose was VIPER RED, and JET BLACK for the hoodscoop and accents.

Yes I know the pictures suck, all taken with my ATT Tilt phone, I will get better pictures of the color later as this camera really sucked for capturing it.















And the car as it sits today.

It is still being buffed, and wet sanded and cleaned up.









I've got some black halo headlights, and black turn signals going on it as soon as they arrive. I've got a ton of other minor touches and problems to work out.



:goodjob: :goodjob:

He fixed the suspension under the car, I took care of the body work etc since I was going to have it repainted anyway.

Well that's cool then. I let my friends drive my car when they let me drive their Cobra's, but never do I let them smash in my car.

Which Mustangs Unlimited, the one in Manchester, CT?

I used to work there for a bit, and knew a few of the kids on the phones. Don't remember the story or the car?
