Just read the whole thread. Best build / re-build thread ever.
I couldn't stop laughing after the lava stream welding technique... who hasn't done that when it doesn't fit?
Fairmont's are pretty sleeper, then you have a 700hp sleeper with zip ties and rachet straps awesome.

shitty day at the track, figured i would post it anyway
drag radials on.
went to spray it out of the hole, no spray, i was using a stock wire from the stock harness in the engine bay that is Key on power for the nitrous kit and, today it has no power and i cant find any blown fuses, so i will be working on that, needless to say lol.
i shut her down at the 8th mile too

you can see how the car comes to life and the football keeps the car from twisting over like a mess

well it seems to be raining for like 3 weeks strait now haha, we were rained out 2x in a row lately between the heavy hitting we have been getting, its supposed to rain all week im gunna shoot for wednesday night, or this weekend if its clear.
i jetted it up to 53 jet, about 125rwhp, should launch great and spool that turbo instantly out of the hole.
the only other funny issue i have is.
my tail shaft seal has been leaking, im on my 3rd one, so i realize it has to be the driveshaft, it was super rusty and i sanded the slip yolk, must be letting trans fluid sling out because its so smooth, so today me and corey put like 12 coats of engine enamel on it and then sprayed it with copper RTV spray a bunch of times let it get dry and tacky and i slammed it in there, holy **** lol it barely went back in so i am hoping that is the end of the leak.

This is an awesome build, just read the whole thing. I am now trying to come up with ideas for a new build this winter.
My buddy has a cheap 4 eyed mustang for basically free, but I want more of a sleeper.
Keep up the good work!!!

so upside down i can see the needle and the numbers way better.
an autometer gauge actually has the numbers lower in the gauge and some empty space at the top of the gauge for this.
this one has the numbers at the very highest of the inside and again very hard to see when mounted strait in the gauge cluster
