Default New from Kansas

Hey everyone... I've been lurking around here for a while getting info and ideas and such but now that my project is about to begin I figured I'd go ahead and sign up.

I currently have a 2003 Mustang GT which I am the original owner of... I've spent a lot of time and money on that car and have decided I'm going to stop beating on it... took the cage out and other uncomfortible racing requirements and put it back to a fun weekend driver.

New project is a '86 Mustang notchback which is getting an LQ9 transplant out of an escalade...this car is getting put together from the ground up as you'll see in the pics but is also a budget build for now, going to put a bit of nitrous for it until it blows and that's when things will get ridiculous I imagine.

Anyways... here's a few pics of the current and project rides:





Coupe when I picked it up:



Coupe Current State:



And the heart:
