I've held off on posting a build thread for a while, but now I'm getting into the meat of the build, I'm finally starting it up. I got tired of posting new threads for every question or issue I have. So this is a placeholder for right now, until I have time to type up the backstory :)

It's time to revive this thread. A lot has happened since making this thread, and poor Blue Raz has suffered. She's no longer on the journey to be a daily driver, but a full drift stang build. Many of yall might not like it, but it will be a JDM-inspired drift car. One day, once all the issues are fixed. And man, there are a lot of issues.
Current status:
(back to front)
Needs trunk struts
needs convertible top and frame
needs new gauges
needs airbag to be put in
needs a full stereo system
needs ac fixed
needs vacuum leaks fixed
needs x-pipe fixed (O2 bung needs to be shifted down so the passenger upstream O2 sensor can be put in
needs drivers side brake bleeder screw
needs two broken bolts extracted (lower intake onto head)
needs new head gasket
needs all fluid changes
needs identify slipping issue on transmission, possibly pull the trans from the parts car
needs headlights
needs paint
needs wheels and tires


that's all I can come up with off the top of my head, but I am sure there's more. I'm using this thread as a bit of a notebook right now. I haven't messed with it in a while, but It's time to start it up again.

Goals: have it running in two weeks, have it driving by Christmas, and have it driving "safely" by new years.

Sounds like you got your work cut out for you, but hey, just concentrate on one or two things at a time.
Bite by bite buddy.
Keep us posted on the journey
and good luck!
