New from IL

Hello,

Well, I just bought a 94 GT for something to tinker with instead of dumping more money into my FWD DD, 13's@110+ just dont seem fun. New to the platform, but not new to the mustang world. I had a 2011 GT back when they came out in late 2010, but life gets in the way and a $460 payment gets kind of annoying.

Here is the 94. It's got....210,000 miles on it. Overall goals are probably to find a 302 bare short block and build a 347 + boost from the ground up. Bone stock as it sits right now except for some exhaust tips.

Welcome to the site. Looks like the body's in good shape, and thats a lot of mileage lol. But it doesn't matter since your planning on a new block anyways. Make sure you make a "Build Thread" when you start wrenching on it so everyone can see the work you do. Enjoy your stay

Yea, i didn't see any rust anywhere on the body, the paint is faded a little in some spots, plus it was a 1 owner car, which i couldn't believe.

I'm over in Rock Island on the NW side of the state.

Welcome! And I dig the car. That's a lot of miles but that old 302 can handle it. Good thing you are going to build another motor though.

 

[ElKabong197]

Yea, the body was the big selling point for me at the price.

I will say that shifting distance is ridiculous, makes me other car feel like it has a STS installed.

Another midwesterner! Looks like a great car, make sure you create a build thread to keep us up to date! Im from Dubuque Ia if you know where thats at. Its at the corner of ia/il/wi so not too far from you, just a couple hours. If you end up needing any parts let me know. I run a small business called Mustang Morgue where I specialize in Mustang parts. You can check it out at facebook.com/mustangmorgue

 

[ElKabong197]

Thanks, i'll check it out, im only about 40 minutes south of you. Wouldn't have to have an o/r hpipe or cai laying around?

 

[SVTstang96]

Sorry man I don't, just some cutbacks, front coil overs, camber plates, strut braces, gauges, gauge pods, rear control arms, rims and then a munch of stock parts

 

[whiplash473]

Rock Island is a pretty decent cruise from me, but then again [MENTION=16774]Bub[/MENTION] cruised out to my place and I don't think he's too far from you.
