Ole Yeller is ready for the road.

[Rush]

I finally have "Ole Yeller" ready for the summer. (1994 Mustang GT) It has been a year and a half project. The man that I bought if from installed the new engine and transmission, then stopped working on it due to the economy. It was in a shed for over two years with well water in the engine and radiator. It messed everything up, but I saved it! Let me know what you think!

[Suspect]

[BullitSN95]

[Rush]

I spent a lot of time and money to get it to idle that way.

Thanks!

I called several different insurance companies. I will try to get some insurance tomorrow. I Installed a new steering rack and tie rod ends, so I will need to take it straight to the alignment shop and then for a nice test drive. :headbang:

 

[OnyxCobra]

looks awesome dude, what's done to the engine?

 

[Rush]

The engine was built by a guy from Holcombe Motorsports before I bought it. It has around 2000 miles on it now. He bored a little and put a lot of Ford racing and Trick flow parts in it. I still don't have all of the paperwork on every exact part. I will try to get him to send me a list soon.

What will it run in the 1/4?

 

[Rush]

I have no idea what the car will do. I have never driven the car. It didn't run when I bought it. I just finished it up and cleaned the engine this morning. The funny thing is, I have never driven a Mustang in my life, but I have owned it going on two years. It was is really poor shape when I got it, left out in a shed to rot, so I never got insurance or a license plate for it.
