well here it is in all its glory lol. A little backround on the car previouse owner didnt take care of it and aboned it. left it to rot at a friends mothers house for 2 years it sat out side with the window cracked in it so it is gross inside to say the least. They stoped driving it after they "rebuilt" the engine in it .they couldnt figure out why it had no oil pressure.hmmm pic will show why lol

Looks just like the car in my sig did when I got it....but not that dirty. I miss that car mann.

 

[skunkworks50]

good job bringing her back, looks great now!

 

[skunkworks50]

thanks its getting there

 

[96TANGERINEGT]

Why do people let cars get to that point ? Holly shit ..
Good job so far tho..

 

[skunkworks50]

no idea i think they lacked the knowledge to get it right and said f-it and gave up took 2 months to get the title to it from the dmv

Definitely gettin there. Hopefully the motor is not damaged, did you at least pop a bearing out? I would imagine if they drove it like that it can't be good.

When I put my motor together earlier in the year I got a brand new Ford racing short block. Found it on Craig's, still in the crate with the thick plastic cover sealing it. Anyway, got everything together, gt40 top end, buttoned it up, go to prime it and got about 20psi. Thought it should be higher, but I fired it up. As the motor was getting warmer, pressure was dropping under 10 so I shut it off. Long story short, the block came with all the oil galley plugs, except the big mother under the intake. Go figure.

 

[copmagnet]

how much did you pay for it?

 

[skunkworks50]

i got another motor for it from a friend for 200 bucks the original motor was trashed i have it sitting on the floor he drove it with no oil pressure for a week i think thats what i was told before he parked it and gave up on it they put new freeze plugs and oil plug in it but they didnt stake them in place so those 2 oil galley plugs in the pic are layin in the oil pan somewhere lol he truley was a dumbass that owned it

 

[skunkworks50]

i paid nothing for it my friends mom wanted it off her property and i have built a couple of mustang for him in the past if you can see in the pic there is a red 98 gt in the backround that is his brothers car getting a 4 valve swap soon. so far i have got about 600 bucks in it and 250 of that was dmv to get a title to it
