Man this is amazing, I can't wait to see the finished product. You went from nothing to something,

Now you can be like "Hey man it came on a flatbed without wheels"

People will be like what the .. lol

[MENTION=11463]FaykSaleen[/MENTION] we want more

 

[FaykSaleen]

FaykSaleen we want more

Ask and you shall receive. Been stupid swamped with the stresses of running the business so haven't been on here for a while.

I pulled the mark 8 engine out and replaced it with a full mach 1 drivetrain including harness from headlight to taillight. Swapped in an AJE k-member with tubular a-arms, qa1 coilovers, lakewood drag shocks/struts etc etc and of course did some cosmetic work.

I said I'd bring this car back to life and here we are!! I still have some work to do but let me know what you guys think so far!

Also... drumroll pleasee.......


bam!

So are you keeping the spoiler?

 

[FaykSaleen]

So are you keeping the spoiler?

For street use, yes. On the slicks and skinnies it looks really funny with the spoiler so it's staying off for track duty lol

Thanks dude! I appreciate it.

haha yeah it's worth going back to the front page and looking through it, the car has had a rough few years (entirely my fault) but it's finally shining once again

damn it that looks awesome!!!!!!!!!

 

[5-oh-MUSTANG]

I always thought the saleen look was more "sporty" but damn with welds it just looks sick!

 

[bottlefed97]

Look awesome!! Makes me miss my Saleen kit.

 

[MustangChris]

looks great so far!

 

[Orange 94]

Well done! Great progress!

 

[DavidBoren]

You forgot to paint the hood...

Nice build. Looks good without the spoiler. I'm digging the slicks.

This is a great thread makes me want rethink about getting a full saleen kit for my steed.

Man I just read this entire thread and wow. Car is incredible. Thank you for motivating me to start tearing my engine down! I've been procrastinating on a little head swap while you're building this thing. I should be ashamed of myself. Lmao. Send that mark 8 power plant this way if you're not in need of it anymore! Awesome build!
