Tireburner FINALLY gets a real stang
 

As of noon yesterday I am the proud owner of a 1991 Mustang GT vert, 5-speed. It's got gears, a shifter, off-road H-pipe, flows, and a K&N.

It's got 50K miles on a new motor. I paid 1K for her

Now the problem.....it's smashed, lol. I thought the frame was bent ,but after driving it, it tracks straight as a arrow. I think now that it is just the radiator core support.....I think that's what it's called (I'll post pics later). I was gonna use it as a donor car for my 2.3, but this car is just too damn nice to to fix. The paint is less than 2 months olds and the top is only like a month old.

BTW......this thing hauls ***;)

PS. anybody with a radiator core support, or GT front cap peices for sale let me know.:)

L8ter
Josh, aka the tireburner

Good deal man. Now you can join the club called "the never ending modifaction money pit club"

here ya go

broke bummper....ouch

looks like the wheel is tilted in at the top....I think that's just where it got knocked out of alignment (I hope...*gulp*)

I think this fender got hit by the hood and knocked out of wack.

more smashage

I'm really don't think the frame is bent much, if any. As you can see I'll need a new radiator core support, hood, fenders, front cap, bummber and headlights.

Over all, I think it will be nice once it's fixed.:)

Congrats tireburner :D

Looks like you have quite a project on your hands,
but the out come will be one Bad *** Stang.:)

Hell, Josh, pull the other fender off and you will have eliminated the weight disadvantatage that goes with 'verts!

I'm very happy for you, actually. Must be something in the air. I just bought an engine today.

Projects are healthy.

:)

Take care,

Congrats Tireburner ... I hate to be the one who throws cold water on your project but you have some damage on that car that needs to be looked into ! The car for sure has some twist in it ... check the door gaps on each side and compare ... the apron is bent on the right side ... the fender reinforcement is bent on the right side ... the rails are damaged in front (see how the absorbers are pointed down ?) The misalignment on the right front tire may be from suspension damage or from the bent apron ... if you leave that stuff as is, it can cause you lots of grief not to mention it compromises the integrity of the structure enough that if you got into another accident it could put a major hurtin on you.
Take it to a body shop and have them give you an assesment on the damage. its not likely anything that couldnt' be fixed but you do need a little pull time on that chassis !

Spoil sport!

;)

Take care,
~Chris

Congrats on the new project acquisition!!!

:D :D :D

safety first
 

Congratz Josh!

But before you get too deep into this,please have the car checked out as to how much money it needs to be built safe for the road if you choose to go this route instead of a donor car.

Sweet dude, that flippin rules! I figured you were about due for a V8.:D :D :D

Good luck with the project!

congrats 4 banger boy- lol, welome to the real mustang world, heheheh, let me know when you get some time , i think i can find you a front end. l8ter bro. ;) :D :D :D :D

HotRoddin yes I have noticed that the gaps are differnent between the doors. The passengers side is barley rubbing the 1/4 pannel, while the drivers side has a larger than stock gap. The car will be put on a frame machine and pulled. A new radiator core support will also be installed.

is it going to have a big stereo?:rolleyes:

I'm not sure how to take that.......

But yes as some point in time it will have audio system. I'm selling my subs and sub amp to help fix it. However I am installing my head unit, speakers, and speaker amp in it. As some point in time I would like to add a pair of tens.

However this will be some time in the future......hot rodding before tunes.

There ya go !! excellent ... they'll pull it back to specs and your parts will fit and the car won't give you grief later on :)

Hey, that good news!

I don't know if u want it, but the on'y thing I have left off of the '89 GT I had for the front is the bumper. I see yours is done for. I u want, I sell u mine for 25 plus S&H.

I can't wait until you finish it Josh!! I'm glad to see you finally got a "REAL" car. hehe ;)

awesome Josh!

sounds like you've got a bit of a project on your hands, but dont we all?:)

By the way, take that jerry-rigged line from the EGR spacer and hook the coolant lines back up.

Does this mean I will have someone to race at Corral day 03? or will you be sick again? :cool:
