Newbie here-hello

Jthompson · 09-11-2002, 07:06 PM

Hello all. I have been posting on other mustang message boards and found this one, this one is really great!!!!

I have an 86 mustang gt vert, and a 72 2 door maverick 302. The mustang has the typical "10 minute tune up" flowmasters, etc. It has a pro 5.0 shifter.

I picked up a 8.8 rear out of an 87 tbird turbocoupe. This rear has the 3.73 gears stock and is four lug with rear discs!! Best 175$ bolt on ever!! This, along with some MAC upper and lower rear control arms will be going on in a few weeks, as soon as I finishing settling into my new house and clear all the boxes out of the garage, and fix my broken tbird. That POS t bird was supposed to be my trans car, I have 6g left to pay on it, and have not driven it in 7 months, oh well

Anyway, just board and rambling here. Look forward to chatting with all of you.

Arrrrrrgh....welcome aboard matie.

Jthompson · 09-12-2002, 04:16 PM

Thanks for all the responses!!!

Crazy Horse GT, If that 74 Maverick is available, pick it up!! The cars are perfect sleepers. The 2 doors weigh in well under 3000 lbs. You should check out the Maverick message board at WWW. Maverick.to

Dark_5.0---Congrats also on your new house, and I am going through exactly the same thing as you. This is our first home, and naturally it was a complete fixer. I had saved up not much, but a few thousand dollers. EVERY penny of that has gone into the house! Damn, I had damn near enough to restore/mod my stang, oh well. But on the bright side, I now have a place to work on my car.

I found a couple of pics of my cars. The Mav is in original Beat condition. However, now that I have my house, I am picking up a junker 87 mustang gt convertible and am going to use the 5.0 roller motor for the mav, I should get the junker stang this weekend(free car with all mechanicals and interior!!!)

The paint on the stang is decent pearl white. The interior is that thrashed ugly tan, and I have the plain 10 hole wheels.

Jthompson · 09-12-2002, 04:17 PM

The MAV

Shelby428cj · 09-12-2002, 04:19 PM

Very nice looking Fords I like the stang the best!!!

Thanks for sharing we love pics on MW!!!!!!

See Ya,
Karen

Welcome to Mustang Works!
What kind of pearl white?? with the blue?

mustangman65_79 · 09-13-2002, 08:04 AM

Hey welcome to the site!!!

Hey, I already have a roller 302 HO motor out of a '89 GT if u want it. Complete exept flywheel. All for $800 Even have the wiring haraness too, and comp. Like I said, complete, running. It ran real good up till the day I tore the car down for parts. I bought as a parts car, but still drove it around. Nothing was wrong mec wise, but it was rolled. Let me know.

Jthompson · 09-13-2002, 02:49 PM

Thanks mustang man, unfortunetly though $800 is too much, with my new home. unless you want to trade straight across for the parts car I am buying.

I didn't see above that u were getting the car for free. I don't need another parts car, I got all I needed from the '89 I had. Since I'm selling the '79 when I get done and also I don't have the space to store anything. I kinda need to sell the motor soon when I get back, because it's at the shop, they are storing it for me till i get back, so if u have any friends who need s motor, let me know please, thanks.
