Hi,
Got my car back from Mustang Specialteaz. Cost
me $486CDN after tax for 6.5 hrs of work (roughly
$65/hr). The torque box that was broken severly
was fixed and is very strong now. The passenger
side however, has a problem.
Lloyd (mechanic) showed me weld holes in the floorpan under rear
passenger seat (where passenger upper torquebox
is held). The holes were made when Lloyd tried to weld
the torquebox seams on the weak floorpan (only on that side).
I was advised by Lloyd (even says so on receipt) that
I should refrain from adding any more power, otherwise
the floorpan is bound to ripp out under rear passenger
seat.
After Lloyd ran me through the fixups and what I can't
do, it really crushed my dream of turning this thing into
a twin-turbo 5.0L, 10s or 11s daily driver.
That's it; shows over. :sad:
On the bright side, the car runs really strong; pulls
and runs hard, and if I want it to last, it's gonna
stay this way until I get rid of it. Lloyd did say the
car is very strong as is and should be kept that way if
it is to last.
Next year, I'll have to convince my brother/parents to
sell it for something in better shape.
Bye!
