I'd like to share my build on my 1990 Wild Strawberry Mustang I bought new when I was 19.
This car has gone from a street terror, to a race car, and now going back to better than new condition.
I have a 2003 Cobra donor car that I'm swapping everything over other than the IRS and the interior but have some added touches. :banana:
Enjoy!
Donor Car
I had the car repainted and all the little dings worked out.
Engine compartment all smooth....
Blacked out tail lights and smoked headlights with HID's
Complete sound deadening throughout the car...
New headliner with the original map light and 1993 Bug Eyes.
New Cobra brakes on all for corners. Had the disk powder coated so they stay looking good. QA1 Struts and shocks with UPR K-Member.
Engine compartment wiring. I bought new Elliot Tape, engine harness tape, and I'm re wrapping every harness.
In the process, I removed ABS and any other unnecessary wiring.
The power plant, total rebuilt by Tim Lynch @ Proline.
Upgraded the rod bolts, main bolts, head bolts, pistons.
Powder coated the valve covers, timing cover, coil covers, cross over tube, ect.....
Metco 2lb lower, New alternator from Start & Charge, New A/C.
Bassani mid length headers powder coated too...
Cooling mod from D'Agostino Racing
