My 2001 V6 Coupe Build Thus Far

[Swift]

Not really a huge update, just doing some tidying up.

Love this car. Nice work on the photos too!

 

[CobraBob]

Definitely some very impressive work. Gorgeous Mustang, and one you can really be proud of. I salute you! :bowdown:

 

[FromGTtoSVT]

V6 or not, zero to fault you for and you should be proud. Car is a real head turner...congrats

 

[Swift]

Don't think I forgot about this car or the thread! I've been stockpiling parts, and the winter build begins... NOW!

Got everything from the seats forward out of a wrecked GT,

A set of pretty nice Mach 1 seats

And a set of Hypercoated Saleens since they finally brought the finish back!!!!!

And lastly, a set of meats to wrap around the new Saleens!

Only one side of the Scott Rod aprons done, but I will say that these things are awesome. Had to remove only about 1/4 of metal from one edge of this one for it to fall right into place. And to trim and weld in this piece only took about an hour and a half in total. A+ company too!

This is so badass. Love the creativity. The silver striping in those mach seats will compliment those wheels very nicely.

 

[Sonic605hp]

Looks great, nice styling choices.

Great work on the car. Have to ask why not not do a cobra/4.6 swap into it? That way you keep your first car it just gets an upgrade?

 

[MTBSully]

Awesome. Keep us updated!

Well, I'm sure you've seen that I have a 2v sitting on the stand ready to go in it, but as far as why I didn't go 4v, I completely didn't have the budget. I probably could've pulled off a 4v swap, but I wouldn't be able to do an IRS, or the mach seats, etc. I wanted to get a lot of things done to the car at once, and that was just the way I budgeted my money and time.

To be quite frank, I never could notice a HUGE difference between a N/A 2v, vs a N/A 4v. Coming from my coyote, they all feel relatively slow.

 

[Swift]

Plugging away at it. Should be under primer tomorrow.

Also picked up one of the first generation MGW orange handles. I love the way these look over the new ones.

Perfect time to do a MM solid steering shaft.

Probably going to forego the shaft for now, just to stay in budget. I am however planning on converting over to solid aluminum rack bushings while I have everything apart.
