Stumbled upon this being parted out. I wanted it as complete as possible but it was already missing the 01 front bumper, seats, tails IRS brakes and motor.
I just happened to have a novi blown cammed B head 4.6 on an 03 bottom end I completely freshened up this winter. I was going to put the motor in a 98 black coupe but this car is wayyyyy cleaner. I have some work ahead of me and I’ll try to keep this thread updated.
The wife loves the idea of a convertible and it’s the first convertible mustang I’ve owned. So here goes.
The plans;
-Get the car home and clean/touch up paint the underside while everything is out of the way. This car is unbelievably clean. It’s only been in the NE for a hand full of years and it shows. The pics don’t do it justice.
-Install the SRA and fuel system from the coupe.
-get the front suspension in. I have a black stock K and control arms from another 01 GT and a set of coilovers. Not sure I’ll use them or go back to springs. I’m not a big fan of these cars on coil overs. but it’s an option.
-Drop in my built motor/trans and plan the wire tuck.
-Exterior is getting an 03 cobra cloth top and a black saleen kit I’ve been sitting on for awhile. I know, I know. But I love the look of the 99-04 saleens and I have a great foundation here.
Im hoping to have everything wrapped up by Memorial Day this year and to head to the cape for the weekend.
Wish me luck!
