Hey guys,
I've been working on this car for sometime now, so i thought i'd post some pics and see what the other fox-loves think of the setup and process.
When i first got it, it sounded like this.

It turned out to be a couple thrown rods, no oil up top, a broken oil pump connecting rod, pieces of the bottom end of the pistons in the oil pan, a seized oil pump.

Here are some pics...













Had to take this pic.....it's so empowering...knowing you can pickup the whole front end of the car!












I broke down everything and went to town on the chassis, sanded painted, wire tuck.
The block went in for the next size over pistons, but the guys at Kenyon machine Took good care of me, resleeved and .040 pistons at 10:1 comp.

The heads are the stock E7 Oversized valves, new springs the whole nine.

New hydraulic lifters with retainers, Converted to roller rockers, and comp rods, everything 1.7 ratio.
(man this post sucks without the direct link to pics)




















Interior:
All the OG tweed is in great condition, actually everything on this car was really well taken care of....All i had to do was vaccuum and shampoo and it was solid.












Changed all the nasty flourescent bulbs for the LEDs from Superbrightled.com.
Believe it or not for as shitty as the site looks these guys came through with a quickness. Everything was perfect..check it out, It's hard to get good dark pics on a cam-phone but hell you get the idea.












More pics and video when i get the rest of it pieced together...
Opinions/comments welcome. Just remember this is my first domestic, i've been an import guy since i was 14, owned 4 hondas, and this blue mustang kinda fell into my lap. So i sold my last honda and put all i made into this stang.
