African Mustang rebuild

Good day all.

I found this classic on a farm in Africa.

I need to rebuild it with limited knowledge. I will take all the advice I can get.

Your help will be much appreciated.

I am moving this tread to Individual Restoration Forum. Im new and still finding my way around.

Sorry!

I am building this car for my dad. He graduated in 1972 and he loves muscle cars but has never owned one. His birthday is on the 10th of June and I would like to give the finished car to him then.

Great idea. Good luck.

That will be a nice gift!!! It's quite the ambitious timeline to get all that work done in. Good luck.

I will have all major parts by 14 April. So that leaves me with exactly 2 months. Tight but doable.

The parts have finally arrived in South Africa!

Let the blood, sweat, and tears begin! It is really unique that you are doing this in Africa, keep us posted.

After giving it allot of thought I have decided to use the 351c and not the 460. Its a 2v.

Slight damage to the hood with two corners bent, but nothing serious.

I was wondering how it was going had not seen a new post. I hope to make it over in July or August so I will for sure look you up. You have taken on a task most will take at least a year to do.

Keep us posted.

interesting...I dont think we have an African member.Very cool, Im sure somebody has suggested our member map...pin it. as for the build you have accomplished the first move....clean and paint EVERYTHING... some people suggest painting the car first then detailing i'll NEVER accept that suggestion again. ...those thankless efforts will be revealed later at final assembly. I doubt very serious you have rust issues there. Keep us updated.

Good luck!

Keep us updated! We love restorations.

It's awesome you are doing this for your father.
