Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Pegleg/Steve and live in the U.K
I have recently purchased a 1971 Mustang Grande 351c 2v 5.8L.
The car was purchased here in the U.K from a car dealer/importer.
The car has lived its life in Nevada. The upside is a rust free car apart from battery tray and apron i assume from battery leeks over the years. The downside to a life in Nevada is all perishable items like rubber and cloth have all but disintegrated. On the whole i would prefer a solid body and have to do the easy stuff like rubber and cloth replacement.
My Plan is long term;
1. Make the car road worthy and get the car M.O.T.'d-Road worthy
2. Register the car here in the U.K
3. Strip the engine and get everything tight again
4. Body off frame. Respray to body and powdercoat chassis
5. All new nuts and bolts, all new bolt on pieces to top of car
6. All new pieces to underside of the car
Resulting in concours finish.
