Finaly got my passenger seat frame welded.

I will repair it. All of my new cars (usually buy them 1-2 years old) are and were salvage. This Mustang not that bad compared to what I had to deal with with some. It might not be a car that is valuable to others with rebuilt tile, but it will be valuable to my boys and I with the time we will...

New to me. Was southern car for all of its life and unfortunately had fo go through salty wet roads. Will be undergoing extensive undercarriage and body wash. After that will store it untill have time to rebuild with my kids. Now both boys will have one mustang each after I kick the bucket.

Picked up my second baby 850mi away from home. And gave it good salt bath towing through snow in the Virginian mountains and snow in the west Michigan. Surprisingly and thankfully 3.5 twin turbo Explorer did very well with 5,500 behind it through Appalachian mountains.

Looks like south and south east has better deals.

In midwest you can only buy coupe or convertible for 17k in that condition. Mach1 in that condition are going around 22 - 24k. If restored nicely, around 30k and up. For Mach 1, low teens you can get a rust bucket. 20k solid car metal with trash paint and interior.

So what did he price it at?

Price is high 39k, but if its truly full on rotisary restore, might be worth it for someone. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1537294433397301/?mibextid=dXMIcH

Took apholstry off the back seat to clean up frame and put in new padding (something I still have to come up with). Fortunately wires and supporting mash are in good condition, only need padding - maybe 1" foam and cotton.

Picked up my repaired seat cushion from upholstery shop. Planned to get rear seat skinned but instead worked on removing broken sparkplug in my 3.5 TT explorer

Yep, yellow does pop. Original color is yellow; car has dark gray center stripe with light yellow flake. Also, I have only 1 wheelresrored, will be posting here my work on other wheels incase others will want to use my proces. Project for late spring so I can work outside. First picture is...

Curently working on passenger seat frame repair, next rear seat new padding (burlap, 1" foam and cotton)

I picked up my convertible late summer 2022. Decided instead of rebuilding new salvage vehicles (for my own use), it's time to invest my work into something that will hold value, with how much time I spend perfecting things. Car has original 351c2v with C6 transmission and all original premium...

What is your tire size and are those original lug nuts ? I was contemplating if I should put tires with white letters out to brake up that large sidewall. Most likely will once I finish restore with all of my wheels

Sounds like ceramic coating. If it is/works the same, it will last few years when not used often and will keep it looking new. Had ceramic coat my sports car which sees daily use in summer - a must if you have black paint and and it to look good.

Good price for all that work that went into it.

Are you planning to drive it in the snow or salty roads? OEM (atleast 73 style) were not clear coated. I plan on buffing once a year. I painted wheels in the past. Finish is fragile compared to factory finish and that's with sanding to get better bite, while you have to go over smooth. Mounting...

Probably depends on what you build. Force induction and nitrous definitely open heads and low compression. OC need domed / poped pistons to achieve good dynamic comp ratio (get it to mid 7s) for all out NA motor. They both have positives, jut takes more to make Q to reach full potential.

They look really nice.

This is the sandpaper wheel I used (from Napa) stick on surface for sandpaper with adhesive. Sanding wheel has foam, so I was able to do concave surface of the wheel.
