- 72 convertible; 250 ci; auto trans
New to the forum...owner of a rusty 72 convertible. Bought it off ebay for $2300. The wife has always wanted a Mustang convertible, so I sold my big block Camaro and bought her the car of her dreams! It has a lot of rust, inner rockers and floor boards are rotted out. Put a new top on it a few years ago, my first attempt at convertible top installation...man that was a task! Wifey wants to keep it stock, but she has a hard time with the single barrel carb...she floods it on a regular basis, so I'm going to megasquirt it. I have the Tempo CTB, a new fuel tank to install an in-tank electric pump, megasquirt 2 (still have to assemble it), and an electronic distributor from a 78 Fairmont.
First task at hand is to repair the inner rockers and the floor board; the right side is the worse, where the car is caving in on itself; the top of the door hits against the door frame. I started to disassemble it last weekend, cutting out old floorboard and bracing to remove the inner rocker.
