Latest Project! 1988 Mustang Coupe 5.0l Build Thread

thundercunt posted a topic in Gamer's Garage

Here is the day I got her. A 1988 LX coupe with a 5.0 and a 5 speed. Gt body kit covered in spray paint and bondo. Had a Dry nitrous kit on it. Any one who has ever run nitrous knows the dry kit is a recipe for disaster. I was still happy to get the car though having owned numerous foxbodys but never a coupe/notchback, So at this point I drove it around a bit and enjoyed it while looking for parts but i was not happy with it to say the least. Someone made a back seat delete out of roofing tin... That was the first thing to come out. Put a 3" cowl induction hood off my old car on it. So after a few months the massive amounts of bondo/filler started cracking under the shitty spraypaint job and I realized that my dream car was more of a project than i first anticipated. The rear pasenger 1/4 pannel was demolished and peiced back together with poorly welded metal and fiberglass. So the search for a parts car was on. Not an easy feat since I waited my whole adult life to find this one and aftermarket panels were way out of my price range. I did manage to find a parts car 400 miles away for $300 so I hooked a trailer to my pickup and headed out to get it on payday (wife was beyond pissed). A rusty 1989 LX 4cyl auto car was now in my possession. Even though I didn't have any were to put it, or work on both cars I was on a mission. First thing on the agenda was to get rid of the GT body kit as the coupe/notchback never came factory with a GT kit and I'm a purist at heart. I did the front and rear bumpers first along with some new fenders I had for parts from yet another foxbody. It was summer time so I did all this work outside. The top photo is the GT rear bumper that looks kinda bad ass but again not factory. Below is the LX bumper installed off of the $300 parts car. I also swapped tail lights from some 1984 models that were on it to the original LX models. The GT tail pipes were hanging low but I fixed that later. At this point I was still working on getting all the parts I needed off the the $300 car so I could scap it for some extra cash (got $25 for the leftovers lol). I did manage to pick up some more parts while doing this like a HURST short throw shifter and some 99-04 Mustang GT rims. Sure was happy to get rid of them Ford Ranger rims. Ok so now I was at the point that I was ready to tackle the rear quarter panel. As mentioned before I didn't have a garage at the time as I was living in an apartment but I did have welder and all the tools needed to do the job and it was warm out. So I tackled the project in the apartment parking lot lol.
