done and on the road!!
2 months of work and its finally on the road!! So here a little back story for anyone that is board. This was my girlfriends first car in high school, when she bought a brand new car in 2000 this jast sat on the side of her aunts house for 12 years her uncle was going to fix it up a few years ago but did not get far ( besides just taking it apart) So she gave it to me to bring it back from the dead so here is how i got it
Paint, bodywork, all new carpet, seats ect. And major, major tune up, from fuel to elec. what a pain in the a** . It has always been a New Mexico car so not to much rust to deal with. Im not going to lie this is my first import so go easy on me, my other cars are a 91 GMC syclone, 74 Dodge Dart, and the next project a 62 Cadillac coupe devill. Anyway here it is now.

Thanks for the feed back! The color is ford victory green, it came on the 05, 06, mustangs. I think the rims are kmc 18x7 they where a cragslist buy, cheap and shiny thats all I cared about. And no she does not drive it cuz she likes to bump into things. I needed this fourm like a extra head to get this thing running, did the hei module to save money, hard wired the fuel pump cuz the ecu was flipping out. All the "tricks" to get it to pass smog. You all have been a big help. I was trying to re do this car on a budget.... Ill wait a bit so everyone can laugh! But I was able to finish the car for about 3 grand (****disclaimer**** I own a body shop and did all the work and paint myself so the price was parts and interior and anything i could not do myself or make) I will say its a pretty fun car to drive

Looks sharp. If you can find some wheel spacers and bring the wheels out closer to the fenders it will look even better. A drop helps as well with the looks of the car but you can only go so low without having to modify the rear cross member to be able to adjust the camber.
