Well here is the build thread for my 83 GT. I was going to be secretive with the car, but I figured my fellow stang gang members needed to see it. Here is a quick run down of the car as a roller:
1983 mustang GT
D&D Tubular K member
D&D Tubular A arms
QA1 coilover kit 14" springs 175lbs spring rate
So Tex Race Cars 6 point chromoly rollcage
So Tex Race Cars 2x2 thru the floor subframe connectors
So Tex Race Cars torque box reinforcement plates
So Tex Race Cars strut tower brace
So Tex Race Cars driveshaft safety loop
93 cobra rear spoiler
93 cobra rear tail lights
8.8 rear end with 98 cobra rear brakes
98 cobra front spindles
Steeda bumpsteer kit
Flaming River power rack and pinion
UPR caster camber plates
Strange 10 way adjustable front struts
10th anniversary cobra wheels
All autometer phantom gauges-5" tach with shiftlight in A/C vent, oil pressure, fuel pressure, fuel level, water temprature, boost.
AEM wideband
Everything on the car has been converted to 87-93 except the dash. When I got the car it had no front clip on it. It has previously had a stock 302 with a pony downs twin turbo kit on it. He had decided to go back to a 4 eyed front end so he sold the other. Well when he took the front clip off, some offered him a procharged 98 cobra for his 302, turbo kit, and tko600. So I got the car after that. When he had the car painted, it was stripped to bare metal, and had EVERYTHING taken off the car (hatch, fenders, all interior) and was painted Dupont Corvette black, Mercedese silver, and Mazda Red. The car was jammed when it was painted and even goes underneath the door panels. The paint and pin strip theme even carries over to the cage. When the car came out of the paint booth, he had new carpet, new door panels, new headliner, new plastic installed inside. He then put new window motors, and lock actuators in.
Since I have got the car, I have put a Skinny Kid Racing 5 1/2" extended cowl hood, 91 front fenders, 91 LX front bumper on and Bogart D10 wheels. I haven't got around to installing the fenders and bumper. I am waiting on my head lights to get here. I have ordered some smoked headlights for it.
I am in the middle of building the rear suspension and rear end. The car is going to the paint booth pretty soon to get the front end painted. Everything is already wired up for an Aeromotive Eleminator fuel pump and so on. The motor/transmission/turbo set up is still being kept secret, but will be released soon enough. Here are a few pictures of the car so car so far disassembled, and a few with the hood on it.
