The original goal of that build was to make a road race car out of it but it came out too nice. So this build is making up for that one :).

I wasnt planning on buying this car until the Coyobra sold (if interested PM Me), But this car came into my lap and I couldnt refuse.

Its a 2005 V6 Mustang with a Manual. Straight body and only 2 owners!
Its gonna be a fun build

You have a very nice build under way. Keep the post and pictures coming.
This is something that I always wanted to do but getting old and a family got in the way. So now I just read and look at pictures and dream.
You are off to a great start for your track ready beast.

Drew- I thought of you when I saw the gutting. Haha.

Should be a fun build. Recently I've been missing my Roadrunner and staring at my 64 Falcon convertible. Ahhh the possibilities there... I've had the car for 30 years now, it might be time for a radical change.

We ran those wings on our Roush Track Pak Mustangs a few years back. They work. APR has a spacer kit for the uprights if you want to make it 2" taller or so.

Well I was able to get the Axle back in the car, Had some issues with the Brakes and Hoses but got it all figured out. Turns out since the car has no ABS, The rear actually has a Splitter in the old brake line, So I had to flare a T in for the new Steel lines.
Other than that threw the rear coil overs in and the new Wheels on!

Also put on the new Enkei Wheels with NT01 Rubber, Looks pretty sick!
