Koble build

[Koble]

well this isnt my main project but it is something i planned on getting back eventually and finally did. some of these pictures i have posted before but i decided i would just do a whole build thread so they are all togeather

The car- 89 Mustang Lx has been Mystichrome, BMFL's, and Ubers, car i owned it for 4 years and got rid of it for a year or two

car never had alot of attention in the cosmetics department everything seemed to be kind of halfassed on that section of it, performance it ran good for what it was, a pretty wore out bottom end with heads cam and intake it went 12.5 at 110

after i got this car back the guy i sold it to had stripped the interrior to put a cage in and starting to do body work any ways here goes alot of pictures



this is the car before i sold it, the picture does make it look pretty good, but whoever painted it didnt do a very good job

[Koble]

here it is about 15 hours of body work after i got it back there was alot of damage due to poor paint also had a few big dents on quarter and ect.

[Koble]

next it was time for primer and a ton of wet sanding then primer and then wet sanding then primer then wet sand then primer then wet sand this process had to be near perfect that was the reason for 4 coats of primer and wetsanding, i had about 50 hours in this

[Koble]

finally it was time for paint, it seemed like it would never come but it it turned out great for what we had to work with here it is painted with no clear almost liked this even more then i do with clear







my buddy steve spraying it (thanks steve)

[Koble]

now comes the clear coat, car was still covered/taped off at the time of these pictures but it looks pretty good

[Koble]

so now that it was painted i decided you know... the engine bay really really looks like shit, someone at sometime took a hammer to one of the strut towers to make it clear something it looks like, and the engine bay was still white from the origional paint job, so i decided id pull the motor and make the engine bay look nice also, and clean up the wiring too since theres not one clip holding it up.





my biggest complaint about the car was always this strut tower, so i figuared...its painted outside and this would turn someone off of ever buying the car if they wanted it so i decided to lay some glass down not bad for my first time.

[Koble]

of course i couldnt leave the tired 302 in there, so i ended up pulling grass' old shortblock out of my corner and decided to throw that in the car. specs are tfs heads tfs2 cam edelbrock intake 2500 mile forged 306, and 12 psi through a 70mm turbo also found some engine paint that matches the car very nicely

heres the motor process



7qt moroso pan




These are all my pictures as of right now im kind of at a stand still trying to find someone with a sandblaster to knock all this paint off of my intake.

let me know what you guys think

[Koble]

oh yeah thanks jamie for the heater, works great

[Sukkoi19]

Heh no problem. Do you have a vitamin deficiency?

[Blackfox]

Man thats an awfully extensive side project. That should be awesome when its done.

[Koble]

Yeah it should be, it'll be for sale as soon as I get it thrown togeather, I'm not sure if I'm going to cut the cage out or not, seems like a lot of work, but then again the only way id keep it is without a cage

[Blackfox]

I have a blower kit that would look pretty sweet on that

[Koble]

i think they look tacky and its hard to get in and out of, on the bright side... it keeps the ladies from getting away as easy

if you ever bring that car up again... (landfill comment here)

i think someone started to build that as a derby car then put lisence plates on it and that was the reason for the cage... unless low 15 second cars need a cage.

hahahahahaha nice
