I was bored so I figured id make a post on our latest project. A 1970 mustang coupe my brother picked up awhile back for cheap. It was mostly rust free but had a few dents,needed paint,interior,tranny leaked, engine knocked and needed a new hood. So far we have it stripped down and the body is all strightened out. We are rebuilding the old 302 ourself with some good parts in it [
] The C4 tranny is being gone through at a repair shop. ill keep you updated as it should look pretty sweet when its done.
Didnt snap a actual pic when we first got it but it looked alot like this,ugly gold..It will be grabber blue with clear coat when its done.
