Old Red update Thread #2

[stevewl1164]

That rear bumper bar is TOUGH, at least when not rusted...mine took about a twenty mph hit by an isuzu impulse and did not get hurt except a slight pucker...wish the quarter panel was the same...it crinkled like a coke can!

I did some more work on Old Red this weekend, and got some more parts.

Just some pics before the work started




Old Red and my other car (1993 Mustang LX) Haven't touched the stang since I got Old Red....


Put the car on jackstands and removed the front wheels/tires to remove the rusty old brakelines


Painted the calipers (I'll paint over the black with red later on)



Rust repair still isn't done


Then I took the rear bumper off, I still can't believe how much dirt/junk fell out of it!









And I now have a full set of 12" trim rings thanks to Lanemeyer14 I bought 3 from him, and the car came with 1


I also bought a 88-89 style grill that i'll be modifying

And hopefully sometime soon I'll be getting some parts off my friends dad's festivas.
Like the:
Hatch off this 89 LX


Split rear seat?



Seats out of this 88 or 89 and the manual seatbealts, headliner, interior trim to complete the swap out of that car or the LX.



I'm also going to get the side molding off the LX, and the power mirrors.
