Looks a lot nice then the 80 or 81 hatchback I had back in high school, it was a 6 cylinder 4 speed car ran and drove when I bought it but never made it to the road. I put a GT front end hood and hatch on the car but then sold it for parts.

[55 HD]

Matches the house. lol looks clean Dave. Now start collecting parts.

Hard for some to believe but the Cobra did not have that OMG spazaz for very long! Don't get me wrong it was a great car but just not what I WANT ! my favorite stang is was and always will be 79-86! But I understand where your coming from I feel the same confused way how people like the mustang II or even the fucking ugly 2015 + stangs.Its all what appeals to you!

[speedfreak]

somewhere, in a dark quiet room, Twister is givin' it a tug to these pics.

[Slick_89_Hatch]

I would NEVER change that interior.....it's so clean and original to the car....uber hard to find! If it were my car, i'd kind build along similar lines to Dutch's car. But it's not mine..lol! So do what makes you happy :)

[MUSTANGWOP]

I agree with Slick Dave, leave the appearance (inside and out) as is and change change the crap out of the drivetrain and suspension.

[Blackmare]

This.

[Slick_89_Hatch]

It's amazing now that those once ugly interiors to me look so amazing now that they are really rare to see. That dash looks freakin awesome.

[Dutch]

that is friggin sweet man yeah dont change it lol that blue with wood grain is all class now make it run bad ass

here is my red

http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq164/dutch2081/received_10156516728395624_zpsharj62cb.jpeg (http://s444.photobucket.com/user/dutch2081/media/received_10156516728395624_zpsharj62cb.jpeg.html)



and a mustard yellow..lol

[speedfreak]

Wow those early 80's colour options lol

[Dutch]

like a pug dog so ugly it is cute kinda thing

[Not4you]

yeah, definitely keep the interior as is. Only changes visually that I would make if it were mine would be an 82 GT nose and different wheels.

[hsousa88]

I like the interior...

[Dutch]

Yeah. Your car sitting on some meats with big ass brakes and a little rake to it. Damn. Now thats what I'm talkin bout. Old school bad ass.

[RedSN]

^^^this.
Bigs and littles pro-stars on a 5-bolt conversion .....done!
+5.0L and T5 conversion of course

[mavrrrick]

Looked at the Yellow/gold?? interior and I think I puked in my mouth a bit. LOL

[Slick_89_Hatch]

So much potential in the car!!!!!

[speedfreak]

Today I scored 2 new 2x2 hss tubes 7 ft long for the through the floor frame connectors.

[jibbijib]

Holy crap Dave make it into a super sleeper! Leave it looking exactly like it looks but do some seriously fun motor and drivetrain work. Surprise a lot of people! Or at least keep the paint scheme cuz thats sexy. I have lx tailpipes you can have for the same price I got them...
Freebie

[Dutch]

hard with the 13 inch wheels..i though about leaving mine the way it is but once you here the cam its no longer a sleeper, like i said earlier big ass meats and brakes and about 400 hp with stock paint and a little rake. golden

[FABMAN]

Wow, that is one clean looking interior! I think I would preserve much of that interior as is (minus the wood grain which I would blackout) as it is too clean to change out IMO.

Personally I would do a 5.0 efi with HCI, tko500 5-spd, 8.8 (3.73) swap, 5-bolt SN brakes, weld rims, 82 or 86 nose with a deep impact blue paint job with blacked out Chrome. Then drive the tires off it!

Going to be a great project. Congrats!

[stangstevers]

Ugly duck clean but ugly interior! I know the porno red is terrible but dam so is the blue lol Oh and No cracks !!!


Not ugly at all! When it's clean original, it's nice as hell. But if you insist in changing it, here's what I'd do to keep it stock but with a few minor upgrades.

1) flock the dash panels, replacing the wood grain. It would look like the SVO. (I did mine in grey: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6ZhsDFmWdQE/T7lpdacxeII/AAAAAAAAEKI/PEJzkBDhHuw454IvWv4SRA3opT2pb3CUwCCo/s1024-Ic42/int.jpg)

2) Black carpet

3) Optional: Replace the black/white tweed in the middle of the seats for black to tie it all together

4) put a clutch pedal in there :D

[Dutch]

Yup 5 lug with fat fr500's

[speedfreak]

Maybe I could stop by Good Friday on my way home and check this thing out, I'll be heading past your neck of the woods about mid day...

I should be home by 3-330ish, 7408 county rd 65 1 km south of #9

[firestarter]

I really dig the factory look of the car, Both inside and out.

[speedfreak]

Well I cant wait any more ugly duck need a heart transplant so lets get that boat anchor out!

[Nsty04SVT]

Do the old girl some justice Dave :dragster: looking forward to this build :cheers:

[HyperGT]

i would mod the junk out of it!

[speedfreak]

For now I have a complete 86 FI engine still in the k member with complete suspension, brakes ,steering, rack ect ect coming as well as the 8.8 so the plan is to swap this in for now to get it driveable while I gather "The good" parts ! ; )

[ZR]

Nice, engine / trans etc out with K member, new stuff in complete.

[speedfreak]

Picked up a donor drive line from an 86 Capri yesterday and after a few beers and by 1:30 am she was nestled in!
