Back to my old ways

"Skymate sunroofs were manufactured in Europe. They have been discontinued. Service parts are in short supply. Measure your sunroof OUTER frame to verify which model you have."

This is whats in there...


I might just forget about doing a full restore on this chassis, but build up a nice driveline, suspension and braking setup.. then source out a cherry low mileage untouched hatch and put my winning combo into it.

use this as my test platform to perfect a setup I am happy with.

here is the parts car.. 89 GT .. I drove it home and for a few months after I got it... Just been pecking away at it.. trying to get what I want and get it out of my driveway honestly.







Picked up some 4-eyed parts, going to swap into that. Love the look, don't want to buy a new chassis.. It will have roll up windows, and eventually the roof off my 89, with the proper sunroof. Going carb'd 302 for a while. Eventually a worked 351 someday. It has a 5 lug setup, drum in the back, but I have a lincoln / Saleen disc 5 lug to go in the rear after I build it how I want too.

So I am making slow progress, with a lot of help from Greg "StangitMan".

Did some more work yesterday and today.


Mike (solsi2000) stopped by to help out and this is why we didn't get much done...rollin down teh driveway is better than the strawberry fest rides! Thanks for the help Mike!



we found this in the parking lot at LKQ... its the only thing they had there of interest.. The only mustang we found that morning was in a scrap yard, on top of a pile. A perfect 85 GT going to get crushed, they wouldn't sell it .. Some guy tried to sell us a 91 GT with a caved in roof and standard "6 speed" for 3500



Then this happened.. K member bolts are tough !



we had to stop there , because I had a BBQ to go to , so I finished up today.. it looked a little something like this.. I wonder why my HOA hates me..




couple more teasers of the car coming together.. just the way I want it, one of a kind.

Thanks !

Next step is to pull the rear end and gas tank from the donor... separate the engine and trans, degrease the hell out of it all and get a new gasket set for the engine.

put the brakes and k member in, then the engine / trans.. that should get me driving, then I can work on the interior. ..

That's the plan , but its always changing so.. one day at a time with it, no rush.

Yes you do! It rained my whole time off though, and I'm back to work on a steady schedule for another month basically. I might jump into it sometime next week for a day though. Most likely I won't be doing anything major if I do get to it.

If the saleen kit is there in a few weeks I might get it.

Mike (solsi2000) came over again and we cut up the car pretty good. Still have some left to go, I had been up for about 24 hours and worked 12 of them already before I started this, so we had to call it an early day.

roof is off for my swap, and I also found a reason why it might have been running a little rough.. its just a fuel line
