Default Bustang update

Ok I have been putting a 87 Buick Grand National Turbo V6 motor in my 90 Ford Mustang Convertible. Here are some pictures of the engine bay and the painting of the engine bay and roll cage.

Here is the car while everything was being pulled out

Trans shot



Again before paint



Painting in progress









After paint



Engine Mac Up






Had to make my own motor mounts



New shifter

Now here are some pictures of the roll cage
