staffy

I’ve been rather busy at work, so still being doing a bit, but between work.
finally finished the welding, long list is done !
Now onto main body work.
Just purchased the SoT coil overs. Long wait to get it over U.K. .....never done this mod before so intrigued as to how it will work out. 

Here’s my other mustang, 70 Mach 1 which I’ve restored over an 8 yr period 

Quick update, the car is still in the body/paint shop, progress a little slow,  but some decent  progress finally being made now.
Panels all lined up and the doors had a lot of work on them to retain the original skins. 

I was being optimistic to be fair, but I have aligned most of the panels and striped a few down to bare metal.
Major jobs are the Door skin to change,  hood front to sort (minor dents) and the repro fender to sort out.
my guy is pretty fast and he has capacity now, so that’s why it’s gone a little earlier then I expected it 
he re-painted my Mach 1 about 12 months ago so I know his work.
Just need to  decide on paint colour, I’m really torn on colour, Wish me luck

Actual mustang II? At least the crossmember looks to be a factory piece. Hubs are 5 lug though.

Fitment was great.  I had to pass the drivers side up from under the car because of the brake booster being in the way and you have to tighten spark plugs 7&8 with a wrench attached to the spark plug socket but other than that it was easy.
 


 

I'm for blue. He is more spectacular. You can also try to help me or use it play chef. I want to start, but I don't know all the details

Restomod = Grey/Black!

Acapulco.

Tom Monroe has a really good book on rebuilding the Windsor. 

Love that stance and great colour 

New parts day. 

I do like that gray with black, however probably Red would appeal to more buyers.

I’ve always liked Gulfstream Aqua. 

How about Champagne Gold

I am partial to the Acapulco Blue myself, but I do like the Grey with black hood or strips and an option.  

Acapulco blue with blackout hood treatment.

You guys in the US are so lucky to have space and relatively cheap real estate, unless of course you live in cities like San Fran, Seattle etc. Real estate and space over here in the U.K. is expensive and hard to come back. 
not long finished my new garage, 6metresx4metres which I think is small by US standards, but I managed to get in  a 2 post hoist and lots of Dexion storage racking,
id love a lathe  to teach myself but alas unlikely as not enough space :-(
