Ive been restoring my 1993 Mustang GT for over a year now. Its getting its interior put back in this week and still needs some final touch ups but I finally got the cara together for a family picture!
Pardon the soap residue on the driveway, was powerwashing a couple days ago :neutral: |

Now that I figured out how to resize pictures in ImageShack...
Here are the main problem areas in the suspension: Front Ball Joints: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/rzA9zg.jpg Excessive wheel weights on front wheel: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/1Vo7LQ.jpg Cracks in the rear suspension bushings: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/hVZoZs.jpg Steering Rack Leak: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/zq0X9m.jpg Then we have some grease/oil build up around oil pan: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/kWVAoL.jpg Its all about the journey! |
Re: Meet Bluey! 1994 #353
Many members say just go around and tighten the oil pan bolts...Seems like its common for the oil pan to get just a little seepage...

Re: Meet Bluey! 1994 #353
Is that mustang just a GT or is it a Cobra?

Cervini's "Cobra" body kit because I always liked the 1993 Cobra R and have been building the car as a track toy since day one. Figured I'd make my version of what Ford could have done using somewhat period correct suspension upgrades (stuff available in the 90/00s) "Almost done"... |

Congratulations once again on the purchase. :cheers:

Re: Meet Bluey! 1994 #353
Doing some more digging as Im planning the first round of maintenance/upgrades for the rest of the year.
Popped the ECM cover to inspect the chip and it turns out its from Dominic Sorresso (XFireZ51). After talking with Dominic, the chip he burned for the car was for the 441 engine that was previously in the car. Pete (from Chicago) removed the 441 engine and reinstalled the factory 350 motor. While in there he ported the intake manifold and injector housings. Im pretty sure that the secondary system was deleted at this time also. He told me that he reflashed the chip so the 350 could run but couldnt tell me any of the details of the upgraded tune thats currently on the car. What I know is that the Power Key light is always on and cannot be defeated. Also the car runs GREAT! LOL I have no complaints at all, I just need to know whats going on so down the road when I add headers/catback the tuner knows what else to include in the chip. (or will the tuner be able to simply mod existing chip to account for future upgrades and leave the rest of it operating as it should?) Either way, the items that need attention sooner than later: Spark Plugs Fuel Filter Front Ball Joints (Upper and Lower) Steering Rack Leak (Tie Rods?) Lower Driver Seat (Seat Pan mod or bottom cushion mod?) Winter Project: Rebuild suspension with RideTech Kit (StreetGrip vs Coilover Package?) Also have a line on some headers and a catback system from a forum member. |

Nice grab. Thought about that one a few times when I was shopping. Many happy miles and smiles.
