Hi Everyone!
Thought I might introduce myself and my Mustang. My name is Justin, I'm 25 and from Melbourne. And this is my black with black deluxe trim 1966 A-Code with a4v 289 and 3 speed top loader. I purchased the car in May of last year sight unseen off eBay. Thought it was too good a deal to pass up. So with the deposit down. I flew up to Newcastle to pick it up and drive it back home.
After a smooth journey home over 2 days was completed, I got stuck into turning it into something a bit closer to what I wanted. I'm setting the car up to see some track time but still require something I can put the family in and go for a cruise.
So far the list of mods looks something like this:
-Fibreglass bonnet with pins
-Removed front bumper
-Export brace and Monte Carlo bar
-Global West upper and lower control arms
-Ajustable strut rods
-Roller spring perches
-600lbs from springs with a coil cut off
-1 1/8" front sway bar
-185lbs TCP rear leaf springs
-Koni Classic shocks all round
-Wheels upgraded to 7x15 with 225/60R15 tyres. Would still like a set of 15x7 Torq Thrusts to run a set of semi slicks on.
-Full exhaust system with Tri-Y extractors with mandrel bent 2.5" pipes to a spintech boom tube that exits on the passenger side
Future mods planned:
-Unisteer manual rack and pinion. Have read of some fitment issues so man go with a 16:1 box and Shelby arms
-Disc brake front end conversion. Most likely will go with the Wilwood Dyalite kit.
-Replace floors and install convertible inner stills and torque boxes.
-Replace running gear with roller 302, T5 box and 3.9 ratio 9 inch.
Here's a photo of the car when I purchased it.
