Title: 1967 Coupe Restomod One Day To Be Call TUF40D
Post by: TUF40D on May 04, 2011, 11:47:34 pm: hello fellow MUSTANGERS..

I've become a sucker to the world of car building and at a young age aswell it started all cause of my uncle he started bringing over big old yank tanks a couple of years ago im talking the GM tanks it got me thinking about bringing one over and since im a FORD man i couldnt go past the Beautiful MUSTANG...so i got to searching for a car and then i found this beauty reasonable price 67 Coupe.
(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/3.jpg)
Now that i found the one i contacted my uncle about freighting it into australia so he told me all the jargen i needed to know so i got busy finally i got it all ship up and on it way to the great land down under.
once she arrived i got the call to come pick her up so i flew to brissy where it got shipped to and went to pick her up but to my disgust this is how i found her

Post by: TUF40D on May 04, 2011, 11:54:09 pm: so once i seen her like this i was one unhappy camper as you would be car damaged missing the bonnet, boot, front seats, motor, gearbox, front fenders just about useless.
so after months of fighting with the shipper and finally getting my way he said he would repair her well wasn't that a bad idea cause months went by and he kept telling me its in the shop getting repaired really he was waiting on the rest of the car to come into australia.
finally i had enough and i got in contact with the smash reapairs and had a yarn to him he seemed reasonable but to only tell me he hadn't done anything to my car cause the shipper had not agreed to do anything so once this was sorted i get a phone call saying it finished and i can pick her up.
so i get a couple of days of work and drive up and pick her up to find the bodgest job ever done on the repairs ive seen beaches with less waves. but in my disgust and anger i picked her up and drove her home mind you they still didnt have the boot or bonnet nor the front seats which im still waiting on it only been two years since i brought her...(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0152.jpg)
(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0153.jpg)
and im glad i had my ute cause they didn't put the motor back in so in the tray it went(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0156.jpg)

Post by: TUF40D on May 05, 2011, 12:05:30 am: so now as you can see i bare metaled her roof and quarters and to find in typical US fashion mountains of bog in one straight as a nail car which had me wondering why the even bothered putting bog on her there was some rust in the lower passenger quarter around the front of the wheel well and rear lower quarter in which i got to cutting out(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0222.jpg)(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0231.jpg)

and replacing with some new metal

(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0228.jpg)(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0282.jpg)
Title: 1967 Coupe Restomod One Day To Be Call TUF40D
Post by: TUF40D on May 05, 2011, 12:12:09 am: so now with that all done i done away with the old doors and guards went out and brought some new ones
(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0288.jpg)
(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0289.jpg)
this side fitted perfectly unlike the passangers side
(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0284.jpg)(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/TUF40D/IMG_0290.jpg)
in which i had to put the orignal door back on to get it to fit up nicely

now with her in a first gap up stage i decided to send her shell out to the sandblasters and get the engine bay and inside the boot and cab blasted more photos will be posted once she has returned.

mate ..that is unbeleiveable.

is it even the same car & VIN # match at least as in the first pic of the stang?

what did the seller in the USA say?

crikey you'd be LIVID....................

yeah it all the same i spoke to the seller he was sort of annoyed in which i was also see it happened in some where from when it got loaded into the container and unloading cause once i got it picked up from the seller and sent to the shipping yard i had the guy there take photos of when it arrived at the yard and it was still good so somewhere from it there on is where the problem is and thats the only reason why i got it repaired to start with cause i had these photo's luckly which the shipping company didn't know i accquired

Post by: TUF40D on August 01, 2011, 11:11:54 am: its been a long time since ive been on here and very little has been done casue of all this cold weather.

although some has been done, ive edged out the doors, guards, bonnet and boot, i'll supply some photos once my camera will take a good shoot every shoot i take make the colour look totally different.

also i've had her up on a hoist to check the floor plans they put in well should i say half put in and looks like all that good work i done on top of the floors is going to waste as im think whole new floors which will once again slow the process down alot oh well at least my new front end will go in at the end of this week thats a plus..

i'll keep you all posted

if anyone know of someone that would like to help with the floors would be greatly appreacated.

Post by: lukep6470 on February 07, 2014, 02:17:50 pm: [Flamesuit on]

I've been looking at hi-tech options and the 4.2 Audi RS4 motor will just about fit in a 67 engine bay with the stock strut towers. It would look tiny in yours. Quicktime even make a bellhousing for it.

335Kw stock trim NA!!!!!

It's the same spec as the V8 R8 motor. There is a burnt out RS4 on the bay right now and the engine bay looks intact.
