1979 mustang hatch rebuild. Actully making progress

]i bought this car 5 years ago when i was 15 and it has been an ongoing project it started with a clutch and 7 qt oil pan then i put a mild cam in the car and it ran great for a 16 year old kid then i went to chassis and rear suspension frame ties and boxed lower and upper control arms and a locker then i put a brand new carb in it and went from 343 gears to 4.10's and the car woke up it was running very strong i even got it to hook enough to pull the front driver side tire off the ground on the street then someone vandalized it they poured something in my gas tank and it ate my brand new carb and my intake gaskets so i tore it down to a short block and decided it was time to get it running realy strong so im doing a blow through carb turbo setup with a better set of heads and a victor jr intake and a better cam

i want the car to run low 11's thankfully i have alot of friends that have done boost because its completely new to me and ive heard that blow through setups are kinda goofy but i cant afford to by an efi setup yet
 
hey i need rep too SINCE I MADE THE SCREEN NAME LOL i gave it too him cause his screen name wouldnt let him do shit
since you didn't specify pos. or neg. rep, i'll assume neg.........because chuck fucking norris would never need help with his screen name. hell, they invented the internet just to show his fight vids on!!!......








j/k.......hit ya's too.........
 
i might actually work on it tomorrow if i do ill post some pics i gotta pull front sway bar out and my exhaust system its forsale if anyone wants a 2 1/4 or hpipe with brand new mid pipes and flowmasters let me know
 
well i haven't been able to really work on the car much just disassembly because i was unemployed for a month and i just got a job but im pretty sure the whole motor needs to be freshened up, i took a closer look at the rings today and there all coated with the same white shit that was inside my carb and heads. :crap: so it now looks like its gona be alot longer before its done.
 
not bad for 500 bucks is it? The only problem with the body is it had a small hole in the floor the body only has 100000 miles on it
