smooth

Started on the notch for my wife this weekend, should be getting bead blasted here shortly. Hoping to have the body ready for paint by Aug. 1st, I forget how much work it is to disassemble a car 23 years old.... nuts & bolts just don't come out as easy :headscrat

nice project. i'd have grabbed that car myself, but i've got enough irons in the fire...lol...you need help with any oem ford stuff of any kind, gimme a hollar. 25 yrs. experience at your service.....:thumbsup:
 
Made some progress today since I was given a long weekend :), removed front clip-bumper supports-rear cover-doors-interior-decklid-trunk interior-window moldings.

Tomorrow the rear end,gas tank,brake lines,fuel lines and any wiring, hopefully it will get blasted withing the next week or so. It looks like I'm gonna have to replace lower core support (no biggie) but all in all she's pretty clean!!

Any thoughts on the drivetrain yet?

Nothing set in stone yet,options are the usual. I have a suspension kit for the first 2 options so I'm gonna try and go the cheapest route :)

A)LSX/A4
B)4.6 DOHC/4r75w
C)SBF/AODE
or I've been thinking about a GN motor trans combo (just to be different)
