So this was a car that I got from my brother for free. The body was in good shape, brakelines were gone and that was not worth fixing. So I decided to cut everything out and start from the beginning. Its set up with a Mustang II front clip, Chevy 4.3 V6, and getting a blow thru carb with a Holset HX40 turbo. The rear end is an 8.8 IRS from a Lincoln Mark VIII with a 3.07 right now, also have a 3.55 and factory lsd on the shelf.




 
Ponyryd, you from Windsor?
Off topic, had the Magnum on the flatbed today with a sidewall blowout doing 120 kph on EC Row. A simple screw in the wall, and the low profile tires don't make a noise when they are flat, the only difference was a slight pull to one side.
 
Yep, totally out of the game aside from flipping the odd car and randomly checking forums...see the Maggy around a lot, not sure about the new rims dude, lol.
That looks like a helluva project you have there, tons of fab work already done by the looks of it. I'm sure you already know to see Tom for any additional metal or mandrel pipe bending you need.
 
Tom already knows that I'm coming to see him for the rest of my turbo tubing. Since these pics of the Sentra, I've pulled the motor, filled the firewall and front half of the floor and tunnel. Also got my new racing seat from Summit, had to go with a poly double walled pro-street seat as I could not fit a factory seat in there, tried the stock and a 1986 RX-7 seat, both were too wide. More pics to come hopefully this weekend.
 
need some reverse offset wheels

cool project thinking out of the box loving the Mark VIII rear that's next under my F100
 
The wheels are 15x8.5 with a -8 offset that were left over from my old truck, haven't decided what wheels to run yet and thats why fenders have not been cut in the back. Will have some new pics up tomorrow night, didn't get the car back on the ground until after dark tonight
