81 fairmont project

[quickstang1983]

I picked up an aluminum driveshaft today for $84. The ends had to be swapped but i think it was a good price considering my other option of having Shaftmasters make me one for $300. Who wouldve thought a 2wd 4 door explorer shaft would end up fitting perfect (and be aluminum). Gotta love the internet lol!

It seems like that car should run much better than 11.80s even on street tires. Maybe he was taking it easy.

I actually saw this car for sale in Oxford last year and was thinking it would make a great project. Looks great!
