Default New project

The Mach 1 is almost as far as I want to take it for now, the next step
will require the car to be down for some surgery, and I have to have
something to take to the track next year.
So starts another project, I just acquired a 85 Mustang LX 4 cyl
for 400$.
After years of working on everyone else's cars, This will be
my first ground up complete build for myself, not a car with a few mods thrown at it.
It's time to put all the things I've learned into one car.

The plan is to build an unequal length wishbone front end, IRS out back,
full chassis and a fully finished interior, 6 speed transmission.
The brakes will be based on the Cobra system from 03.
The car will be built to drive to the track, beat on it hard,
then drive it back home or were-ever else you want.
The power plant, by the standards most use, will be tiny
I've got most the parts already so I'm keeping the 4cyl and
taking it to 2.5L and helping it breath with a SVO turbo.
The four banger will let me put the front rails were I want them to make
room for the long arm fe I have in mind.
