1967 Mustang Convertible Pro-Touring project

I haven't posted any of the cars I've built here, mostly because I don't have time and partly because some of them have their own build threads (Mike!). Since I work alone, I thought I would show you guys so I can actually have some conversation around the stuff I'm building instead of just chipping away at it everyday.

Here's goes:
This is the Mustang, virtually untouched. I had pulled the driveshaft and radiator and fuel tank already, but it's not like it added enough weight to lower the car or anything. I wanted to get a video of it running before I tore it down or at least a picture.. but I don't think people really care about what a car looked or ran like BEFORE it went into the shop.. do they?










Phew. This is a lot of work. Lat-G doesn't like uploading direct from my external drive, so I'm having to upload them to photobucket first. Oh, and this laptop doesn't like my iPhone, so I had to plug into the work laptop and transfer the photos to my external drive so I could plug into this laptop. (who else is putting two hours into a post? Anyone else as silly as I am?!)

Moving on. I specialize in wiring which happens to go hand in hand with EFI conversions. So that's what this car came in for.. he wanted it to start and drive and have more power. Believe me, I tried and tried to talk this guy out of converting a 6 cylinder Mustang.. but you can only lead a horse..

So I bought a donor car so I could get all the wiring and extra goodies that don't come from a junkyard or crate purchase. I thought I had a pretty good deal when I went to check it out. 113k miles, body was messed up so I was hoping the engine was good. After I removed it and tore it down, I found this.





This stuff happens, right? Right. I guess, I'll just fork it over for another engine.
