I picked up a 67 mustang fastback 05-2010, it was in a running condition, but not a safe one, so i decided to go ahead and do a full rotisserie restoration. My knowledge is only limited to 67-68 mustang fastbacks, im not familiar with the other years so i figured id do what i know and do it the best i can. Since the car is not any rare code and just a simple 289 fastback AT, i have decided to go ahead and make it into an Eleanor. If it was an S code, GTA or something else rare it would probably be smarter to restore it into its original state.

Here is a few pics of the car when i got it home

engine had to be pulled out with the trans and the radiator support was cut in the middle, both aprons will need replacement, and radiator support was bent up and cut up a little, so it needed to go.

got the shell to get it media blasted and primer sealed. got it back and put it on a rotisserie. soon im hoping to start cutting and welding in some new metal in the many found rust holes. It feels good to start a new fresh build Smiley

rear end was rebuild, with new seals, 3.40 gears put in and limited slip installed.
T5 world class was also taken apart by a trans shop and resealed, all internals are new and set to go.
