Yeah, you got a great deal... [smilie=inquisitive.gif]
lol. Man, that looks like a pretty good amount of work ahead of you. I would love to e able to do something like that. I can do the body work, I just don't have the money or garage to do it. :(
Are you keeping it after you finish it? |

| Wow you sure its worth fixing looks like frame and body as well as suspenion ... When i wreaked my 99 and( it was 6 months old )it didnt look near that bad but the body shop told me not to rebuild it cause it would never be the same ,,,,,And would probably never drive right :? :? |

It really isn't that bad. I will take a few shots of it tomorrow to show how far I am. The passenger side rear - I bought the piece from ford for $300 - it is the entire quarter! It goes all the way up to the door. I haven't put that on yet. So far I have removed the hood, radiator, ac cooler, and fan. I pulled the radiator support and removed the bumper and bumper brace. The lower radiator support bracket was bent, so that went to. Stay tuned more pics to come!!
I am thinking about keeping this one. If I do, the first thing that is going in is a supercharger.
Does anybody know if the 8.8 rear is the same width as the prior years? Yellow you out there??
Hey Evil - what is the J mod?? |

Looks like a fun project bringing that back to life! I agree with evil, nothing wrong with the auto's.. I prefer manual myself, but a few mods to the auto and they are quite the tranny!!
Arent the 05's 5spd autos too??? Whats the code name for them, I know the older GTs had a 4R70W...
Also what kinda blower... centri or a kenne bell? |

Man, you did a lot of great work on that thing. Nice!
I like the added stuff, such as the hood. They are nice touches. How does it drive?
Hey, I'm building a house at the moment also. It doesn't mean you can't peep your head in here a couple times a week.lol |
