I posted this on another site and figured I'd do the same here. What do you guys think? My future thoughts are toward a 66 fastback and I haven't really made up my mind about this car yet. If I keep it, it's getting a full cage, cobra bumper and SVO side skirts.

My cars already gone through a couple major top end overhauls but I thought I'd start a build thread to show the parts.

96 DFG GT Convertible
3 owners
Bought with 68k miles in 2005

First set of wheels


New Black Top and new GF who is now my wife


Second Set

After the First PI Heart transplant

New wheels, Paint, HO Fibertrends RR 3.5" Hood, Mach1 Chin Spoiler, ROUSH Wing, and crappy AudoBadges 281 emblems, rear MUSTANG & Dumps which is always temporary. (I keep taking them off then putting them back on so you'll see in the progress pictures, lol.)




More New wheels And New Paint, Black Stripe on the Cowl, Painted Tail Lights, Smoked Headlights, Real Emblems that don't chip after two hand car washes





Vortech 10lbs 3.12 pulley, Air to Air, Painted the intake Blue (Some liked it some hated it)

Another new Alarm (The previous owner had to have been a retard. I ended up replacing 80% of the wiring under the dash and through the car.) I can't find any pictures of the new dash/DD deck setup. I'll update them as I find them.








If you're going to rewire your engine harness, smack that B!tch with force.


Another of the car.

After 14 hours, I have finally finished my engine wiring harness. Unfortunately I need to get the car together for tuning and I don't want to risk any more wiring gremlins so the Fuse/Relay distribution box and harness need to wait until the car is running tip top first.

Here's the all new wiring harness. It's a cell phone picture.



New Rails, again

I'll see if I still have it, I switched to COP's to take care of an odd low idle miss.

It's no big deal if you can't find any. Did you use the COP bolt holes on the intake to mount the brackets though?

No I mounted them in the center of the intake.

I've gotta be honest, I really don't like the look of the pre-NewEdge SN95's and I wasnt really digging most of your earlier appearance setups but the way you have it now is lookin mighty fine. Don't evarrrr change it, especially the rims. I really liked the blue intake manifold **** anybody that didn't. Crazy changes to that car.

Unfortunately I liked the looks of your bro's more but i'm partial to DSG/New Edges. Is your bro "doughboy"? Isnt he vorteched w/ 10% overdrive? That car looks a lot like a dude on here named "doughboy" or somethin.
