As far as parts go, you talking about an inventory of parts that I need or that I have? Because if its parts that I need, I don't even want to get started on that list lol thats scary and I don't need to worry about that for a while. Getting the body together is main priority right now, than suspension, than rear, than trans/motor... and paint last of coarse.

Sorry that was supposed to say POR15 (http://www.por15.com/). I can see how the front bolts up but the rear I'm kind of confused about because I don't think that the rear bumper bolts on the same as the front (I dont remember it anyway). I guess I have to just take the rear bumper off and check it out myself. I tried to PM the guy but he never got back to me.
Also, not sure if its only me or not but it seems that theres just one post on each side and thats it..... doesen't look very stable to me :/

Whats up fellas! Its been a LONG TIME since I've been on MF but once again, I'm back into it and trying to continue on my project. For you who don't know I have an 88 GT that I stripped down a few years ago. As it sits right now its a total POS. No interior, no motor, trans, gas tank, front clip (fenders, bumpers, etc.) and it needs A TON of work. Basically, I'm broke *story or my life* but I still want to do all that I can thats within my budget since theres alot that I can do that won't cost much.
To start, I tried restoring the interior a few years back. It came out alright but I think my standards are raised a little bit since than so I want it redone. I gutted it and wire-wheeled every inch. Primered it and than sprayed down some sort of "bed liner" coating. Like I said it came out alright but I want it redone, plus I need to weld in new floorpans its gotta be chopped up anyway. So if anyone wants to follow the build that would be awesome plus I know that it will offer alot of encouragement to get my *** out there and get working on it lol.
So heres on my "things to do" for the next week or two.
1) Figure out a way to redu the interior.
2) Get dashboard mounting frame installed.
3) Replace front radiator support
Right now the car is in my backyard and has been under one of them big *** tents right now. As soon as I get one nice day I'm gonna try and roll it out, get some pictures and get it cleaned up.
Post pics soon!

Well as far as "parts that I have" I'm going to go ahead and claim O. I have alot of the interior and misc BS from when I stripped it down (and what I didn't sell) but I don't plan on using most of it. They're either not in the shape I want them to be or I'm going to need to upgrade.
And just for fun I'm going to start on a list of "future part"... should easily break 30k lol
