very glad to say the car moved using it's own power... no intake, maf, radiator, or fan attached either lol.

i am a liar if i told you i didn't rip a donut before driving onto the trailer...

it drove around the parking lot fine (for 30 seconds lol)... it happend only 2 weeks ago but man it felt good to drive that thing around lol

If you are thinking about por15 you might want to check out rust bulllet. iirc about the same price, but dramatically easier to apply

Not to hurt your feelings or anything but that thing needs to be put down with all that rust it really is not worth messing with IMO spend the money on a clean roller. Now if it was a BOSS or CJ Mustang then I could see it. Have you took a look at the rest of the car? if that is that bad whats the rest look like( floors, rear frame rails)? And yes I know a little bit about bodywork and collision work and you should get that car set up and measured on a machine and pulled close before you start cutting it up to weld in the good stuff. even if you cut it clean back at the fire wall you are gone to have to measure it out.

Here is pretty much how I did mine. Someone previously tried to fix it but couldn't weld worth a crap. I cut it back off and redid it.













I am still not done with it all yet but its together.

Bought my 88 GT like this




Got a radiator support off of another car


Then had my buddy who works at a body shop measure,cut,and weld in the new used piece




Now fortantly for my car the strut towers weren't rusted so he didn't have to cut that far back like it looks like you're going to have to do...if you do end up fixing her up I wish ya luck...hard to see a fox body in that condition.

some interesting repairs. definitely got me thinking...

whats funny is that car is considered clean in my area... my main reason for keeping it was because how original it was (clean title + all vin-tags.. it even had a TRUE mileage title!)

i am still searching for a clean car (virtually impossible in my neck of the woods) to drop my drivetrain into. but i also have this laying around...


this car went 14.1 @ 96 behind a slushbox AOD stock hci before i crashed it. its been sitting for over 3 years and is just now starting to show surface rust.
