    My SV-Slow

    Here is a few pictures of my 85.5 SVO that i got last fall and I have been working on as of late. After about 80 miles of backroad street abuse I destroyed something in the trans and ruined the original clutch pretty good trying to get it home after that. So a junk yard trans (86 TurboCoupe, 4.03 1st gear ratio) went in with a RAM clutch, as well as a new aluminum drive shaft, hurst handle and pro 5.0 shifter. Its all back together now and I am chasing vacuum leaks and whatnot. Got several fun plans for it that I will keep you updated on :) And oh, there is no rust along the rockers, thats just some of the original bracket stuff for the spats that will go back on. One of the previous owners installed saleen side skirts and rear bumper cover with (no joke) super glue and i am in the midst of removing it and it will go back to the factory spats (and the other saleen stuff will go up for grabs) And oh, no pokes at my photo taking. I just pulled it off the road by my house and snapped a few pictures fast as the camera was acting up. so quality and location is not good. more pics later :D

    let me warn you try and fix that fender they are svo specific and a stock mustang will require some work where the front bumper cover raps around it. and i have one spat if you need it ?

    Excellent Shaun !!!!! I might yank a foglight out of mine to get work to that status. The only other thing almost as cool is a limberger cheese bumber cover (like swiss cheese, but on a 2.3 car, so it smells a little funny and has some mold on the edges).

    Sorry Bill - To be in the mafia, you need to have a 2.3 car :D Wanna talk about a swap on the Fairmont ;) Talk to Larry about how he likes his now

    Frank - It still looks slow, bwhahahahahahahahaha you knew that was coming ;)

    Bill- The 2.3T in the Fairmont would be an EXCELELNT idea!! And the cover looks very nice in the SVO! Thanks again :)

    Steve- I need to get them damn wheel locks off to take the wheels off the other side :D And thanks for puttin that pic up. That is one thing my new computer does NOT actually have (the old pics)

    Bob- I know its slow, thats why its gettin a plate that says something along the lines of "SV-SLOW" :D

    Troy- I think I can have this fender saved, it looks worse in the pics than it really is.

    Thanks for all the nice comments :D
