Hello all,Im gonna start a build thred to document my adventures along the way of bringing this FD back from the dead. So heres the skinny,I got this thing for real cheap ,I had been searching for a long time for the right one & i found it.

Stance coilovers
Stock body (for now) just an OEM front lip & feed add on sides,some type of rear diffuser(not sure witch one yet)
Roll cage,gonna keep it simple for now at least.....
Wheels are Work rezax 18x10.5 front & 18x12 rears +12 all around

^^^^ I got the rolling chassis ,clean title + some aftermarket goodies for 2400.
The story on the car is ,some dude bought it from the original owner,car was stock,then he proceeded to drag race/street race the car so he says??? ..... Blew up the original motor, then shelled out lots of cash for a rebuild & single. I think it lasted less than 1yr(speculation).......
Then it apears the car sat for the last 6 yrs and then he began parting it out... WTF (its worth more complete/semi complete) his loss my gain.
Car was repainted once from what I can see,pretty nice job too,tried to match the OEM montego blue(slightly darker) was even color sanded & buffed.......
UPDATES------
Weater here has been crappy the last couple wknds,so I just bee sourcing lil small stuff Im missing,picked p 2 kegs for dirt cheap today. Otherwise ,just doing bodywork ,I primed pretty much the whole car,took off rear bumper & support scuffed & pimed all that $h!T......
