View Full Version : My 89 Coupe Build

I picked this car up over the fall of last year. It was in awesome shape, the guy I had bought if off of had already done quite a bit of work to it. He was going to build a 8.5 car with it, but found out he was expecting a little one. Lucky for me, lol!

This is how it looked the day I got it home:

My original plan with the car was to run a 347 and c4. I had bought a '91 coupe that I raced last year. My fiance really liked the car and bought it off me to do a turbo set-up on. I was going to take my 347 and c4 out of it and drop into the new coupe. Then I lucked into a smokin' deal on a 408, so the plan changed (not like that EVER happens with a project car, right?)

408, svo block. I hate scraping paint.

After some cleaning and painting, things are starting to look a little better. Picked up some TFS r-series heads...

Got the car into the paint booth about a month or so ago. I wanted to do something a little different and went with World Rally Blue. I've never seen it on a mustang before and I love the color on the Subie's.

The car came with grey interior, which I think would have looked ok. But I lucked across black interior and decided to go with it instead. Still need to make a rear seat delete. Even got the headliner back in. Everywhere yellow showed through I sprayed with truck bed liner.

Picked up a few more goodies. Took forever to get my Kooks headers in, but it was worth it. Have some odds-n-ends coming in this week for it. Oil pump, pushrods, gaskets, etc.

Got some of the glass in this past weekend and patched up a couple spots in the floor. The doors are painted and awaiting buffing. Our paint guy started on the trunk lid and was hoping to get the hood and one bumper cover done by this coming weekend.

We had an '02 bugeye a couple years ago for a daily that was wrb and I fell in love with the color. That's one reason I wanted this car, I wanted to be able to pick the color. My other coupe was grey (and primer and black and red, lol) and I would have been happy with it but this deal worked out alot better for both of us :)

Stangman
02-08-2012, 04:38 PM
Bugeye.... eww lol

I worked there in '07 and that was a sweet bodystyle...

It was fun to Brake-boost them going down beechmont ave.

Thanks for the compliments!!

Doesn't look like anymore will get painted on the car this weekend. Kind of bummed out about that. But, still managed to start tidying up the loose ends of the engine tonight. Any progress is good progress ;) Also discovered I'm missing some of the window trim and am not having much luck so far finding any :rolleyes:

what window moldings do you need

Tabitha
02-13-2012, 01:17 AM
I need the window trim molding for both doors. I think that is what it's called, those two thin pieces of metal that go between window channel seal and the window frame itself. I searched latemodel and was surprised they didn't have it.

Didn't get much accomplished this weekend. BUT, I did walk into the shop to find this wonderful surprise...

(No clear on the trunk lid yet)
http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr88/ShakeAndBake444/89%20Mustang%20Build/B002-1.jpg

I did manage to get my msd box in, I guess it's still progress, lol. ;) Also ordered new door molding. Found out my door panels won't work so am going to have to buy some new ones. Trivial I guess, but the way everything is coming together I don't want to cut any corners.

And I did decide that whenever my coupe is finally finished, I want to drive it to get groceries, just so my fiance can stand in the parking lot and hold my trunk lid and fasteners. Mean? Okay, maybe a little mean and a little funny :D

This blue is turning out to be a hard color to photo, so I tried to a couple different things to show the metallic.

http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr88/ShakeAndBake444/89%20Mustang%20Build/B377.jpg

Stood and stared at it for way to long :o, so only got my shifter mounted and starting spraying the trunk, until I ran out of spray. Bumper covers are in the paint booth! I'll be so glad when there's no more painting to do and we can get to putting the real goods in the car!

Well... this has been an AWESOME weekend ;)

We had an epiphany and decided to ditch the QA1 k-member to save time with not having to fool with fabbing up motor mounts. I bought the AJE k-member instead, so we got those swapped out today.

Finally got back to the shop this weekend to work on my car. Spending the past few weekends at the track doing pictures is a great motivator to work on one's own junk, lol.


I got to try my hand at painting tonight. I don't think I did to shabby for my first time.

Ordering my door panels this week, got my rear seat delete in, so interior should be 99% done this coming weekend.

My fiance made some adjustments to the front suspension while I was painting and I'm thinking it's sitting a bit better now. Still need to do the rear.

Thank you :)

I washed and cleaned them with Scuff It and after they had dried I wiped them down with a grease/dirt remover. That dried almost instantly and I sprayed them with adhesion promotor. I waited a few minutes and just used trim paint, lots and lots of light coats. I practiced on the cubby hole pockets first and learned that lesson pretty quick, lol.

Sure would love to have you participate in the spring cruise in. I assume the car won't be road worthy by 5/20. Trailor it in or bring a photo album and share what is going on with it. Well done so far. I'm jealous...both of the car and of your automotive talents.:bigthumb

BTW is that a terminiator lurking there in the background??? Wouldn't be redfire would it?

There's a possibility that he could be done by then. We don't get a chance to work on it during the week, so if we don't lose anymore time with it on the weekends there's a chance it could happen. I'd be one happy girl!

And yep, that's a redfire terminator sitting there. It's gorgeous, belongs to our buddy that painted my car.

Tabitha

What door panels did you order and where from?

They were ordered from americanmuscle.com it was the best deal we could find on them. They are just black door panels for manual windows for an 87-93 coupe/hatch. They didn't come with any hardware, it's just the panels.

Picked up a new (to me) r-series intake, thanks to nxcoupe! It's uh...tall. Actually had some clearance issues we had to tweak around.

And last but not least, just for shits and giggles put this plate on it, lol. IDK, I think I might keep it :)

There's a possibility that he could be done by then. We don't get a chance to work on it during the week, so if we don't lose anymore time with it on the weekends there's a chance it could happen. I'd be one happy girl!

And yep, that's a redfire terminator sitting there. It's gorgeous, belongs to our buddy that painted my car.

Look forward to seeing you all come up. Have your painter tag along in that termy as well. The more the merrier. Groups are beginning plans to meet up and cruise in together.

Maybe a month or so. We only get to work on it one day a week, usually Sunday's, so progress is slow :(

Got my sticky Mickey's on! Happy happy gal. :D Going to clearance the inner fender wells so we can tuck them a bit. Would have started on that tonight, but I ordered the wrong damn 9" ends. :bangwall:

I think I'm going to buy new frontrunners too. Amazing how a build spirals completely out of control, lol.

Getting the rest of the odds-n-ends tidied up under the hood. Hoping, HOPING, we may be firing it up next weekend. All depends on getting the wiring done.

We also bought another one about a month ago we'll be starting on this winter, don't have any major plans for it yet, just tossing around ideas at the moment although I'm really hoping that there will be boost somewhere in the plans :)

No, not yet. We took it out again but didn't make any progress. Won't be able to take it back out til next weekend. So we'll see what happens then. I've got a couple videos, just haven't had a chance to get them uploaded yet. :)

A friend sent me a message when we were on our way home from the track Saturday and told me about it, I hadn't had any idea. That was pretty cool! I was enjoying some of the guesses, including Chicken Sammich, Waldo, and a Prius motor, lol. :)


Here's a couple better pics of it.

Nice job. Hope you cotinue respecting your abilities, the place, the talent, the time, the help, and the finances to do such a great job. Very well done to both of you. The car looks very nice. Thanks for sharing throughout the project. Hope to see it in action someday.

Sweet photos BTW. Love the dusk shot in front of the hauler. Did that need a Tripod? Curious mind.

Thanks! No I didn't use a tripod. I did turn my exposure down a bit to help bump up my shutter speed, it was at 1/20 sec.
