    88 mustang gt, in need of body

    hey im adam. ive been a member for some time but never really got on to much till recently.to start off i own a 1998 mustang v6 i drive daily and i have a 1988 gt im building. i bought it about 5 months ago and had alot of surprises. the strut towers are rusted through. i had to replace the gas tank and fuel pump already. once i started tearing everything down i found out it was camed (think it was an F cam, says F on the first journal) but the cam bearings were trashed which messed uo the cam and had a blown head gasket. also has a cracked fuel injector and bad clutch. ive already bought an upper and lower gt40p intake, heads with performance valve springs (im getting the valves cut at monarch soon) and an A9L computer, msd box and pistons for it. im buying things i know i can afford right now and saving my money for the rest of my build. one of my buddys is helping me out by cleaning the block out at his shop so i should have the blck back soon to start putting it all back together which i hope i can get done before i go to college in june. im probably missing alot of info that i should put on here but if i think about it ill put it up later.

    Sounds like a cool project. I know about strut towers rusting out. I did my front frame rails too. Good luck.
