In early May 2015 I drove down to Frankfort KY to look at a 1982 Mustang in a Walmart parking lot. I ended up taking her home. Here’s the first look at the donor car that will contribute many of the parts for my Ford Fairmont project. A lot of the essential components are there, but there is much work to be done as you’ll see in the video. Considering what I paid and what I got, I’m not disappointed. I believe I’ll be able to get most of the parts I need for the project.
The engine is a 302 bored out to 306. It has Ford racing heads as well as other upgraded internals. I’ll likely dig in to check those out at some point. The car is a 5 speed with 3:08 gears and a welded differential. The suspension is defiantly shot, but I may be able to recondition it and use it. I’ll just have to figure out how I can swap over the driveshaft and exhaust. For now I’m driving the car to sort out the issues. When the day comes, I’ll drop out all the parts I’m using and get to work installing them in the fairmont. I’m very much looking forward to that day.
BTW, I LOVE the noise it makes.
