1979 Ford Fairmont 80MM Turbo LS Madness!

Hey guys, my name is Rustin, thanks for stopping by to look at my junk! I have been building this Fairmont for just a touch over a year now and gotten to a “finished” state until the race season begins. I thought I would share my journey with you guys in picture form from start to ‘finish’! The car went though various iterations of “I want to do this, no that, no this!” I settled on race car that is street driven in the end. Everything on this car I did myself, front to back, start to finish. It has been a long and educational journey.

1979 Ford Fairmont 4 Door AKA The Barbie Fun Car
