95riosnake Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I love how Jasper is always involved lol. It would be cool if my dog did the same, but I think progress may be harder to make with a 93 lb sniff machine in the way lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Lol I usually leave the garage door open so they can wander out at their leisure. Although if I'm sitting on the ground the one likes to creep up on my lap, then proceed to lick my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 When you list it for sale, include a photo of it doing a MASSIVE rolling burnout, then in the description make sure to put something along the lines of "babied...never beat on" etc, lol. I love when people put that in ads for mustangs, because I'd bet money that maybe 1 in 1000 mustangs has truly been babied lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 got the carpet abotu 70% installed. wanted to take more pics of the progess but you know how it is, you get into it and don't think to stop and snap a picture. the pass side is all back together. just have to make a couple cuts on the driver's side for the seatbelt mounts and around the speaker area under the rear seat to make it lay flat. otherwise it's ready for the center console and other other panels. threw a seat in there just to get an idea of what it will look like also measured and planned out what we need to make to adapt the stock seat brackets to the new racing seats. getting some 2" flat stock and cutting it up and drilling a few holes should do it up. should be pretty straightforward. after mowing the lawn tonight i plan to finish up the carpet.

Prokiller Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 kinda took a break from this for a while. we did get the carpet finished up. only thing left is to put the center console back in but had to glue the magnet back in place. i found a rear seat for the car but it was charcoal and from a v6. so the color doesn't match the new black carpet and seats. my dad got some fabric paint and threw a coat on the base to see how it looks this is the paint we're using also dropped the front bumper off for paint. should be done any day now.

You either scored this for 500 bucks or you have a sucker lined up cause it seems as though you are going to have not only some money tied up in this but a few hours to boot. Not sure on pricing for a used vert by you but over here people are giving them away.

Just dont want to see you go to off the deep end on a sale...... unlesss......youve fel in love loli hear ya Rich. i don't want to advertise how much i have in it so far but remember i get discount on parts through work. the goal is to sell in the 5k range. I think i can get it once it's cleaned up. i've been seeing beat to hell verts getting 3k around here. as far as keeping it, i wish it was a different color scheme otherwise i would. the underside is perfect. yes i know i could replace the top and paint the car and switch out the interior.....but realistically i could buy what i really want for the amount it would cost me to do all that. @tony it's from AM. fit wasn't too bad. biggest thing was just taking a little at a time away from the center console to get it fit the rest of the way. that was really the only cutting i did. other than around dead pedal a bit. I do really want to get another sn vert but i wouldn't go as far as i have on my black one. i'd keep it relatively mild. I want to try my hand with a 4.6. PI swap it and bolt-ons for power and then just some good suspension. probably not a whole lot exterior wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 got the seat back done. replaced all the spark plugs with new autolites. threw on the wires, cap and coil that i used to have on the 94. These were perfectly working stuff that i replaced because of color and fitment. I wanted all the red gone from the engine bay in the 94 the car did a a slight miss to it that i attributed to stock ignition parts and the fact that the cats are clogged up. well i think this was the culprit. the coil was severely corroded. engine is now done. just waiting for the seat to cure before putting that in. I did take the driver's door panel off too and pulled the window motor to replace the bushings as it was starting to click. got the bushings, just have to reassemble the motor and then i'll pull the lower hinge off and replace that. Might do that tonight if i feel ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 got some stuff done this weekend on this car. Got the window motor put back in. Still have to replace the hinge so i didn't put the panel back on. My dad broke out his 40 year old home ec skills and sowed the rips in the seats. the fabric itself wasn't damaged, just the stitching broke. So we pulled off the hog rings, pulled it back off the foam and restitched it. Got new hog rings and the pliers and boom we're back in business.\ can't even tell it was fixed and the seats installed in the car. next up is to pull the driver's door off and replace the hinge. this weekend i think were going to tackle making the seat bracket adapters to mount in the racing seats. that will finish up the interior then. the front bumper is painted and will be dropped off tonight. So really it will be just finishing up buffing the sides and throw the new bumpers on. It will be ready for inspection and then i'll throw a catback and mid-pipe on it and call it done for now. probably still going to throw some lowering springs on it but i would like to actually drive the car for a little bit too so we'll see.

Prokiller Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 got the bumper monday night. threw it on just to see color match. it was too hard to tell in the garage with it not mounted to the car. looks pretty darn close though. can't wait to get this done. @Shifty is coming over tonight to help me with the door hinge replacement and with any luck, we'll get the front end reassembled too.

[emoji106].Side note: no jasper, kindof upset about it [emoji19]Sent from Space haha that wasn't intentional. I had to pull the cover up to take off the battery tender and put it on the vert. i guess i left the door ajar just enough to drain the battery down. didn't feel like pull the cover back down just to pull it back up again to put the charger back. and i know, he was too busy out pee on a bush or something outside. he doesn't much like hanging out in the garage. i think too many loud noises tend to spook him. As for last night. we got the door hinge replaced and the door pretty good as far as lining up with the fender. I think i'll have my body guy fine tune it. we tried for a good half hour and just couldn't get it match up top. not sure if at this point it's a fender adjustment or just a more practiced hand at adjusting the door. BUT look at this smooth actionhttp://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r282/toolstang/Mustang%20flips/th_9DE7DD02-CF94-434B-BA30-B1E88070C354_zpspp0ipnl3.mp4 Was going to throw the front end back together but realized i need to pop rivet on the bumper brackets and i don't have a rivet gun. my dad is going to bring his down hopefully this weekend and then i can throw that together. We did however swap out the rear bumper. pics suck because there isn't much lighting back there and it was pouring and dark outside so opening the door wouldn't have helped much. will get some better pics hopefully either tonight or this weekend.

My driver's door makes a click sound right before it opens all the way, drives me insane.i thought it would be easier and yet i also thought it would be harder. The part i thought would be hard ended up being easy which was getting to the bolts. The part i didn't think would be so difficult ended up being the problem which was getting the door lined back up. There really isn't that much adjust-ability with the hinges but yet it took a while of tinkering to get it lined up. and even then it's still not 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 this is the gap up top. it's kinda hard to get a picture that really shows itthe fender to door gap is uniform the whole way down, it's just the door sits in farther than the fender at the top ridge line. if that makes sense. @Blackmage, yeah i'm not that bold or talented to go bending a door.

Shifty Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yea the door almost sits like \ <--- that in a way. The top part almost sits in a bit into the fender. But is hard to see unless you are on top of it or feeling it. Gaps are all normal, door closes well as per the video. Just needs a bit more fine tuning. But it is one of those little things to make the sale of the car that much easier. Yea Jasper was outside trying to step on some frogs or something. You can see he debates trying to eat them as his first experience picking one up in his mouth, did not end too wonderfully for him. Funny for us though.

Prokiller Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 have been at a standstill on this build dealing with other things and just plain ole laziness. been waiting on putting the front bumper on because i didn't have a rivet gun to put the bracket on it. Finally got that done last week but haven't had the ambition to put the front together yet. My dad had gotten metal do make the bracket adapters for the seats a couple weeks ago as well but haven't played with that yet either. guess he had some time yesterday to come down while i was at work and got one of the seats mocked up and laid in the car. so at least something is happening. I have to travel again tomorrow and coming back friday afternoon so i think i'm going to put the front bumper on when i get back. in the meantime though, here's the driver's seat put in place. and a crappy shot of the bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 got stuff done on friday and saturday. made some really good progress on the reassembly. started with messing with the driver's door some more:that's i think about as good as it's going to get. next up was putting the front bumper onthen the lights and finally the pony to finish it off i was doing all that while my dad was pulling the seat back out so we could use the driver's side brackets as the template for the pass side seat. and to paint them before reinstalling. while he was messing around with the paint, i put the door panel back together. last but not pictured, i put my old black taillights in and put the trunk all back together. only needs the spoiler to go back on before saying that end is done. going to hold off on that until we fully polish and wax the trunk lid. still need to properly adjust the new headlights and install the pass side seat and then it's off to get inspected. hopefully that will be either this weekend or next. then maybe, just MAYBE i'll get to actually drive the car a little bit. which would be kinda nice even though its cold as balls outside now.
