I've always preferred the quirky so this was definitely my cup of tea. I've also always preferred 4 door cars, even back in the day I had onions & Belmonts even 4 door skylines! With all the bits in the boot chassis work should be straightforward it's the engine that makes my bum squeak a bit. We'll see though, I'm just going to do a bit at a time & see how I go.

That's great info thanks. I'm thinking I might need some engine/smog stuff to cure the fueling issue I have.

Is Rockauto the best source for parts or is there a European supplier ? What's the average delivery cost & travel time please? I think I'll be buying loads for the soon.

These were mine in 2018. I bought it for spares for my hks tuned gloria. As stated these look much better in 1 colour.

I'm not sure if a Granada manifold will fit. Even though it's a Essex V6 it's a Essex, Canada engine, not a Essex, UK which is a different kettle of fish altogether. The engines are pretty curse word, but very cheap. Think they got up around the 200hp mark in later Mustangs which would be enough to perk it up without needing to upgrade everything else. I know absolutely nothing about American engines so I'm hoping this won't bite me.

I'm glad someone has jumped on this, I did keep looking at it myself but the space I have to work with said no. I look forward to seeing it resurrected! It turned out to be 6 mins from my house so it had to be done! As for space it's exactly 5 metres long & 1.85 metres wide. Luckily I have a big garage.😁

Similarly to Rich I had the wants for this, but no room. So I'm 50% glad I can't buy it and 50% disappointed I can't buy it... Super glad it's ended up here though. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it (lows and wheels yeah?) It would be rude not too.👍

112bhp wow, as with all American engines I reckon I'll gain 25% by ripping out the smog control & possibly swap a granada v6 manifold & a 350cfm carb.

They're actually hub caps so I'm thinking of banding the og wheels & refitting the hubcaps. The fairmont superseded the ltd apparently. I'd love pics of the car near you. That would be great.

I wasn't going to do this yet but I'm bursting so it has to be done. This has been on marketplace for months & I've had a secret yearning for a yank car for ages. I promised myself one before I turned 50 & that happened last year! It was imported by a guy on an army base in the UK but never used on UK roads. All the import paperwork is done & the car is v5 registed with a genuine 37000 miles on the clock. The car has always either been in a lock up or under a cover. I have very little info on the model except it's basically a foxbody mustang chassis & running gear. It has a 3.8 litre v6 engine, plastered in smog control junk. It has fuel injection & looks really over complicated. Factory air con too. Unfortunately it has a fuelling issue to do with the injection system where the car did run but spluttered & farted, now it turns over but won't start. The interior is really clean with no damage except some faded plastic trim in the footwells. Column change & bench seat is amazing. The boot is full of all the spares needed to recommission the car including shocks, brake lines, brake shoes, wheel cylinders, new badges & even new headlights. Currently on 15" peugeot wheels but the original 14's are with the car so may get either set banded. There is no rust on the car except surface on the underside & a ding in the passenger rear door. The lower trims have been removed & the holes plugged so I plan on colour matching the lower part of the car. I plan on using scotch bride & linseed oil the paint & leave it exactly as it is. If anyway has anymore info for parts suppliers, Facebook groups or local Bristol car clubs I'd really appreciate any help. As said above I'm totally new to American motors.

That's got to be a recent restoration, there's no way one of those has survived looking that clean. Looks superb. Ye I did notice faint over spray on the front windscreen rubbers. However the chassis looked immaculate & unwelded.

My clarke weld 135te turbo is for sale. This is a few years old but practically brand new & very rarely used. A very capable, easy to carry & store. Has a spare gas cannister, a new regulator, a selection of tips & a recent core of wire, I think 0.8mm but I can check. Works perfectly, you can test it on purchase if required. Also have a brand new auto darkening welding mask you can have on purchase. Collection from Bristol only. £180 ono.
