07shelbygt109 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 This was my first car, my father bought it for me in 1989. I drove it until I blew a head gasket in 92 and I put it in the barn. A friend of mine who was taking mechanic classes asked if he could do a complete engine rebuild for his class project. I agreed and decided to do a little body work while he had the engine. Needless to say, nothing got done. He dropped out of school, I got a girlfriend and a new car, and the Mustang got pushed to the back of the barn. I kept thinking I would drag it out and start working on it but different projects came and went and I never got around to it. I kept telling myself that it was sitting on concrete and wasn't going anywhere. Plus I had no desire to sell it so I kept working on things to make a little money and it just kept sitting there. Now, 15 years later I decide to get it out. I don't know what compelled me, but I hooked chains to it today and pulled it into the shop. She's not as rough as I thought she would be but I think it will take some time to get her back on the road again. I guess better late than never. http://a98.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images...7ec666187f9.jpg http://a601.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/image...b6541218b70.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump_breaker Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 It's amazing what can be found in old barns. Mine doesn't have anything but a bunch of crap. Maybe if I cleaned it out I could find something like that! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I cleaned it out I could find something like that! :D Well, I knew the Mustang was there but I did find quite a few things that I thought had been gone for years. My Dad had quite a collection of old farm implements that I thought he had gotten rid of before he died but they were buried behind the car. It really is amazing what can be hiding right in front of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going through that right now. I've got a 92 BMW that a guy abandoned at my shop 2 years ago. It's crazy what you have to do to claim a title in Tennessee.
