Well sounds like someone saved you a lot of trouble. Finish the cage and nicely put her back together.:bigthumbsup
just picked up my new 1987 Mustang coupe roller project...
OK, well I just got back this AM from picking up my other new coupe
in NJ. It was a good trip. I won't make this as long as my other post.
This car has a pretty nice body on it. Needs a little work here and there.
I have full interior, but have to put it back together. It came with some
good surprises too I'll quickly mention. Has a roll cage I didn't know it was going to have. (its just the main hoop and two back points. 4 point but im glad thats in there. I think I can make it a 6 point at some time.)
also, the guy I bought it from was really nice and cool. He *gave* me a nice carb on top of a holley street dominator intake! also gave me like two head cover things I'm not sure what they are. I know you all will know and I forgot to ask about them, he was giving me all these parts at once. 2 non MAF wiring harnesses, some extra interior parts and I think thats all.
The biggie is I need a engine and trans for this car and I'll do some minor body work. Right now, it has a few interesting chameleon painted panels, the rest is black. I'll eventually repaint it. Oh it has original tweed seats inside back. I can't get a pic of that yet because i have the dash, extra carpet, and other interior parts piled all over the seats inside.
I took some pics of the car today. I will say my camera is not that good, but some came out OK. I'll let the pics tell the rest:

thanks for the comment spdjnky. I'm going to try to make it top notch for sure.
I did do one really dumb thing while I was unloading it and I think I might have bent/ruined the front southside LCA? I think thats what I might have made lose on accident and maybe bent sideways.
What happened was the emergancy chain was attached to the bar between front LCAs and I was winching it off with the chain attached on accident for about 3 good pulls on the winch before i realized i had to unhook that chain because it was pulling the u bar thing crooked and the LCA. oops!
well, maybe its not messed up too bad, or maybe it is. I'll get a pic of this tomorrow when its light and post it to see what you all think. its not too crooked, but feels loose on the control arm front driver side. you'd really have to see a pic maybe to understand what I did... thanks
