really depends on how clean the mustang is…

if it’s a rot box underneath, then maybe.

even so, motorset is 4K, that intake mani is another 800, car has SD tuning, that’s a grand, wilwood big brakes on 4 corners, turbo, wheels, shit adds up.

I’ll probably have mid 20s in the bimmer when it’s ever done.

I’d be curious to see how it drives. Even though it’s not quite my taste I bet it’s still a fun car.

there was a similar roller FS on moms a few months ago for $800.

The difference between the bimmer and this is mainly that there are 4392 companies that make “resto” parts for the mustang. You can basically buy a rolling shell (in parts or WHOLE) from companies.

Wilwood brakes \<$1k ([Ford Mustang Forums](http://corral.net/forums))  
Turbo \<$1k depending on what you want obv  
Wheels \<$1k corral / ebay  
SD tuning \<$1k  
Driveset & mani $4.8k

$7.8k

OBV you can spend a whole lot more then that. but, why? it’s not a show car. its not a “numbers matching” car. you’re not going to do anything other then drive it and “piss people off” with it.

Just saying.

what shape?

I don’t see any pics of the roller.

the car that was FS needed floorpans and body panels. if it’s slow enough later I will post exact part numbers and prices for a full body later.

Sorry.

For sho.

I agree. It all depends on what you want the end product to be like. Up until I bought my 633csi way back when, I had nothing but F bods. The camaros i had were cheap as hell to play with, but once I hit bimmer land the game all changed. All of the sudden I was paying 650 for a fender and 200 bucks for cheap struts.

Back in 01 I saw a 71 mustang fastback with a 4spd on transit near lockport. Looked all original it had some collision damage on the front and rear fenders, nothing more. One of the front fenders was off so you could see most of the front subframe on the drivers side. It was spotless save for some minor surface rust. the floor pans were just as good. To make a long story short the thing was solid as fuck. It was up for sale for 1800 bucks. By the time I went home to get some cash and get back there it was sold. ITs all a matter of luck and where you look.

IDK man. It really all depends on the ability of a person and level of access to specialty tooling.
