Thought you guys might want to tag along....... So I'm redoing the body work and paint on my 85 coupe, also a few other items have been replaced as well as coming parts yet bought. Here is what has been done so far..... This is when bought for $1350 back in 2009. ![]() First paint job done in 2010, mostly practice for spraying my 88 vert-3rd car I have painted myself. ![]() Replaced very rusty pass fender with $75 (shipped) cheap China E-Bay part......cause I'm cheap.....LOL ![]() Rear bumper cover, old one trashed from exhaust, $100 shipped E-Bay. ![]() Replaced.....fronts struts, rear shocks, outer tie-rod ends, added GT rear sway bar. ![]() ![]() ALL new brakes, everything, bearings too. ![]() ![]() New dash pad cover, my steering wheel from when I was 18-3rd car I've had it on now. $17.49 close-out special Duel radio-cassette-iPod plug. Added 50th B-Day pin on dash, cut off pin and attached with double sided tape in case I want to remove. Might try and fix those cracks on the dash hull. ![]() ![]() I've also installed all new exhaust from the Ranger tube header back w/Dyno-Max muffler. Might replace the carpet but the rest of the interior is in 9/10 shape. More updates later and the repaint will take place next Spring- same color as the first time Eastwood Royal Blue. Maybe a 5.0 or Turbo-4 swap.....tee hee...... Edited by webestang64, Oct 28 2015, 07:26 PM.

Thanks. Yet again, keep it running verses body work. Carb blew a gasket so while I was down I deceided to change the timing belt. Still had the 130xxx 1985 belt in there. Might clean some rust out as well.
