It's originally a 91GT that has been converted to look like an 86GT. I installed an IRS from a 2003 Cobra along with a front 5lug conversion from a 95 mustang. The brakes are from a 96 and up Cobra as well. I have installed 2003 Cobra leather seats in the front and the back. My car came with an automatic and I swapped in a T-5 to elevate the fun factor. The paint and body work were done by me in my garage. The paint is a factory color form a Nissan 350z called Daytona Blue. For the engine it has a built 306 with forged aluminum pistons and a stock bottom end. I used Ford GT-40y cylinder heads with 1.6 rockers. The supercharger is a Votech V2-SQ real street kit.
It's still a work in progress and I still need to get a final tune to see what kind of power it will make. It has been 3 years to tis point and right now I am real close to where I want to be with the car. Thanks for looking.

I modified the back side of the front lower control arms this winter. This allowed me to remove 1 set of steering rack limiters. I now have the turning radius back that was lost when I went to the 17x8 front wheels. Pictures will be added of the notches in the arms.
This spring will hopefully allow me to get the A/C put back in and I want to add a wide band O2 gauge too. I would be nice to see how the engine responds to a meth injection kit that is planed as well.
Other than that, the house is getting added on to. We're pushing the kitchen back and adding a 3rd bedroom that will be our master suite. The Mustang will have to take a back seat during that time. All $ will go in the addition this year.
