Out of hibernation

[July92RS]

After 20+ years daylight shines on the Mustang,with a vehicle inspection carried out last week by an independent company it may finally get an age related plate and be rid of that awful Q plate.It may look sorry but years of dust has preserved it and the rust although looking bad did start to brush off by hand and having just secured US spec 2.8 motor this has now moved up the restoration list

What engine does it currently have? Seems to be sitting the height that it has an engine in it. Good luck with the restoration.

Too many bits needed for that and as we have a Marti report it seems fitting to bring it back to its silver glory
