well, I guess I'll post this up now, I have had it since 7-15-06. Not near as much work done on it as I'd like, but I'm getting there.

basic info:
79 ford fairmont with 85,750 miles (original) purchased for $200 (yes that's two HUNDRED) and drove it up onto the trailer!

Got it home, unhooked it, drove it off the trailer and down the street, had my 12 year old drive it back home (tense moment turning into the driveway, culvert on either side and a fairly large buckeye tree right there too!

)

according to the South Carolina Title it weighs 2800lbs...
If I can keep it close to that with the setup I'm wanting in there I'll be quite pleased.

Removed the front bench seat and found a TI-84 graphing calculator...practically new, put on ebay, sold for $50 in approx. 1.5 hours (total purchase price now at $150), sold transmission for $75, now down to $75 plus approx $150 in diesel fuel to get car and come back=$225 total

Parts being used from my 92 coupe project:

built AOD
B50 based low (turbo friendly) compression 331
rear disk brake setup from 96GT w/31 spl mosers, new t-loc, new 3.27
ALL wiring harnesses (front to back) from 90GT
dash out of 90GT
heater box, a/c stuff from 90GT
steering column out of 90GT
brake booster (can't remember what year)
K-member 90GT
5 way Tokicko Illumina's

center console from 90 GT
stock shifter from AOD
Maximum Motorsports CC plates
Upr Coilover kit 12/250 springs
Sumped tank with twin inline GSS392 pumps (255lph)
Aeromotive inline filters (10 micron and 100 micron)
-08 pushlok feed, -06 pushlok return
Holley Systemax upper/lower
MSD coil
PonyDown stage 3 Turbo kit with Master Power T70 turbo .96A/R

Parts I have added

Clear turn signal lamps from 78 Fairmont (the only year they came on) instead of amber
gas hood shocks

Parts I have removed

bumper supports (bumpers are ALUMINUM)
all the factory "sound deadener"

And now for some pictures

bullitts will not be on it, trading my 18"saleens for Mach 1 rims/tires and some $$$$

just to keep the old school look
