The Big Red Coupe Thread v2.0

**quadcammer32** · 07-29-2010 11:20 PM

Well I'm back after a short stay in MK3 land. I sold the black bomber back in may and picked up a MK3 VRT. The car is scary fast and tons of fun but was never happy with it. So once again i'm back in a MK2.

First a picture of the first Big Red coupe #1 the 20v swap that I built a couple years ago.

and one of the black bomber

and one of the MK3 for fun

Now on the the new coupe.
its a really clean all original paint car. has a mildly worked OBD1 VR. Nothing really special. over all the car is clean but it needs some TLC. the paint is oxidized, the recaros are dirty and the bolsters are flat. Taillight is cracked, the single round grille is falling off and so on. The plans for the car are to clean up the paint/ trim replace all of the things that needs to be fixed, do a wire tuck/shave to the bay, get some coils and wheels. Ill be swapping the single rounds out for some smoked aeros. Pretty standard protocol for my cars lol

**quadcammer32** · 07-29-2010 11:21 PM

changed out the old busted taillights for some one from my mk2 stash. I also cleaned out the 20 years of dirt in the jamb and polished it up a bit.

much better

smoked hellas

Is that a mustang??? Also i loved that black gli you had maybe someday mine can be that nice!!

**Stan Marsh** · 07-31-2010 11:44 AM

It looks like a Eleanor front bumper. I love 65-71 Mustangs. If I could afford a project like that, I wouldn't been trying to get into a MK2 project.
