How ya doin?

I just bought my first garage with a house last year. The garage is 720 sq. ft. with no windows. Built that way for security. It had bare walls, floor and no ceiling. A week after we were in the house (not completely moved in and a 22' box truck half full of stuff) I started on the garage. Now I am a Ford guy and it looks like most of you put some big money into your garages. I just wanted a brite, clean and safe place to work on my Pintos. Yes Pintos. I do have an 86 Mustang SVO. I bought that because it was a hell of a deal and a rare Mustang. I usually dont like Mustangs, too damn many of them.

The site looks cool and I should be able to get some nice ideas. I do like looking at some of your set ups.

Thats the 78 Turbo Pinto. Its still in the fab stage. It will be a couple months before its on the road. The engine shot shows a Volvo inter cooler behind the grille and a Holset turbo off of a Dodge Cummins. You can see I started insulating the fiberglas garage door.

I forgot the Mustang. Its needs some work. The a/c blows cold and It was a real fun car until I broke the tranny. No first gear. Im going to restore it when I get the time. I didnt really want another project.

I like your SVO. That's my '84 anniversary GT in the classifieds section.

Nice concertable.
Ive always liked the four eyed stangs. My SVO has the wrong headlights for the year. They went to flush headlights on 85.5 my SVOs. Ill replace mine when I restore the car. The thought has crossed my mind to sell it for more Pinto parts. I got too good of a deal on it to do that. Plus its a blast to drive. When it had first gear I surprised a Lightning owner from a stop light. He couldnt believe it was a four cylinder. Hee hee
