"My 73 came from a friend of mine who had the car for a number of years. It was completely dismantled about 10 years ago. After moving house a number of times and realising the cost of a full restoration and the time involved, he decided he would not be in a position to do it for many more years to come. He needed the single garage space in his new home, fully taken up by the car, panels,engine, trans, etc and boxes of all the other bits. Reluctantly he offered the car to me for next to nothing on the proviso I would not part it out being a Mach1, matching numbers car, Q code, 4V, etc and well optioned.\n \n\n\n\tI decided on a full ground up resto. Sand blasted (except for flat panels), all rusted sections repaired or replaced. 99.9% of every nut, bolt, screw and rivet removed and replaced. I haven't worked on a Mustang before and with nothing bagged or tagged, and a complete re-wiring, assembly was like a giant jigsaw. The 7173 site has been a huge help.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tNegatives - Cost is always more than first thought; Hundreds of hours of time. BUT\n \n\n\n\tPositives – Looks great, sounds great, real fun to drive and a head-turner when I'm out enjoying it.\n \n\n\n\tWould I do it again? BLOODY OATH MATE!\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tDavid\n \n"
