89mustang Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just thought I would show a few pics of some of my current cars! Not enough frequent progress to put it in the blogs bit. Blue Mustang pictured in the pits at Oulton on an Open pitlane day. Very interesting as I only had good brakes for 4 laps! Entering the pitlane at 20mph we passed most of the garages even with the brakes full on, very smoky. Car was written off 4 years ago when it "fell off" a motorway slip road. It will now donate its vital organs to the black/orange/primered model in the pics, eventually. Dutton is Rover v8 but still lots to do. Te Mustang was never supposed to be a project!!! There is also a Triumph Dolomite 1300tc and a 1964 Cortina MK1 http://s336.photobucket.com/albums/n321/89gtgt/mustang/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Blimey you like your projects don't you....... I love the Mustang camber/ castor kit, was this custom made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89mustang Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Blimey you like your projects don't you....... I love the Mustang camber/ castor kit, was this custom made? No, made by Maximum Motorsport USA. As standard the Mustang is camber adjustable with a similar set up, but this gives caster as well. The guy who had the car must have gone through the catalogue, as there was over £2500 of bits in boxes or already fitted. Bilstein dampers and lowered springs, 4 wheel disc brake kit (everything down to brake pipes and flexys and all clips to fit.), 17" Cobra alloys (genuine Ford) and loads more.

Rich Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 So which bolts adjust the castor, the bigger ones around the edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89mustang Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 So which bolts adjust the castor, the bigger ones around the edge? In the pictuer the front of the car is to the rhs so caster adjusters are the smaller ones at 12 and 6 o'clock, the 3 larger ones allow camber ajustment.
