Heartbeat1991 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I bought this one in the spring of 2015. Up until a couple weeks ago, it has sat untouched. It has 69xxx miles on it. The guy I bought it from is a member here. He offered it when my first one caught on fire. It had been parked in a garage for a long time. He had taken the motor apart and left it unfinished. There was a lot of powder coated parts in the trunk. Some NOS parts, too. I've been getting it back together over the past 3 weeks. I will post those updates soon. Below are pics of the car as it was when I brought it home. Imp558 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'93RegalGS3800 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 No factory spoiler? Looks nice though. Get it back together and running again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat1991 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Since so many parts were already blasted and powder coated, I pulled out the engine and trans to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbeat1991 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I also washed it and started the process of rubbing it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat1991 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I cleaned up the block and the trans. I painted the trans with Eastwood Alumablast and I painted the block with Eastwood ceramic engine paint. I used Pontiac Metallic Blue. I had some Crane 1.6 full rollers left over from a previous LG5 build. So I put them to use in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggity76 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Really nice! I like to see a black TGP for once instead of the red ones, sort of refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadfoot Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 That is a nice looking TGP. I like the attention to detail on the engine/trans. After Galen's and now this, I am glad to see you these getting back on the road in such great shape. Heartbeat1991 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongoose Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Nice work! Enjoyed all the pics. Taking notes over here, mine will be in my overhaul bay for similar action as soon as we roll the Mustang out. Heartbeat1991 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Nice work Dan. That car's going to look great! Why was it torn down initially by the P.O? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat1991 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Nice work Dan. That car's going to look great! Why was it torn down initially by the P.O? Yes. He is a member here. I believe he tore it down to replace some gaskets and he did some powder coating work. I bought it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Very nice. You do great work on these TGP's. You could be the reason many of these survive for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
