Hi to you al at the forum.Thanks to cmayna who invited me to this forum.
First let me introduce myself , i am a foreigner from Belgium ( BRUSSELS ) , i am 49 years young , married with a lovely girl for more then 20 years.We have 2 kids ,no dog or cat but we have a couple of mustangs.
I bought my first mustang in 1994 which was a 67 convertible , 6 banger with an automatic and that was it.
I have been collecting parts for more then 15 years to make this car my pride and joy.A 67 mustang convertible with a 289-4V , automatic , 5 lug styled steel wheels with 235/60/15 Good Year Eagle GT II , power disk brake and power top with stayfast fabric top.
I also collected a lot of bodyparts.All i have to do now, is put things together.
But ...............i have started the restoration of my fastback which was a regular 289 with auto and foldown back seat.
I also converted this mustang to a 351W-4V with a T5Z trans , power drilled disk brakes , L.E.D. rear lights.All this stands on a set of TT II 17 X 8 with 245/45/17 Brdgestone Potenzas.
I know you all say i am crazy but hee ..... i love to work on mustangs.
If one of you all invite me to work on your stang , buy me a ticket and i will be there at your place.I will sleep in the garage beside the dog or cat.Isn't that a proposition.

lethal289 · « **Reply #14 on:** August, 28, 2009, 11:55:24 AM »

looks like that fast back was pretty solid to start with. And i like that color! :pep

B67FSTB · « **Reply #15 on:** August, 28, 2009, 12:05:38 PM »

Yes , the fastback was good except the doors.Everything lined up very nice.Didn't see many stangs overhere in Belgium of which the panels lined up very well.
On the other hand , the convertible , i wished i never had bought it because it was in fact a wreck , but hee , it was 1994 and it was my first mustang and it was a 67 and even a convertible !!!! In those days you did't see a 67 mustang very often.

Is that a plum color with white stripes? That looks great. I'll buy a ticket for THAT to come over and sleep in my garage next to the cat...Oh, wait--I don't have a garage. Never mind.

Very nice car.
