    i had a 1972 MGB. i didn't have the time and funds to properly restore it, so i had to let it go.

    i have a '67 Mustang convertible with a small block V8 engine. restoration is now in the last stage. I bought it in November 2004 and hopefully the restoration will be fully completed in February 2006.

    I sort of modernized the suspension, steering, brakes, and enhanced engine performance. It has an Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, edelbrock 650cfm carburetor, solid lifter, roller rocker arms, and hotter cams (c/o Turbo a.k.a. Deo).

    Exterior and interior is bone stock except for the Torque Thurst wheels (still looks period-correct though).

    reviews says its a good car too. worst gripe about it is you have to step out of the car to put the top down and there isnt much trunk space.

    The frame-off restoration is done (or should I say still being done) by Mang Radie of Sta. Maria Bulacan. He specializes only in classic mustangs (1964 to 1973). Most of the parts were sourced from the U.S. The cams, roller rockers, and solid lifters were sourced from TURBO a.k.a. Deo Concepcion.

    As for the pics, i intend to post some after the restoration is done/completed. Hopefully (fingers crossed) by the end of this month.
