Cool IROC rebuild series on YouTube

Hey guys I don't own my IROC anymore and I'm no longer active on here but I came across this:

https://youtu.be/MwkTab-4_RU

That's part 1 and part 2 just got uploaded today on that channel. I hope you guys enjoy.

I'm looking to buy a mostly original IROC again soon maybe even a roller to build my own from scratch. Hope to be active again someday.

Peace.

Re: Cool IROC rebuild series on YouTube

All that suspension and NO Subframe Connectors? What are they thinking?

Hemmings has been teasing this series for months in their mags. Should be interesting.

Hahaha never heard someone refer to the hood louvers as 'xylophones' before.

I wish they kept some form of the TPI system intake, like a Stealth Ram or something, but let's see how this build goes.

That place is a few hours from me if that so its cool to see a VT shop doing the work...hopefully it turns out good. Its also nice to see a 3rd gen getting showcased by Hemmings on a build.

Re: Cool IROC rebuild series on YouTube

People that grew up in the 80s are now 40-50 and have the money to buy or build nice nostalgic cars. I just hope the 80s mustangs don't see a resurgence. No matter how old those things get or how long since I've last seen one they still look ugly.
