Hello everyone, I thought I would post some pictures, and progress on my 87 Formula I am currently redoing.

All in all the car wasnt that bad to begin with, but still needed some work. It was my brothers car, who recently passed away, so I decided to take it and make it into something that he would of loved.

I currently have the car stripped of all parts, including Drivetrain. I am putting in a 383 stroker, with a turbo 400, Going to do a custom interior, and repaint the body, new rims/tires etc.

Here are some pictures to get this started, and I hope im posting in the right forum?

Her are a couple of pictures of what the car was:

 

more:

 

motor, trans, etc out of car

 

pictures of new Heart, going to take rockers out, and put full roller rockers. Getting TCI turbo 400 trans from summit racing in a couple of weeks, so pictures of that soon.

 

Front K-Member dropped, taken apart, sending member and spindles out to blaster to get cleaned and powder coated. Getting New A-Arms, new front sway bar, springs, struts, ball joints, etc.

 

Looks like you got a good car to start with. Good luck with it and have fun doing it. I spent about a year with mine and enjoyed every minute. Especially when I put tags on it and drove it down the road the first time. Great info on here for these cars. Keep us posted.

 

While front member is out and other parts ordered, I started to dismantle engine bay, and get it ready for new paint.

 

Yes white gold, It is a Awesome candidate for a redoing. The car has no rust what so ever. The underneath is like new, as is all the floor boards etc.

 

Well, fun begins with painting..Doing all this in my little garage, but all in all it came out awesome.

 

Well the primer went down, up next the Black and clear.

 

well, thats the start of my 87 project. I would like to hear some input and thoughts/suggestions/concerns...

I will keep posting as I go along.

 

Nice work! Very inspiring.

 

Looks GREAT!!!! Hope mine turns out as well. What did use for your engine compartment paint? It looks like you went down to bare metal-did you use an etching primer first?
Can't wait to see the rest of the body!
