New guy from Michigan

Hi guys. My name is Pat. I live in Michigan & currently own an 86 5.0 5spd Merc Capri & a 91 5.0 5spd Mustang. The Mustang will be donating its guts to a 4door boxtop in the very near future. Im in the process of aquiring the fairmont now & im sure i'll have plenty of questions for you guys in the future as i plan on using as much from the Mustang as i can. I've had alot of people laugh at me cuz i want to put it in a 4 door but i think it'll be an awesome sleeper & besides everybody has Mustangs, Fairmonts aren't very common around here anymore. I've also heard that the Fairmonts are lighter which should make for a fast car since the Mustang that the drivetrain currently is in runs mid 13's. Anyway wanted to say hello & introduce myself. I look forward to talking with you guys & any advice i get will be greatly appreciated. Have a nice day.

Hey, welcome home. Sounds like you have a great plan and hope to see some pic's on the project when you get started.
You know I had and still do have the same comments about mine....I just say why not ? Should I build another '57 Chevy or another Chevell....like all the millions that already did....ahhh boring !!!

Awesome! I love Capris. If I didn't have a Fairmont, I'd have a Capri. We'll be here for answers when you need us.

I kinda disagree with you guys. Why can't a guy have both , a mustang and a Zephyr ? Instead of part out a Mustang I put a 347 in it, and used the 302 in my Zephyr wagon. It's taking a longer period of time to have both, but they do different things for me. I live in the North West corner of Wasington state. Lots of mountain roads. So the LX is a back road beast, and lots of fun. The wagon will be my hot rod while I paint the LX. But wouldn't it be KOOL to tow the LX to a track day behind the lowered v/8 powered 78' Zeph ???? Ahhh they are all Fow bodies lets enjoy em' and all get along....lol Later, Patwagon

Neither of us said you couldnt have both.....I own an '83 Fairmont(351w) and an '05 Mustang (v6). I said your plan is a good one !!
