89 Shelby Daytona project

[turbokid]

Well today I traveled a round trip of 8 hours with my dad to do some dealing with paul for his T-Top car.
Started out to the yard at 5 am and got there by 6 with the car all loaded and ready for the trip

Paul hit some storms so I already unloaded the white car ready for transport. The car currently doesnt run so we had to push it off


And Paul arrives

Me checking out all the sweet detail work

I took the car for a spin while Paul was getting ready to load the other car

One last look at the white car before I said goodbye

All loaded, strapped down and ready to go.

One of the many quicktrips we stopped by on our way home.

Car is now Home sweet home

For now its sitting behind the Masi in the drive till I get some garage space for it.

Paul is a great stand up guy. I enjoyed doing business with and am very happy. The work he did to the car shows and the car runs out awesome. I slapped a dtag on it earlier and put some gas in it and went to get some pizza. The car drives great.
Thanks Paul!

Hey man it was great to meet you and your Father...I'm really glad to see the Daytona going to such a good home, I know that you'll take care of it

Here's a pic of how my trip started out (4:00 am). There were a whole lotta accidents...cars and semi trailers littered the ditches!

Wow Paul. Already time for a new project. Looks like a nice find! Its kinda funny how cars are going back and forth from the Kansas City area.

[turbokid]

Took the time to shine car up today. Popped the tops out too since its around 50 degrees lmao.
Love driving the car.

Yes they are.
However the white car was in the middle of Missouri. I tend to attract td's from Missouri. So its kinda going back home in a way

[WickedShelby88]

Shoot its warmer in your area too and no snow on the ground. Better home for T-top's.

Sweet looking Daytona.
I'm still trying to find an '89 but have not found the right one yet.
I want a 2.5T/automatic one. All I find are 5 speeds.
Enjoy it and take care of it!

[turbokid]

I know of a local red ttop car.
2.5t with an auto. Blown auto. Rust on the floors. Great starting point.
$500 bucks

Not looking for one with rust.
But keep me in mind for any others that come along.

Will do

I for some reason can't see the latest pics of my car Please treat her well. I miss it soo much

[turbokid]

Shes in good hands sir!
I drove her around again today. Man the car just runs great. My little brother who is about 8 years old loves taking cruises around the block in the car so we went and ran some errands. Gotta love having a d-tag. Hopefully over the christmas holiday I will get it licensed.
I am getting a quote on wednesday to touch up the faded parts in the paint and reclear the car.
Then I think the clunking noise is definitely a cv axle on the right side. It will be going on the lift for some lookin over sometime this week as well.
Definitely going to be a fun show car cruiser

[turbokid]

Well its snowing and I still havent cleaned out the garage!
Oh well...

[turbokid]

5-7'' of snow.

[JohnnyIroc]

your not going to drive it in that are you?

[turbokid]

Hell no lol.
I am just merely waiting for my cousin to get her stove, dishwasher, and microwave out of the garage so I can sneak the car in before my ma decides to take the spot.
I have the expedition for the bad weather driving.

[JohnnyIroc]

Okay good

[turbokid]

Well Tuesday if the snow stops and I can clear the car off I will be taking the car to Highway Patrol for inspection and the DMV to get it titled and licensed.

[WickedShelby88]

Definitely get it in a garage or cover it. The key to preserving the trim and weather strip of those t-top cars is keeping it out of the element however possible. That stuff sure is brittle after so many years.

[turbokid]

Yup I gotta clean out the garage ASAP its just I am waiting on my cousin to get her stuff out lol and you know how that works out.
The car is legal and I am getting a paint estimate soon to clean up the fade for now.
Later on I will have it fully resprayed but for now cleaning up the fade on the car would make it look much better.
