I am starting to disassemble Shelby Lancer 92 for a complete restoration. My goal is not to go back to 100% stock, but to make the car as stock appearing as possible while taking advantage of some of the more common and effective upgrades. I've been doing a fair amount of research for OEM parts as I think that will be my largest hurdle. I'll post any links, business or previously unknown resources as I find them for the rest of the community to utilize. Below is the scope of the restoration, I will continue to post pictures as I progress!

- I have replacement sheet metal for the rusted areas of the car. Passenger side rear wheel well and entire rocker panel, e brake opening in the floor, sections of the rear floor on passenger side
- Sans the HID lights and likely window tint, the exterior will look 100% stock.


Currently, I am finishing up stripping down the body with only the rear axle, fuel tank, fuel and brake lines, exhaust heat shields and long block to remove. Once I have the car stripped, it will be heading to car craft collision here in Findlay to be media blasted with plastic beads for the paint and glass for the rust. They will handle applying sealer primer as well. I am hopeful sometime this month or next I will be able to get the car over for blasting.
