New Project Mach

Been away for quite some time but still have my ‘03 TR 5spd. A while back my Sister In Law’s boyfriend picked up a nice 70k mile ‘04 TR auto. The car was for his 16 year old son who after a few short months unfortunately wrecked the car. It went to autction through Copart and I snagged it up. I have been wanting to get back into drag racing and that will be this cars purpose.

Hope to get enough body panels back on it to take to the track before season ends and get a baseline. Only mod to the car is weld in mufflers. Over the winter I will strip some weight, add some 4.56’s, off-road mid pipe with turn downs and maybe some suspension. I love the factory wheels so I’m trying to find a place to narrow my factory front wheels so I can run skinny’s on the OE wheels. Also have a exterior design in mind that will look like the late 60’s Ford Drag Team, more on that once I find a decal shop to print my ideas.

My main goal for the car is a reliable and consistent bracket car that I can compete in local races with. I would like to see 7.90’s with very little performance mods, then add a converter and shoot for 7.50’s. Here are a few pics of the car from right after the wreck and now that everything is torn off. The hood is ruined but for now I’ll just throw pins in it and use it.
