Another Mustang?! Well, yes, but this one’s a little different. Actually, it’s a lot different, because there’s no bent-8 to be seen in the propulsion department. Project Ugly Horse is a build I’ve stumbled across more than once, and found myself re-visiting it enough times that I realised I should probably put it up on the site. The project started off on AutoBlog and then continues over at Road & Track, but don’t worry, all the necessary links are at the bottom of the post. Not only is this an interesting project on a wrenching level, but I found the most enjoyable part to be the exceptional writing, it’s very entertaining.

This is a fun idea and all, but is absolutely retarded. Want a light, 6spd I4, IRS-equiped track car with excellent handling and huge aftermarket? Miata.
Uglyhorse actually started here:

Same place I have my crappy little SAAB story. 🙂
N, how can you call this retarded? Do you realize that the fox body is a great car? Why be the same as everyone else and build another Miata with a 1.8? Why troll only to bring bad vibes to a website built for creativity?
What transmission? I have thought about doing this to a 56 F100.
wonder if maximum would make another k-member lol
