Thanks guys! It is definitely pretty clean for an almost 17 year old Mustang.

I am going to work on the suspension asap so I can do some top end motor work. I would like to eventually put down close to 400 hp with a supercharger possibly. This all sounds like the plan when/if I get the money needed. lol About 99% street car 1% strip (unless I decide to go more often)

Nice car man! Do you mind if I asked what you paid for it/mileage and what motor mods does it have that you're aware of? Sounds cammed to me...

Yeah no problem. I actually did a trade (hell of a trade if I might add) for my 92 GT that was for sure ragged on and almost no mods besides full exhaust work (paid $3000 for it and put $800 into it) for this 93 LX STRAIGHT UP! It cost me $45 total to transfer title and register it lol If you ask me I got the better deal for sure. The GT was beat up that I had.

I have a whole bunch of receipts for everything that was done. It says 45k on the odometer, but it may be rolled (but looking at the condition, no rust and original paint, it may have just sat in some grandmas garage lol). The motor is from a 92 GT and had supposedly about 75k on it. They put in a mild cam of some sort, original block and most internals that I am aware of. Has BRAND NEW chrome shorty BBK headers and flow masters. All new sensors besides MAF. To be honest it is just a really clean LX that I am dying to keep up and do just some top end work. Oh I think it also has sub frame connectors, new sway links, brand new tires......

She is really a beauty man I stole her basically.

Good work man! Enjoy it. BTW, I'm sure it would walk your 4.0 pretty bad. Get some 3.55's or 3.73's next:-)
