Default New 88 GT w/T-Tops!!!

Hey all i just went and bought a Black 1988 mustang GT with T-Tops.... This car is awsomes... And of course its a California car so i don't have to do the MAF conversion.... I bought it for $3600.00, and the only thing it needs is some paint on the front clip, some gauge work (oil press and water temp.), and a bath... It has 113,000 miles on the odometer and the interior is by far the best i could find on any car around here... The T-Tops are excelent and they dont leak... Now the only thing it needs is some MODs!!! I bought the eibach drag launch springs with the air bag and ordered the Hotchkis upper/lower control arms... Ohhh and one other thing it needs is a clutch.... I should be ordering this either this week or next week... I will also be putting it in right when i get it... Everything is working well and seems to have plenty of power...

As for modding the car i am going to start with the suspension/drivetrain then go to the exhaust... After the exhaust i will work on the intake (K&N, C&L 76 MAF with tube, and BBK T/B and spacer) then i will work on the bigger things from there...

I will be posting pictures of it later on tonight... Probably around 8:00pm pacific time when i get everything all presure washed and cleaned up...

For those of you wondering i kept the 67 mustang and will be tearing it apart to do a ground up resto on it....

Well im going to have subframes and a roll cage so it won't be twisting to much... I have seen some verts run some decent numbers, 10's i believe, without much twisting... So i think i should be fine...

Not yet... I am going to take them tonight when i get everything pressure washed and cleaned up... So i will have them posted tonight... I am at school right now so i can't post anything like pics anyways, at the moment... I also have work after school so i will have them tonght... Sorry about that... Be sure to check back when i post them and let me know what you think... Its not the greatest at the moment because the front clip needs paint, its all chipping off and yellow[:@], but that will all be fixed in a couple of weeks... <--- Its the only bad part though...
