P.S.I.cho

some of u may have read this from the general tech page but those of u who dont, i bought an 89 LX project car today, it was missing a hood and tail lights but the guy i bought it from had extra and gave them to me for free! the car has been weathered it was parked outside so its rusting on the front fenders but its not weak so i hope i can sand it down, some bondo has been applied and all the paint sanded. ill have pictures soon its nothing special yet just a PROJECT car

so what are your plans for the car?

I bought my 89 GT for $2000...battery didn't work and I have pretty much taken the old rotting broken parts off and replaced them...sanding isn't too bad...as long as you have a drill you can replace the head part with a cleaning wheel....let the drill do the work and you'll have it sanded down...then just put some primer or rustoleum on to protect it from rust again...if you need any parts I still have some from my 89

for my first mustang it had rust all over the car...got rid of that and bought a 1990 2.3 auto for 400...its not bad but its got dents and some really bad window tints....but for 400 its a steal...just need to get myself this 5.0 i want from my dads friend when i get the money

i got the car to my house tonight, plans are make it a strip/street car, not daily driver tho, 408 stroker, rear seat delete, (possibly roll cage), racing seats, gauge clusters, but before all that body work making the lines line up like fastpony said, i already have the drill sander just gonna do some sanding bondo primer to prevent rust

got the interrior striped finally the front seat belts are a pain in the ***...they wouldnt budge...glad im doing 5 point harness so i wont need them anymore i just cut them off for now ill grind off the bolts later, next im gonna have my uncle come in with his welding truck (since i dont have a welder) so i can replace the trunk pan and floor boards with some sheet metal, and then ill have him make me a custom roll cage and ill begin the sanding and ill shoot some primer on it

Sounds like you are on your way for a fast car.

I bought my car for $2,383.00 back in late february of this year, it had 140,000 miles on it. The motor ran very smooth, the tranny shifted shifted awesomely, it had a brand new top on it, the interior is awesome and the paint isn't bad either. It had a few things that needed to be fixed on it like the speedometer but overall it just needed a full tuneup, and that full tune up REALLY woke up the 5.0, you can't tell that it's got 141,000 miles on it. I love the car to death and I got it at a VERY good price. After monday it will be a "certified" daily driver. I get my rear window fixed that day (the bottom part of my rear window came deattached from the vinyl on the 'vertible top).

my '95 was the same way it came with a new top and it was in great condition, it had around 120k miles on it, i replaced the entire ignition, distrubutor and all with an MSD setup and replaced the TFI module and the MAF now it can finally be raced, i need to do the U-joints soon tho u can hear them when i shift...but project car is on its way
