My first car, of course a 5.0! ( Thanks + pics )
Hello everyone. So back in November I bought a 1990 5.0L mustang lx with 225k KM’s on it.
I then found this forum, and here I am today. I made a post about how I just bought my first car, of course this mustang. You all begged for pictures, so here are some, not the best, but gets the job done.
I am 17 and I bought it for $3000 CAD. There is literally no rust. I spent about a week, underneath this car with sand paper and a wire brush scrubbing the tiny spots I found. The body is nice, and the paint is kief, but ill worry about that later. As of now I re-wired the stereo, because the old owner though he didn’t need one? And I put some lovely flow masters on.
Other than that and the k&n its 100% stock, and runs perfectly J
Today is my first day to finally unleash the beast, after keeping it all in secret in the garage.
That you to everyone who has helped me with all of the questions, here are the pics, feel free to comment!
Thanks!

wow congrats...5-speed notch for CA $3000
what is that like twenty five bucks US ??? just playin...it's actually probably less than 3k right now w/ out crappy market
anyways...keep checking claasifieds on this mustang site, http://www.stangnet.com http://www.corral.net and also ebay for used rim/tire packages
some very good deals out there.....16" ponies look great on our cars, also cobra r's or bullets if you do the lug swap
lots out there...no need to spend much more than $500-$700 for the whole deal including newish tires
then keep the 10-holes for winter
