After 9 years, she is going back on the road...
I last drove my 1990 Mustang GT way back in 2001 and I'm finally putting her back on the road. Many reasons why she has been off for this long but they are all excuses. Ive done a lot of work to her while she was in hibernation and fixing her last bits now. I hope she is ready by the end of the week...

Hey grown up life gets in the way, the younger guys will find that out soon enough. The important thing is you kept it, lesser men woulda sold it long ago so congratulations are in order! I bought mine as one of those projects in 05 for $300(it coulda cost 7 times more, but he just wanted it gone), I drove it 1 time, to my garage where I started taking it apart. I play when I have time and $ but it'll always be right there. You never know where the ride takes you. Nice car btw, you never see that silver with the black stripe anymore.
