hi guys, and girls. my name is chris and i am 20. i finished my mustang project about two years ago and i really like the car. i am almost done with another project, a 1986 Merkur XR4TI, it has the ford 2.3 turbo in it. and i am beging to miss working on my simple 289. so i figured i would take a look back at the mustang to see what i could do to it to spice it up alittle. here are some pics of the car. i know that what most of you care about the most and thats what i would care about as well.

 

Welcome to the forums thats a sweet car you got. if i were you i'd spend all my time working on her so i could get in some drive time.

 

got to change IMG to img welcome to the forums

 

Wow, nice car! Can I ask where a couple of those pictures were taken? You don't see that many brick streets these days...at least not in that condition. Looks like your restored car is in a restored neighborhood.

 

nice, cept the wheels... [:'(]

 

very nice. are you modifying the merkur? or just taking it back to stock?

 

we used to have brick streets, but the city paved over them in the 60 i think it was, way before i was born so i dont know the exact year[8D]

 

thanks for all of the positive respons. as far as the questions here goes
1. the pics are taken in old town st. charles which is near st. louis. there is three or four brick streets and there is a lot of shops and resturants on the streets. it is on the missouri river.
2. i am modifiy the merkur and i am almost done with the engine. i just need to tune it alittle here are the list the thingds ive done to it so far
1. new turbonetics super 60 turbo
2. new xs power exhaust manifold
3. ported everything- head upper and lower intake
4. new front mount intercooler
5. new cone air filter
6. polished and painted valve cover
3. and as for the user who does not like my wheels, i am not mad, just surprised. you are the first person in like two years that did not like my wheels. but i guess different strokes for different folks. thanks again for all of the postive response.

lots of the guys like a more traditional wheel[8D]

 

i like what you have done. to each his own. if he likes his wheels let him be.

on a personal level i prefer atleast a mustang wheel. but hey its not my car.
on a tech level how do you like the tire/wheel size. are those 17 inchs? how does your mustang handle with them?

btw i dig your paint. and the merkur is definatly unique.
