Hi,
I am from Ottawa, Ontario and although I do own a 1990 LX 5.0 in reality the car does not exist in its manufactured form. It has given its heart and a lot of other parts for a Factory Five Roadster build. That said I have been advised that this is an excellent site to get advice and opinion on many topics. I will be doing things like engine-rebuilding, rear-end upgrades.
As an example I have changed everything to 5-lug by going to SN95 spindles up front and converting the rear-end to disc brake with North Racecars kit.
So I hope no one minds that while the car I am building is not a Mustang the major contributor to all running gear and suspension was a Mustang.
Thanks
Paul

Roadster
The Roadster although all paid for still rests in Boston. I am going to pick it up at the factory in early April once this frozen wasteland thaws a bit. But will post pics once it is here and will probably be camera crazy throughout the creation of this beast. In the meantime I am going to be interested in advice on quality shops in eastern ontario. Engine advice (thinking of a 347 stroker at this point with Powerjection EFI). Rear-end advice and a bunch of other stuff.
