Well I sold my 95GT (Teal Resurrection) project and picked up a pair of LX coupes!
One was a 1989 LX coupe converted to a 5.0. It had bolt ons, but need some work.
I did a little fixing up (new black seats, a radio, and speakers) and sold it for a small profit.

At the same time, I came across this 93 LX coupe original 5.0 in Reef blue.
It already had AFR165 heads, 1.6 roller rockers, Edelbrock RPM II intake, 70mm t/b, PMAS meter, 24# injectors, SPEC 3 clutch, TKO500 transmission, 4.10 gears, Moser c-clip eliminator axles, etc.
It also had black interior...a plus!

Of course no car is perfect for me, so I tore into it and started changing it to suit my tastes.

I have completed the following so far -
MACH 1 front seats (installed and feel great)
New door panels, clips, sound deadener, moisture barriers, window and lock switches, and new handles/arm rests. (Installed)
MACH 1 style rear seat covers (black with gray stripe) on order from TMI to match front seats. (ON order not installed yet).
Hurst pistol grip shift handle.
PYLE radio with GPS, Navigation, Backup camera, DVD, USB, bluetooth, etc. (installed and I love it).
Pioneer door, dash, and rear speakers (installed)
Kicker 10" sub and amp (installed)
New trunk mat (Pony emblem), new floor mats (Pony emblem), new trunk and rear seat sound deadener.
New smoked headlights
6,000K HID headlight kit installed
Pony grille insert painted and installed
Steeda sport lowering springs installed
Maximum motorsports rear lower control arms installed
New rear brake drums installed
Steeda billet caster/camber plates installed
Tokico struts installed (rear shocks on back order)
17" 1993 Cobra replica wheels (chrome) with Nitto tires (255-40-17) installed


More to come!! :)

That is very very nice. I'm probably one of the few people that likes the cobra wheels too. Nice pick up.

Thanks guys.
I picked up a 5 lug conversion for it tonight. (95 spindles and a 98 complete rear with disc brakes).
Going to get some new wheels for the car (probably 18").
This car is going to be my toy that I will DD and sometimes hit the track.
Plans are a nitrous kit and slicks for track events. Maybe run some low 11's and have some fun.
