Hope All Goes Well. Sounds like a cheap DD to me. Funny Avatar by the way with the cat fish / Camaro SS Mix.

I havent really gotten to clean it up yet but I promised pictures. So far all I did was put in an old Alpine Radio and 4 speakers. But anyway, here are the pics.

The Interior needs work. The guy before me was a dumb ass. Instead of just getting new Christmas trees and putting them in the door, he decided to drill holes in the door and bolt them in.. I was like Really? SO I fixed that, when I installed the new speakers. Also, the picture of the deck has two interesting things. First the Climate controls are beat to shit. FORD in their infinite wisdom used hollow buttons... so you poke them and they break. Second, the previous owner installed some off-brand gauges for Volt, Oil Pressure and Water Temp. So I has those now too.

Nice, I have driven a few of these over the years that came in as trades and was tempted to buy a few but never did.
I think its a kick ass Daily Driver for a young guy who already has a Mustang.

I have been on a search for months for a DD myself and would love a new SHO but I am cheap... I think I have settled on a Marauder.

Thanks Man. However, I think I screwed something up. I degreased the engine and after the rinse she stutters and doesnt like to accelerate at all... I dont know what I did...

DropTopPony · Sep 18, 2010

water in the plug boot maybe. When I clean the engine with water I will let it dry all day with the hood up so it all evaporates.

Looks good nevertheless, hopefully the stuttering problem was just a little residual water and while evaporate.

Is this the same color and body style from "Santa Claus" the movie with Tim Allen (Home Improvement show star) that he drove in the movie to the dinner.

Sorry to go off topic it just looked oddly familiar from when I was a kid watching that movie. Great looking DD. Looks like you got a smoking deal if she holds up good.

Forgot all about that, used to a be a big complaint of all the owners that the buttons were cracked open from just regular use

I fixed my problem. Thanks to Droptop. I had an entire spark plug hole filled with water.

Oh and Im thinking of doing tinted healights and tails on it.... then where it says SHO doing black inserts.

Good call, like a mustang it really sets off the rear, they are a bit of a pain to do but look so good when done

I remember doing that on my White 88 GT with using black vinyl inserts that were given to when I bought the car. To be honest it looked good and was a pain lining up with grooves but after a while of rain, slight snow, and washing of car they slowly came off and I finally took them all off I believe.

Yeah I haven't decided on vinyl inserts or paint with a lot of prep. I kinda like the blue because it would match my Intake, but black just pops more. And I want to tint stuff so yeah I dunno.
