Finally bought a mustang!!

[mh200]

its not a sn95, its a foxbody. but i would still like to be a part of this great forum!! ccasion14:
its a 1990 Mustang Gt, high milage but runs like a champ! drive train is perfect, except that its a one wheel wonder lol, need to get a posi.
also needs some body work, which is alright with me. original color was actually wild strawberry red. i do want to paint the car some time
but dont know if to paint back to original color (or original color with titanium gt ground effects),
two tone black and white (current job is not great as you can see on the close up), or all black or all white.
interior is red. im so psyched to have the car i always wanted as my first car! dont worry, i paid for it myself :thefinger:

Good starting point.. I say you take it back to the wild strawberry..I love that color.

 

[mh200]

wild strawberry is a great color, but should i do the whole car strawberry or the ground effects titanium?

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

whole car...i honestly hate 2 tone gt's but thats just me.

 

[mh200]

i use to not like two tone, but now i actually kinda do like it, just depends what color. btw, nice 'stang

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

thanks.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

My thing with gt's is the body kit, I do not like the body kit, im a LX type guy. But when you highlight the body kit with a two tone it makes it that much worse in my eyes. But its all about what you wanna do, not me.

Good starting point.. I say you take it back to the wild strawberry..I love that color.

i agree

 

[mh200]

i was actually looking for either an lx or 94-95 5.0 but couldnt pass up on this offer, i was thinking maybe a cobra kit(kinda of cleans it up a lil)

 

[Shifty Powers]

nice GT.. glad you got the car you wanted as your first car.. im sure thats a great feeling.. Im sure youll clean the thing up as well..

great starter car man! congrats! And i say paint the whole car.. not sure on wich color but whole car for sure

Looks like a ghetto cop car. And I see a rusty hatch. Beware, them things are evil

 

[Billy50H]

nice choice :thumbsup:
i got a 89 gt, my first car, about 2 years ago and had it for 7 months then bam! i got hit by a drunk driver and my car was totalled. so now i have my 95 but i miss my 89 so much :crybaby2: haha

 

[IceMan]

Nice car. It's a good start. Have fun with it.

 

[mh200]

its actually a ghetto state trooper, you should see my dads cavalier, looks like a state trooper aswell lol, they crashed into him on the side so we got replacment passenger door and fender at a junkyard, black! lmao the hatch isnt the only thing rusted, the hood aswell has some rust, but i plan on getting both changed, the hatch has some bad rust right where it meets the bottom of the glass. i am planning on cleaning this sucker up to showroom condition or even better lol.thanks for the comments and i am psyched to have the car i wanted for a first car. i would probably like to add cobra kit. so you could get an idea of how much i paid for the car, lets just say the cobra kit at latemodelrestoration.com cost more hahah

 

[mh200]

sorry to hear about your 89 billy. this is one ghetto cop car you wouldnt want chasing behind you either! lol
nah not really, its practically stock

I don't mean to hijack your thread but I wanted to share and hopefully inspire you! I bought my 90GT for $2000 and she needed quite a bit of work, what you see pictured below is the completed car! I went through and re did everything! and unlike what some refer to as everything, I mean I replaced everything!!! lights, brakes, suspension, interior, headliner, new body gaskets, new windshield, new glass surround trim, sunroof gaskets, rebuilt engine,tranny,rear end, etc... When the car sold there was not anything older than 2 years on the car :confused1: Here is what my 90Gt looked like when I finally finished her! she was originally 2 tone gray/titanium, but I went with Mineral Grey as the new color and said goodbye to the dated 2 tone look...

And this is the shot taken of me and my boys by the new owner the day I sold it and it was picked up! :crybaby2: she sold for $6900

 

[mh200]

thats a nice 'stang, luckily my interior is complete, no cracks anywhere, no tears in the seats, even the ash tray still works, but i dont smoke so that doesnt matter anyway. hopefully i could bring mine back they way you did yours, except i probably wouldnt sell it
