Finally pictures! he dropped it off around.. 3 and i got home at 3:30. Got started on it quiock as hell to. Floors were a gimme, i knew there was a reason it was so cheap, but i've seen worse. The lower part of the core support needs to be replaced, as its been relocated about 3 feet forward from someone pulling on it :nonono: computers missing, but what can i say. It's a 91, someone did a true dual setup and some mufflers.. (off brands). The dash is in beautiful condition though. All the vents are perfect, and everythings perfectly working. The ashtray door is even solidly on there and works :shrug: But the weirdest part is the car was some guys, and i found a bunch of letters from his girlfriend and she broke up with em, and the story behind the car is the guy got depressed, and drove the **** out of it :shrug: and left it there, sold it to the guy i bought it from for little to nothing. Kinda weird :)

It needs help, but like everything in the world, it deserves a second chance. Rear floor pans arent a big deal. Just gonna restore it, put in a shortblock i have here at the house, stall, cam, shift kit, and gears. Make it a nice car :nice:

btw, those pics are at my house, it was DRAGGED out of a junkyard onto a trailer.. hence the f'd up core support

As for V.. he will remain the daily driver.. and probably stay the exact same way as it is now.

it needs a LOT of work obviously but for just 400 bucks you have one hell of a project car and not crap in it so let the restoring begin :)

auto stangs= :puke:

dont hate it because my automatic out shifts your 5spd :angel:

it doesn't have anything to do with performance, there just a lot more fun to drive.
it's been proven time and time again that a 5spd will get you a few tenths over an auto, unless it's a fully built competition auto

but 5spds are less reliable.. a c4/6 vs a toploader is the original debate.. manuals are alot more fun to drive, no doubt. But automatics are alot nicer in traffic, driving around town, daily use. I've had my share of 6 speeds and 5 speeds already, no doubt there fun, just a pain sometimes

props for having both ponies AND ten-holes. That's gangsta :pimp:

X2. The only factory Mustang wheel worse than ten-holes is SVO wheels, lol.

Nice buy Steven, makes me jealous :p
