A bit of explanation first off... After a lot of soul searching and bank account withdrawals with not much to show for it, I still had a '94 gt that was wrinkled like used aluminum foil and rotted everywhere else underneath. I had done some digging and found out that it had been totaled when it was only 2 years old, and before I got it had really been hacked back together. I really didn't have the finances to repair it to a safe (IMHO) ride and what it really deserved. The last owner offered to buy it back from me plus parts, time and effort I had put into it, as he just really missed the car and wanted bit back as well. Sooo long story short, I am no longer a SN-95 owner.. Buuuuutt!!!!!! There's a bright light on the horizon!!!! I'm still a pony owner!!!May I present to you all who have stuck with me thus far!! Project Cherry Bomb!!! She's a 1990 Mustang LX powered by a 351M with an automatic (one if the other reasons I had to let the other one go, disabled and a stick don't mix for me), it's got a stock 2 barrel carb feeding it all that raw power!! Underneath is as cherry as you can find for a car of this age, no rust, no wrinkles, no wrecks either.. all the body panels still have the original Vin number on them! 97,000 original miles!!
I've included some pics of the inside, so you can all see what I mean about the shape of this ride and it even still has the sticker on the valve cover from the OE use of the engine so it'll make it easier to start out sourcing a few parts for that part of it. Things are a lil snug under hood in some places as you can see by the driver's side valve cover and the brake booster!! It is a hatchback car and does have a factory installed sunroof with it as well!! There are some areas that I will need to address along to way with it.. I'll need to source a driver's side door glass, and I'd like to find a used fiberglass hood for it somewhere, but that will come in time. My main goal right now is to flush the fuel system as it's been sitting for quite some time... I'm really encouraged with Cherry Bomb as I've got one with good bones, and I picked out the name because under it all a lil cleaning up and some TLC and she's really cherry underneath it all!!
