The Beginning

It's been 4 years since I had a Mustang. In 2002 I sold my 12 second 85 GT and purchased a new 2002GT. I sold the 02GT in 2003. My life has changed quite a bit since then and I began looking for a new project with my wife. Luckily I stumbled upon a great deal from a friend. On Feb 25th I picked up a 1993 Wild Straweberry 5.0 LX 5 speed with grey interior. The interior is pretty clean but needs a few things. The body needs a hatch and both front fenders due to rust. The motor runs stong with 169k on the clock.

The rust has already began to battle me. Since having it a short time, one of the tail pipes rotted off. While taking the tail pipe out to drive it home I ruptured the passenger rear brake line. I was swapping out the brake line and the threads snapped in the wheel cylinder so I had to put a new one those in. Once that was done I was bleeding the brakes with my dad and the main line from the front to the back blew. I ended up crimping the line and making it home on the front brakes.

Future plans so far include... new fenders and hatch and off to the body shop for a paint job. 5 lug conversion with 94-95 discs up front and in the rear. Long tube headers, catted X-pipe, and I have already ordered a full Stainless Steal cat back system by Pypes. Once its looking good and running solid then the usual Mustang goodies will come.... heads, intake, cam, gears, frame connectors, and so on.
