1990 LX Coupe

[Infidel]

Well I got it and I really thought I was going to keep it stock…WRONG…. I tried, I really tried but I could not do it especially when Tommy gave me a slamming deal on set of headers and H pipe and custom exhaust for my other car so I figured, WHY NOT lol.
So after a million and one calls to Tommy and him answering all of them I finally have it done. 1990 Ford Mustang LX coupe, 20,000 on a completely rebuilt bottom end, MAC intake, BBK Headers, BBK X-Pipe, Magnaflow Exhaust. After doing the swap and a complete tupe up(plugs, oil, wires, dist cap) its like a whole new car to me.
Special thanks to Tommy for all of his help.

Looking good!!! keep us posted!!!

[01Bullitt82]

Looks good, I love notchbacks

[Infidel]

Well I ended up selling the wheels I had to a window tinter for tinted windows and cash on top. He did a great job and now the A/C feels a whole lot colder. I had it on low and it was still cold in the car lol. I snapped off a few pics. I need to take it to a muffler shop this week to have them adjust the rear pipes cause the driver side hangs a little lower than the passenger. I really want a new set of wheels for the car with some fat meats in the back but it will have to come in time.

Well after dropping it, it turned out to be way too low. I adjusted the coilovers and finished the front swap and I will tackle the rear this week when I have some time. Well here are some pics of the stance it will have in the front while on the ground. I am really happy with the stance although it is going to need an alignment ASAP. Hopefully this will be done by the weekend.

[Infidel]

LOL

Fu@#ing base housing, I am guessing they were tired of the wives crashing into the houses haha

[Infidel]

Well finished with the front. Installed Steeda bumpsteer kit, energy suspension sway bar end link set. I need to still take it to get an alignment tomorrow and adjust the struts and coilovers. The ride feels a little rough to me.

[Infidel]

Well I took it yesterday to get the front end aligned.

I love the stance now in the front.
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a267/usmc_reyes2007/Car%20Pics/Mustang/IMG_1308.jpg

So I took it to the hobby shop today to get started on the rear

[foxforce1]

beautiful!

[mustangfreak]

Nice!!

[g-ride]

Looks great. I bet your happy with it

[Infidel]

Well I spent yesterday shampooing the carpets and I could not stand to look at a blue dash anymore

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a267/usmc_reyes2007/Car%20Pics/Mustang/IMG_2204.jpg

So I pulled out the dash so I could install my other one I had that matches

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a267/usmc_reyes2007/Car%20Pics/Mustang/IMG_2209.jpg

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a267/usmc_reyes2007/Car%20Pics/Mustang/IMG_2210.jpg

In doing so I found a wire that had melted on to other wires creating a problem in the future so I had to cut and find out where it went to . Found out it was the ignition box, and it went to the transmission. I am really glad I found this cause I had not smelled anything since I have started driving it.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a267/usmc_reyes2007/Car%20Pics/Mustang/IMG_2212.jpg


I rewrapped all the wires to get rid of that old smell from the car and to make sure all the wires were neatly wrapped. This was half way into it.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a267/usmc_reyes2007/Car%20Pics/Mustang/IMG_2214.jpg

Then I installed the new dash

[Jose]

:sSp_clangrats:

Looks great congrats on all the hard work :clap:

[g-ride]

That's one clean *** fox body.

[mustangfreak]

What are you using to detail the seats and carpet? I got some degreaser that works great but it stinks lol

[Infidel]

I only used some carpet cleaner and a brush to get into the pores. It made a huge difference in the car and the smell and then I dressed it with a light protectant.

[mustangfreak]

What kind of protectant? What's it calle?

[Infidel]

Meguiars.... Works great

[mustangfreak]

Alrite thanks
