I been coming to this site for a few minths now and I just finally got new pics of my car developed, so here they are. 1st of all I gotta tell everyone that it's a 2.3. I know some of you will probably harrass me about having a 4cyl stang and putting so much $ into it lol. But I happen to love my 2.3, great runner and great gas mileage. It took me 5 years of saving $ to get it like it is now! This 1st pic is just to show what it looked like when I bought it stock. So anyways, here's the info on the things I had done...

1990 LX 2.3l 4cyl. 5-speed hatchback - stock motor.
custom cat-back (y-pipe) stainless steel dual exhaust w/ 18" glass packs.
rear window louvers, abs plastic (jc whitney).
mach-1 style hood, fiberglass (cobra auto designs).
saleen style body kit, urethane (cervinis.com).
cobra wing '93, fiberglass (abcexcusive.com)
tailight covers, diagonal slotted (gts).
17" cobra-r '95 replica wheels, aluminum/alloy (afswheels.com).
saleen side stripes (performanceautosport.com)

just professionaly repainted in april by a local ford dealership, kept original color. I wanted the center molding to be white, so I just decided to have the whole thing redone to bring it back to that 'new' look and to fix a few small blemishes. Before the repainting the body was excellent, there was only 'very' minimal surface rust showing up under the wheel wells and a tiny bit around the keyhole on the rear hatch. Now it's rust free!

stereo - clarion cd deck, blaupunkt 5 1/4's in doors and 5x7's in back. in the hatch are 2 12" kicker comps powered by a 750w jensen amp.

Any comments or suggestions.....(and I don't want to hear "put a 5.0 in it" cuz I hear that just about every day ) I'd like to put a 2.3 turbo in it tho!

Welcome. Mighty big car you got there

Just kidding..nice ride

 

looks good. now when you have a 5.0 donor motor you'll be good to go! like the LX on the side molding. thats original. we all have to start somewhere, i drove a 90 lx 4 cyl as my daily driver when i first got married. had an 86 gt vert for fun. now i have a 92 lx 50 and 04 gt

 

Nice looking saleen replica there! Now instead of doing the 5.0 conversion, get a turbo on that thing!

 

more power to you (thats horsepower get the turbo)

 

Thanks guys! And the turbo is what I want someday. But 1st I need extra $ and 2nd I need to find one in decent shape.

 

nice car now drop a v-8 in that baby

 

Very nice looking car wild...I love the fox body mustangs.Nothing wrong with the old 4 banger either.Them darn motors will run forever and are cheap to run.Ive been looking for a white 89/90 myself lately and thought i almost was in luck last week at local sunday car swap meet.But darn thing was just to rusty to be worth fixing up.Why is it i find a nice fox that is wrong color and a beater that is always the right color (white) oh well ill keep looking till i fall over trying (i gotta have something to play around with this winter in the old garage)...

ps: love the paint job ya got...

 

A used T-bird Turbo Coupe motor shouldn't be too hard to find.

 

Thanks all! And yea I been lookin around getting prices and info on turbos with hopes to get one someday. One thing I wasnt sure about was if the t-bird turbo would fit right into my car? Other people say the svo turbo's will most likely fit, but how about the t-bird
The svo turbo's and t-bird turbo's are basically the same motor right?

 

Very nice fox, and i respect the fact that your leaving the 2.3 liter in it.

 

Same engine.

 

that is a beautiful car my friend

 

the 2.3 turbo out of the turbocoupe will drop right in.

www.turboford.org can help you out alot with all the particulars of the swap. from what i hear its not terribly difficult.

PS: nice car!

 

Thanks all..... And thanks for the link Bill, i'll bookmark it for future reference.

 

nice car man :nice

 

I guess I am kind of a 4 cyl junkie
All auto except the black one its standard 5 speed

 

AWESOME driveway scene!
