I remember that. Once I fixed a pair of 6x9 speakers that someone gave to me. The foam surround on them was broken, so I fixed them w clear silicone but those things were loud! and you couldn't see the fix since I put some Pioneer grilles on them.

Everything else was sprayed? I can't tell what was and wasn't, so I'm trying to figure it out!

Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the car?

my step father bought it for me at the local pick n pull for 1300, ive put about 700-800 to get it where it is now.
If you can imagine a tan interior from 1995, then imagine everything tan spraypainted black. I think there is some pictures in the beginning of the thread

The notch is almost 20 and it has a little over 120k. There was a 5.0 posted a few months ago though that had over 600k or something.

My '89 just hit 160K, and thats a twenty year old car...

with your car- if the trans has been rebuilt and the motor has had some attention paid to it and maintenance was consistent, then it might not be too bad...but more likely than not it hasn't, like most.

However, a rebuild of the motor, rebuilding the trans, freshening the rear end (replacing bearings, etc.) and the car would be fine for the most part.

I've been following your build up. Well done! The work you did on your interior gave me ideas for my wifes stang. You will love the FR500's. Great wheel.
