Well...the engine is in, and WOW this little car of mine looks TOUGH! I added that front valance over the winter, and this is the first time I've seen the car at ride height with it!!!

 

That's Awesome!!

 

Looks good Traci.

 

Here are some shots of mine.

 

AWESOME!! Love the '89s!! I'm still waiting for some sunny weather before I post pics of mine in this thread. Looks like it will be a while yet!

 

Quick tech question...

Does the "H" or "X" pipe really add anything? Contemplating a purchase of a UPR "X" pipe. Seems like a simple enough power enhancer.

 

Well, already had an "intro" post awhile back, & pics posted in the Fox froum, but this is a great place to show her off too, these pics were taken back in march of 06, but apart from a bath, she is identical. Best $1,200 I ever spent.



and with the engine washed, & water in the carb

 

Nice job! Love the louvers!! I wish I could find a 5.0 deal like that!

 

I finally had some good sunny weather to take some good pics today! Plus I finally got to wash it! The first pic is of when I got it almost a year ago, man what a change! The last pic is from last week when I got my wheels, and the two other pics I took today after I washed it!! I still got a lot to do! The pics don't really pic up every little detail if you know what I mean! Well, here they are!!

 

REST:

 

WOW!!! Your car is a total transformation from a grocery getter to stunner!!!! I never saw the before picures!!

 

Thanks, my uncle (PO) feels the same way!

 

Man, its amazing what paint, wheels and a few little custom touches can do to a bone stock 2.3L. Nice job! I love what you've done with it

 

Thanks Arin!!

 

I wantd to buy a 2.3L once... a 2.3L II lol. 'Twas Tangerine Orange, and on ebay, and $800, and perfect, and mom said no *sigh*

 

More pics of mine...in action...

 

Any news?...

 

yeah, me neither. nice!

 

very nice lift action ! Traci

 

Still a work in progress, whoever owned her before me really didn't do the best job at redoing her but, I'll use that as a starting point. Ok maybe things don't work,stereo fell out of the dash AND wiring was duct taped together but its solid with no rust. After coming home from work after a long day and I have the top down, I really don't worry about it.
