"New" vert for the wife

[Martin0660]

We just got this home ...

93 LX Vert, 2.3L auto. Previous owner installed the GT nose and Tail panel. Car is very solid, just needs the typical fox stuff fixed (DS door handle, passenger power lock, ashtray, etc) and a good cleaning. Runs great and has a new top ... I'm not a fan of the white 4 lug Cobra R's

For right now, it's just going to be a driver / toy for her ;)

[INSANELY CRAZY]

nice buy bob

thats one thing i could never understand is why people put GT front/rear but leave sides undone... i know the brackets are needed for sides but c'mon people....

[THE BIG KOALA]

Is that the one you were telling me about.Looks good

why people put GT front/rear but leave sides undone

I know Rob, not sure what I'm going to do with this stuff anyway. I might put it back to the LX stuff, otherwise maybe a set of Saleen side skirts. It needs something the way it is.

Is that the one you were telling me about.

I think so Joe (although we was working on another one too). Finally got it for what I wanted to pay.

LOL, well ... Actually no intent to race this car EVER (vert and all that brings along) but it will likely end up with a small turbo at some point.

Small world isnt it ... Although I wish you still had them ;)

I can't remeber Kris, but what was the overbore on that one?? If it's .020 or less, let's talk (for some reason I was thinking it was .040)

Did she see the light and request the auto? :)

You asked for this ... No, she realized she was a woman and wanted the automatic

Funny thing is, we started looking for a stick car for here as she wants to drive a stick but my stuff it to tought to learn on (off/on clutch).

Cool your wife wanted a stang

For sure, I think I'll keep her ;)

A few pics after cleaning the outsdie and underhood. Interior still needs Steamed but that will have to wait until next week.




Power house!



Going ot change the lights and fix the door handle and misc stuff tonight ... Hope to be out enjoying top down in the sun tomorrow :D

I think the wheels look pretty good on it actually.

[ruger77]

Looks good man!

[somethingclever]

Looks great....I hope to see an LX nose and tail on it soon as well. :)

[Martin0660]

Thanks guys!

I hope to see an LX nose and tail on it soon as well. :)

Soon isn't happening ;) Right now I'm getting all the little stuff taken care of (got new front lights, fixed DS door handle, PS lock actuator, little BS like that). Still have to put a new radio plate in it and do the ash tray fix then it will be time to park it for the winter.

I had a blast driving it over the weekend with the top down. I never had much interest in vert's but this one is growing on me ;)

[93FOX]

[Black Vert]

Get those torque boxes reinforced as well!! All kidding aside, nice car and pretty damn clean engine bay.
