Restoring the old Eight Nine Stang


In my quest to upgrade my wheels, I've resorted to emailing people in the local classifieds who are selling their Mustangs that have the Cobra R wheels. I want to do a trade plus cash. I need some Cobra R's! :headbang:

EDIT: In case you don't know what they look like:

I wish I could hang this up with my Premium Member banner. I made this today messing around in Photoshop. I really like CS4 by the way. My wife's boss bought the Adobe Web Premium Suite for us. I already owned PS6 and PS7, and CS4 is a huge upgrade.

It's April... have you taken the Stang out yet?

Yes, I've had it out twice. I don't know if you read the earlier posts, but it also is sporting a new T5 now. My 2nd gear was shot, so it is a HUGE improvement with the brand new 2nd gear, bearings, and synchros in it. I REALLY wish it would stop snowing, I want to drive it more.
 
My buddy brought his '90 LX over today and we went for a little ride (I sold him my old intake so he can make his a little faster. Made me want to drive the "Eight Nine" even more. I'm seriously getting anxiety over this. Damn it all!
 
LOL, that has actually been done before. My friend used to moon people all the time in our "cruising state" days. Now the po-po doesn't let you go passed them more than twice (or something like that) or they pull you over.

Them were the good old days.

Oh man, we used to drag state st EVERY weekend!! good times man, good times! :headbang:

Yeah, so did we. One night my buddy (same guy that did the mooning) got a ticket for "enjoying the Bee Gee's a little too much" the cop said as he was laughing. He had Saturday Night Fever cranked.

On graduation night another friend of mine rented a 93 Ford Fiesta (only had like 500 miles on it) and within 2 or 3 hours time we had pulled out the stock stereo, installed an amp and two 15's in the back, and went dragging State.

Damn Salt Lake Police put the brakes on the fun though. I have tons of stories from that street.
 
we got pulled over once and my buddy got a ticket cuz we had like 11 girls in the bed of his ram. another time we stopped at a gas station and there was a younger homeless guy who asked us if we had some change or could give him a ride. so we gave him a ride up and down state a few times and the dude was having a blast looking at all the boobies! :D

I did read about the new T5. Glad to hear you are having fun with it. I don't want to thread crap in here so I will just update my thread with where I am at.

By the way, I will package up and mail some of the heat we are having. Last 2 days we have cleared 90 degrees. I'm pretty sure we set some records.
 
how did you get the fox body tag?!

edit. oh wait i see what you done there! hahah

re-edit; a ha! i am also equally awesome with my foxbody tag

No worries, I'm not anal about other stuff being posted here - especially if it's about a Mustang. Oh, and if you can send 15 to 20 degrees my way, that would be superb!

I'm not sure. I might if I'm not in the middle of doing my headers, etc. I really need to get my fat a$$ over to one though.
