well, i bought it knowing there were a few problems..was gonna sell it and get a truck but thats out the window. right now is leaking gas, not sure if its a line or the injectors..definitly not the tank..also needs a drivers shock and a rad coming up soon.

but

lots of rust, my plan is to cut out the rockers and chop up the rear quarter panels, get rid of all the rust and paint it either black or tan. paint the wheels black, fix the exhaust with a cherry bomb turbo muffler and driver it into the ground.

opinions?

shes a 1990 mustang lx with a 2.3, auto, bought to serve dd duty for $900





jeep will be getting painted camo too this spring so ill be busy painting

thanks

Don't paint it tan. Some old guy around here owns a tan one. It looks terrible in that color.

Wow, and I thought my project Mustang was rusty! You can trash a stang though, even if it's a 2.3L. A little bit of work, some strong internals, a turbo and you'll be flying in that thing. Cut out the cancer, weld in some new metal, a little bondo to clean up the edges and paint it satin black, they look awesome in satin black. Flat black just makes it look like crap if it's done with spray cans. Here's what I'm working with

Cut it up and sell the good parts and drive over the rest of it with your jeep.

Don't buy a civic and put a fart can on the back of it. It doesn't add 150 HP, it just sounds like crap.

You could drive it into a tree and videotape it for Youtube.
