I also have a 93 Mustang, right it's sitting with a 2.3 turbo pushing 21lbs of boost. There is a Windsor block sitting on the engine stand just waiting to be rebuilt for it. I don't have any pics of it though...

Here's my daily driver when its nice out:

United Motors V2S-250R



So far ive added a tank protector and Screamin Demon exhaust.

Its a lot of fun to ride, and gets 60 mpg!

I got it brand new in 08, my first bike, so im slowly gaining confidence and figuring out how everything works.

Future mods will include:

-Desnorkled air intake w/ new high flow filter
-iridium spark plugs
-rejet kit (its carbed)
-fender eliminator kit (or i may just do it myself)
-flush mounted led turn signals
-more stickers (they add horsepower....)

it will take me awhile, cuz the jeep comes first haha

This is my other money pit... 2002 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer. Has twin 5.0L EFI's with Bravo III's, loaded with AC, heat, generator, sleeps 5. This boat runs 50 mph all day long. Not parked in my garage but it's an ongoing project as there's always something to be done on it.

I really dont have anything cool like ya'll do... but this is my "other" project. It was my daily drive for a long time, but had to be retired due to a cracked frame. The engine was donated to my father's truck (65 chevy k10) and I am looking for another frame for it. Here she is in all of her glory..





... now she is sitting in the drive holding a bunch of truck junk (core support, tires, tool box, chain, scrap metal, etc)...

My current "project" is my truck. Man, I really really REALLY enjoy this thing. I can honestly say it's the funnest vehicle I have ever owned!!! Many kudos to Dodge on this one!! It's been lowered and has catless and aftermarket exhaust.





To the original poster, I used to have LS1 F-Body. I still miss that car sometimes. I had a 99 TA with a Ram Air hood. What the heck, here's a pic of it. Mine is/was the orange one.
