My LX 4 cyl. conversion

[mustangchick]

Bought a '90 LX from 87poopcoupe back in 2005. My bf 8NO4CYL and I started the conversion late '05.

Gutted the interior and motor and trans. Painted the engine compartment.

[mustangchick]

Got the 5.0 and trans in and the V8 brakes, fuel lines, wiring and suspension.

[mustangchick]

Got some 91-93 fenders and Flowmaster exhaust.

[mustangchick]

Got it running and took it to the resident painter's house. (Plated) :D

[mustangchick]

Lots of sanding and fixing dents and dings. Filled holes in hatch for Cobra wing.

[mustangchick]

Back at home for reassembly. Awesome paint job by Chris. :bigthumb

[mustangchick]

Rushing to make the spring cruise.... black interior instead of the original grey.

[mustangchick]

Days before the Spring Cruise, decided to 5 lug it with 94-95 spindles and Ranger axles.

[mustangchick]

Couldn't resist snapping a couple pics today. Hats off to Plated for such a "sick" paint job. Thank you! :bigthumb

[8NO4CYL]

Working out a few bugs.... replaced a leaking rear axle seal tonight. Still trying to figure out if it has a bad IAC or if i am not setting the idle correctly. No high idle when starting cold. :confused: Front end alignment hopefully this Saturday.
