bought another foxbody.....

[Ryan218]

after months of missing mine daily :( i came across a deal that was just to good to pass up. a 1989 Mustang convertible 5.0..only downside is its an aod..but ill live with it for now. black on black..with a grey GT tweed interior. bone stock minus a dynomax cat back and some UGLY American racing wheels. which will be getting taken off the moment the car gets to my house and a set of stock turbines put on for the time being till i figure out what i want to do. was owned by a older guy who sadly passed away on Tuesday night. ( my dads co workers dad ) and we happened to see it tucked in the garage after the funeral. ( i know horrible way to get this car but he said it wanted it to go to someone who would enjoy it when he died and i will ) so im very happy. when the next cruise in? because i'll be there! :eek:

btw: i wasn't sure what forum to post this in so if this is the wrong one sorry.:confused:

teaser pics :p

driver side head light holds water and it yellowed...so..either clean the stockers up. or buy some clears or tinted headlights?

the wheels are horrible IMO and will be changed the second i get it home lol.

also..its got a nice dynomax cat back with tips.but then they stuck some nasty autozone tips on the polished tips? so going to remove them and see if i can save the polished tips. or just buy a new cat back because i really dont like the dynomax super turbo at all.

[Ryan218]

hows the street manners of a TFS 1 cam?

[Stangman]

I thats almost equivalent to a Ford Racing F-cam...

[Ryan218]

ok so pretty tame them?

[NaomiDstangLvr]

Aw! I wanna vert!!

[Stangman]

ok so pretty tame them?

512-ish lift with pretty decent duration... usually use em in stick cars...

I'd go E-cam for an automatic vert... but thats me

yeah that was my thinking.. wasent sure how a TFS 1 cam would go for the AOD..i already have a TFS 1 too...lol

keep it for when ya go stick shift

So are you going to 5 lug this one like you were going to five lug the old vert?

[Ryan218]

knowing me..i cant leave things alone. so probaly...this winter id like to do alot. but idk if i want to do it to it. either leave it stock..or just go mild with it. 5 lug it and lower it...polished 99 cobras would be nice. then a full exhaust because thats a must! mod bug has already hit me. :( 5 speed swap would be the biggest thing that would make me happy.

what amazes me still is that the 1/4 windows go up and down perfect!!!!!!
