That's the intake.

For now, my main focus is running and reliability,

I already decreased the engine bay, but for now just focusing on the mechanics.

I'll get updated photo's when I get a chance to work on it, since it's been raining.

my dad bought me an 86 3.8L V6 Musta for my first car, it was also $300. i hated that thing with a fiery passion. i wont own a ford ever again.

And dude, it looks much better already.

Clean up the headlights, its the little things that make a car better as a whole.

Haha, I've been tired lately, and I can't think straight when I'm tired.

ATM, I'm going to see if I can flip it for a good profit, I was debating on a 5.0 swap out, but I'm not into "racing" cars anymore, so no point really.

As far as mechanical, I already fixed a few things, it still has a exhaust leak which is annoying as hell, 1 of the header bolt appears to be stripped out.

I still vote fix it then flip it, no mods.

The general idea for the moment.

Finished painting the trim.

Put it up on craigslist for $1500, see if I get any bites.

1989 Mustang LX 5 Speed

Car sold for $800

:d

haha

I personally hate those mustangs, but the 5.0's CAN be so damn fast..

I probably could of.

But I wanted it out of my driveway asap.
