For those of you who don't know, I got rid of my 01 Mustang Cobra for a Lightning last October. I bought a house and needed something more practical for homeowner type stuff. At that time, I also decided that I was going to build a Factory Five Roadster.

I now have my donor 5.0 Mustang. It's a 1989 5.0 LX Coupe. Black with green hood. Automatic w/ 118,000 miles.

I'm gonna put it on the road for a couple of months (to shake out any mechanical issues) before I start the teardown and I hope to have the actual kit by this fall (Assuming I can be frugal enough)

Pics (I'll get better ones when it's not raining outside.)

Who needs pix of an '89 Mustang? ;)

Can't wait to see the roadster, that will be very cool.

Yeah. I'll come over there to St. Pete and lay the smackdown on those tight little miata courses.... :-P

Bring it, bro! I'm sure everyone would enjoy being spanked by a Cobra-clone much more than by an SUV on steroids or an Impala SS. :)

I said I was laying the smackdown on the course... not my competitors. :-P

:lol: Speaking of.......... looks like I'm off on the Saturday the next event falls on :)

Learned on Sunday that I can push the SUV much harder without front end plow with the new wheel+tire combo.

I'll let you drive it. I'm sure it'll look as good in the daytime with a nice coat of mud as it does in the dark.

A nice coat of mud would look good on that car. Let me know when you want me to "break it in". :lol: :p
