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....

 

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.

 

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.

 

That mustang looks much better in the dark.

 

so when's the next show and shine?

 

any plans for the useless mustang shell once you do the transplant?

 

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.
