The GF's new used '89 Mustang LX 4cylinder
She has had her car for a while now. She just got her plates and insurance on it though! It's pretty clean for the abuse it has had in the past and she did a nice clean up job on it as well! Just thought I'd post some pictures up since it is a Ford and all

lol, We were already discussing engine options she's leaning more towards the 2.3 Turbo swap for the better gas mileage etc. How hard is it to do the 5 lug conversion? She loves those Cobra rims we may do that as a weekend project or something. I don't think she's ready for a v-8 yet since this is her first car and all. Although she did learn how to drive in an old Chevy pickup with a 4 speed eheh.

Make sure you take some 2000 grit to those headlights before you let her drive it at night.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

The Turbo 2.3 swap would be pretty simple on that car. You can use the factory EEC harness, just need to move some of the wires in the connector (like less than 10). The stock turbo motors put out 210 hp and I think 285 torque but can easily surpass that with minor tweaks. Many owners report over 30mpg on the highway and close to 30 combined city/highway. Is that car a 5 speed or auto?
