I picked this car up last night. I bought it from the same person I bought my first coupe from, and my black 97 GT from. The car is a 1989 LX coupe, 87,000 miles, AOD. It is basically stock besides ceramic coated shorties, X pipe, and flowmasters. It also has a fresh AOD with about 1,000 miles on it with a shift kit. The plans for the car are simple- Fix all the cosmetic issues and drive the car for a few months. Then this winter I'll tear into it and start installing some of the parts that came with the car, as well as hopefully an On3 70mm turbo kit. Of course the motor will be pulled and the bay will be cleaned, smoothed, and painted. The plans are to stay on a strict budget of only spending $2000 more on the car, besides wheels and tires.
Pics of the car yesterday. The car had been sitting for over a year without being touched and was partially disassembled. A few hours later, we got it running and I drove it on over to my house. The car has got to be the smoothest, tightest fox I've ever sat down in, it's a great car.
And the parts that came with the car. It came with a UPR k-member kit, A-arms, coilovers, Strange struts, CC plates, MM k member brace, SVE aluminum radiator, dual fans, GT40 upper/lower, fresh GT40 heads, 3:55 gear, Anderson N41 cam, E303 cam, 3 throttle bodies, Pro-M MAF, Proform rockers, Comp Cams timing kit, and a complete gasket kit.
And the car as of this evening. I went on and put the coilovers, Strange Struts, CC plates, and cut springs I had laying around. It gave it a nice even stance that will get me by for a while. I still haven't cleaned the car up at all so that's going to be the next project. It is in desperate need of a real detail. Then it will be 5 lug time. I bought some 94-95 spindles and already have brakes for it, so all I need is some axles and drums and it will be time to swap!
Also don't mind the headlights.
