I'm back...

[red89stanggt]

Most people probably don't remember me on here since it's been a few years.. Anyway I finally sold my 06 Evo MR and decided to get back into foxbody stangs for good. I've had quite a few over the years(89 LX, 89 GT, 89 LX CPE, 91 LX 5.0 Vert) but I found this gem and this will be the starting point for my build. Some of the parts are already ordered! I hope to have it finsihed within a year or so. Anyway its good to be back! Here are some pics. Its a 92 GT original owner car, 37k original documented miles, as it was in 1992. Everyone thinks i'm nuts for hacking the car up but it will look as though it came from the factory when i'm done.

Yeah,your nuts to hack up a fox that nice,but then again,you would be nuts NOT to hack up a fox that nice.

I remember you. Nice clear car to start with thats for sure. What are your plans?

 

[red89stanggt]

A4 based 331 w/ HP Stage 3 Kit on E85, full suspension, 6spd, Baer brakes, 10pt, etc. Just looking to build a wild, clean street car.

Sweet deff post progress pictures of this thing. Any 1/4 goals or just a fun car? I love these kind of builds. Aftermarket block turbo stick are is sick, I am sure its going to be a real handful. Going to keep the stock looking interior also? Boy do I hope so...

How could we forget you Jon? How have you been man? That looks like a real nice project car. Surely a lot nicer than what you have started with in the past.

Hey man - welcome back!
That car is awfully nice to hack up, but it's yours so do what you wish. I am trying to turn my '90 GT back to the condition yours is in right now...funny how things work.

Do you still have the Mystic?

I'd like to run in the high 9's on a radial or 10.5 slick.. Yea the interior will stay stock looking except for the cage painted to match the car and some nice Corbeau's and gauges and whatnot.

Hey Jake,

I'm doing well! Yourself? I think I found a good one.. It is indeed much nicer than past cars I have owned.

Those pics were from the previous owner, so I'm not sure.. He had quite a few tractors though.

They all started the same way at one point..

Ummm - wrong person. I WISH I could afford a Viper...lol. If I could, I'd have a sick Saleen in my garage

My bad!! I must have gotten you confused with someone else. There was a guy on here at the time with a GT like yours and a viper, he was an army guy.. See, I told you all it has been a long time. Please forgive me if I forget who you were.. I remember most, but not all..
