93' back on the streets!

93' off the streets... again (Update)

I recently bought a 1993 Mustang LX. It's been in & out of the shop for two & a half months. Finally after the following parts being replaced, it's back out on the road where it belongs!

Replaced parts include: New Radiator - Flushed system, New Water Pump, Serpentine belt tensioner, Timing Cover, Timing Chain, Timing Cover Gasket & Valve Cover Gasket.

Now, it's time for the autobody work and upgrades to engine.

It must feel good to have it back on the road. My car has been off the roads since May, but hopefully by this time next week Ill have it going and looking around for a rear with a gear.

looks good and congrats on the new ride but get rid of the saleen wing, no good on a stock lx a regular lx wing or a cobra wing would look much better

The saleen came with it, but I'll most like be parting with it.

However, I drove it to work this morning. Looked underneath the car, and there was a large puddle of radiator fluid. I lifted the hood and there's radiator fluid all over my water pump.

It was good while it lasted. But back to the shop she goes.... Now, I'm forced to drive the rice burner 00' Civic again.

man find a new shop! sorry to hear...

I'm thinking the same. I'm betting someone ****ed up or a hose is perhaps cracked?

The clamp for the hose was ****ed up. It's replaced. My girl drove it home from the shop. I come home shortly after. She tells me it runs great. I check the work. After I feel everything is in working order, lights, turn signal ect. I hop in. I turn the stereo on and turn the key.... except... it doesn't start. Battery is dead. I barely get the power windows back up before the juice goes. This is my curse....
