The Wife had been missing having a Mustang of her own since we sold her 85 Saleen, so I started looking around for a little newer car for her. Finally found a 51,000-mile Calypso LX hatch that she really liked. It was pretty much bone stock when we bought it with the exception of a set of Cobra R wheels and a brand new Flowmaster Force 2 exhaust.
Overall, the condition of the car was pretty good. It had a few dings that paintless dent removal took care of, the passenger's mirror was uber faded, the belt mouldings were crusty and the door pockets and one visor were tatty. A quick visit to Mustang Parts & Accessories at 50resto took care of most of that.
After three weekends in the garage and visits to the tint shop and tire store, it is pretty much done.
Here's a shot of her car, my Saleen and a friend's Calypso notch at the Northwest Fox Reunion Picnic yesterday.
And this is a pic of us and all three of our cars. This is the first time I've ever had all three of our cars in one place other than our driveway.
