Lets see your Bimini Blue pics...

[ShawnQ]

I picked this 1991 Bimini Coupe up late last year, and hope to restore it. It's a clean car overall with some minor cosmetic stuff here and there. I always wanted a Bimini coupe when I was younger, so when I saw it I had to snag it.

Lets see your bimini cars...here's mine

clean car man! i love the color and the black interior.

i have the black interior but my car is Light Crystal Blue

That's an awesome color combo.

I had a light crystal blue '90 before. Wish I still had it. Much sharper than just plain ole black

I've been wanting one forever. I'm military and have almost 0 time to work on it, so I was hesitant to buy it...but I couldn't resist. I'll get time eventually I almost got a small loan and bought Xsporter's bimini car that he just sold, that thing was slick!

It's a factory 5.0/5spd, 94,xxx miles, never wrecked. It's a midwest car with a small amount of surface rust starting in the front frame area. I will take care of that to prevent spread. The previous owner had a respray done on this one with some cheesy ghost flames that I'm not a fan of, so I plan to have it re-sprayed. You can barely see them in the pics...white whispy pearl. The decklid also had rust on the lip so it has a glass one on it that's white...needs paint. I also want to paint the mouldings body-color. After that, FR500 wheels with a brake upgrade...and maybe a street friendly turbo kit down the road. I intend to keep all of the amenities though, P/S, A/C, etc...

The interior is in great shape. I want to replace the LX seats with either 94+ charcoal leather, or some corbeaus. Otherwise, it's clean as it is.

Does anyone know if factory 5.0s came with the 'lx' interior in 91? I thought they all had tweed interior? I'm not sure if this car is factory black interior or not. I know the interior itself is not dyed, and the screws are all correct, but I thought the factory 5.0's all came with tweed/sport interior in 91-93. So, the interior may have been converted at one point.

There werent many made in this color so I want to fix it right and keep it...just a matter of time to get it all done!

See above regarding seats

In regards to the ponies, I'm either going with 17" Pony Rs or FR500s...not sure which. I want to upgrade the brakes though, no doubt.

I still think you were crazy for selling that! You will no doubt miss it, you have to.

 

[Mintsick]

Man Xporter that thing is unreal looking such a clean look! The OP has a very clean looking ride as well, I never see this color on any stang in my area.

 

[ShawnQ]

XPorter,

I was tempted to pull the trigger on yours. Did you end up getting close to your asking price? Beautiful car!!

 

[xporter]

I do miss it but it went to a good guy. Definately got close to what I was asking, I wouldn't have sold it otherwise. I am now enjoying an 06 GT but I will get another fox in the near future.

 

[25thmustang]

I loved that car xporter!

 

[bamajason]

i like how you painted the black trim. im thinking about paint my trim the body color when i get it done.
by the way what size tires was you running on the back. i believe i =m going to step up to the pony r's myself.

 

[xporter]

Actually 92-3 came factory with the side trim painted. I did however have the car repainted. I was running a BFG 275/40 on a 10" rim in the rear

 

[foxmustangman]

Yeah, it only took Ford 13 years to realise that Body-Color side moldings looked good lol

 

[ShawnQ]

Here she is after paint. Still not 100% done, but pretty close!

I haven't had a chance to take any 'good' pics because winter is upon us now...but it turned out nice and slick. I still need to put the antenna in it, adjust the new e-brake (cobra disc conversion), and a few other odds/ends.

If you're looking for paint in my area, let me know - Rocky does good work and he's really fair.

that car is beautiful. It was really nice beforehand too but now..super sweet.

 

[ShawnQ]

Thanks!

The original pics hid a lot of small flaws. It wasn't trashed or anything, but it had a few issues. They're all gone now!

Dont happen to still have the black seats do ya?
