My 89 coupe I got for $200.00, I pulled the 2.3 out and put a 5.0 in.



Got all the old primer off, (like to see what was under it) I am going to school for auto body, so I am doing all the body work and paint



It's looking good so far

1993SSP the front bumper cover is new, and had some good primer on it, so I left it like that.

Dumb question: How do you get the doors open again, after you've removed the handles on both sides?

I have a wire tied to the inner door handle, and ran it out of the top of the drivers door.
