My new 89 Mustang GT

Marks89GT Build Thread

Hey guys. I just picked up an 89 Mustang Gt. Thought i would share. Its got a few cosmetic issues but nothing that cant be fixed. The car is completely stock. It even has the stock airbox. only things ever changed were the exhaust, and it was a stock replacement and it was painted. supposedly everything else is stock. original motor with 106,000 original miles. dont have a lot of money now so this is how it will sit for a while but i should be fixing it up and should be back in pristine condition shortly. after that who knows. here are some pics.

the browser does it automatically on mine. it takes a while to load so i was gonna do it anyways though.

Have it detailed, fix the paint problems, and some new stock headlights.. then it will look like new.

yup interior stuff too. its in decent condition but it needs some attention. new weatherstripping and whatnot. sorry not many pics of the interior.

Nice car and congratulations on the find! It looks like you're diving in head first. Looks to me like the car was originaly Regatta blue based on the color of the hatch area and the paint on the tail lights. Best of luck and keep the pics coming.

Nice car! Didn't realize you are in mass. I am up in Southern NH. What are the chances we both get black, stock, 89 GT's, within a few weeks of each other?

 

[TMIproducts]

Agree, nice find!

When you get to replacing the interior, let me know if you have any questions or would like to see any samples! We have several options (both stock and non stock) for your car!
