Sorta anyway. I joined last year when I was looking at getting a '99-'04, but never did. I bought an '89 LX last week though. It started out as a Georgia State Police car. It's got some stuff done already. All I plan on doing is painting it, replacing some worn out parts, and doing a 5 lug conversion for the 35th anniversary wheels I have. No pics right now, but here's the list it has.

aluminum radiator w/ e-fan
AC/smog delete
BBK 65mm throttle body
Granatelli 70mm mass air meter
ported and polished Cobra intake
1" intake spacer
ported and polished GT40 heads with Kuntz valves
306c.i. Scat forged rotating assembly
Ford Racing stainless headers
2" drop springs
BBK caster/camber plates
Scat high rpm matched cam
Tremec TKO500 tranny
Lakewood bellhousing
King Cobra clutch
aluminum driveshaft
3.73 gears

Not yet. I don't have internet at home, so I have to wait to get pics. I will try to get some. I forgot to mention it also has a Moroso battery relocation kit.

Sorry it took so long for pictures. As you can tell more money was put into the drivetrain than the body. Like I said though, I'm going to repaint it, lower it a hair, and put on some different wheels and tires. I'll also snap a few more pics today. Sorry they're not the best quality. It was with my phone.

It's another work in progress. 32'x50' with 12' ceilings and a 24'x16' paint booth. I'll snap some pics of it too. We've gotten the booth framed up since then.

No, I've got drop springs on the shelf. Waiting to put them on until I do my 5-lug conversion. It has unknown springs with drag shocks. And sorry about the pics last time. Here's some.

Ha, gotta love the patriotic hood hinge colors.

Should look great with the mods you are talking about. Great start, too!
