New member, just picked up my 1990 Mustang GT on New Year's day, for the second time!

I owned this car back in 1995 (2nd owner) and had to sell the car back then (college and starting a family). Crazy story how I tracked the car down (I can go into details later), but after multiple owners over the years (Auto Check shows 18), I finally bought it for the 2nd time. Car has been used and abused, and repainted from red to a teal-like color (I'm not a fan, still has red interior). The original engine, trans, turbine wheels are gone.

I started restoration on 1/19, I'll be restoring the car back to the way I remember it (including going back to red!).

I amazes me how many of us get attached to our cars, end up selling them for one reason or another, then search for them years later in hopes of owning again!

I agree! It's funny how it seems to be common place where at some point in our life we end up selling a car that we really didn't want to sell. I wouldn't change a thing, best decision I made was to sell the car at the time. That being said, I feel I owe it to the car to restore it and give it a new lease on life.
