New to forum- 89 Coupe LX, Been in the area... Seattle, WA

[NastyCoupe]

Hey everyone my name is Chris, and I just picked up a 89 Coupe LX 2.3 auto for $700 and decided that I should sign up for a mustang forum. I've been a mustang guy for a while now, originally from Panama city, FL now stationed here in Seattle, WA with the U.S. Coast Guard. Wanted to get back in the scene of mustangs, I have owned 4 of them. Now I'm in the process of building this one. My plans are a 347 Stroker 302 w/ Nitrous and a C4 w/ 5000 stall and 8.8 with 4.10's as a good all around street/track car. As of now this is the way I bought her. Let me know what you think. Thanks OMG who would think about putting those ugly a$$ hubcaps and shifter knob on this

Welcome! So you left the sun for the rain. Word of advice, go buy rain gear now. But your in the U.S. Coast Guard so you probably already have some.

Got to love those hub caps. A few of us on here have Notchbacks. The rest wish they did. Thats why they call them dreams. Keep the pictures coming on the progress as most of us will too. This is my little turbo project. Or Nightmare.

Nice straight coupe and a good project starting point. You ought to come out to Kidd Valley tomorrow night and show it off a bit.

 

[Launchpad]

I don't wish I had a notch.... I also wish my hatch didn't have a sunroof.

Peace out-

Is tomorrow a rain or shine deal, sounds like it will be crummy weather-

You can't go wrong with a red coupe....

It is for most of us.

The last two nights channel 13 has been saying that Saturday should be decent, with the rain coming in overnight for Sunday.

Welcome NastyCoupe! Man, with a setup like that, why not go with a 2.3 turbo with a T-5 behind it. Do the 5 lug conversion and go disk all the way around. But, with the said setup above, you would be a force to be reckoned with.

"Street car" ??? Sounds like no fun to me....

c4 + 5000 stall + 4.10s = no driving anywhere for you......

Quite right. Coupy you should talk with some peoples before doing your fore mentioned mod lists

Hey thanks guys for all the info, When I talk about the car being a street car what I mean by that is, a car that if someone wants to run it out on the street "streetable / streetlegal" but mainly a track car. POSSIBLE 3.73 gears and a 4500 Stall. Not too sure yet. We shall see. I would love to come out and see the "meet" but I will be at work. =/ Sorry Maybe next time. Thanks again for the comments guys, Looking forward to meeting some of you.

Picking up a set of Ponie wheels tomorrow, I'm going to be painting them black and putting them on the car, they will be a good set of winter wheels while I save money for the summer/track Weld Draglites. Will post pictures most likely Monday or Tuesday..
