Been lurking in the background for a bit, thought I'd do an intro. I purchased a '94 GT about two months back, and have been loving it.

Here it is after some special treatment since I got it.

Here is another project I've been working on for awhile, a '92 VW MKII with a complete '93 OBD-1 VR6 swap. (The VR sounds good but the 5.0 sounds better)

Here is what the Mustang looked like pretty much when I bought it:

So far the only mods I've done are a couple Super 44's lurking under the car, advanced the timing to 14 degrees running 91 pump gas, and a lot of the usual maintenance items. As from the pics you can tell it's a 4X4, I've got some Eibach Sportlines on the way to solve that issue. Also plan on gears, full exhaust (spl loudmouth, h-pipe, bbk) and the car will most likely get a re-spray in the next three months. Been contemplating forcing the motor or doing trick-flow HCI swap on it.

Looks great man welcome to the site. You come from my same old stomping grounds carwise. I had the 1st Supercharged A2 VR6 Jetta in the country (According to advanced and everyone else that told me) that I built at our shop down here in phoenix. Bought the S/C way back when ADVANCED 1st came out with the kit about 10-12 years ago. You'll like the group here much better than over there on the Vortex, good bunch of guys here. I still build dubs too, but stangs/dubs are apples and oranges and stangs win out for me. Here's some pics of the daily driver that I just finished building and just sold (Full ABA Swap, much more). Your car looks great so far keep up the nice work.




Here's a pic of our old drag car (about 13-14 years ago) ET: 11.02 @128 MPH...Unfortunately we sold it before we hit 10's with it and before all the cool fwd technology came out. Turbo ABA 16v, homemade engine management.

Thanks everyone. I've loved the VW, but this Ford is taking the VW's thunder away pretty quickly.

As far as the wheels go, they are Voxx's, through Discount Tire. 18 X 8 in the front and 18 X 9 in the rear. Fills out the arches a bit, with a nice offset of ET20, though the car really needs to be brought down a couple inches closer to the earth. Especially in this pic:

Took the car out last night to a local canyon here, to try and get some shots in. My lens sucks but you get the idea.

This one is looking north east @ the SL valley.

View attachment 380392

Here is one with the camera turned around. Kind of OT here but some may like it.



P.S. Let me know if any of you are sick of my pic whoring.

Thanks again everyone. As far as the camera goes, it's a plain old Canon Digital Rebel XTi. Here are a couple shots from last night and this evening.

Little Cottonwood Canyon, in the other Ford, 30 sec. exposure.

This evening from the back porch:

Nice pics...

I'd pimp the VW too. I have a Focus for the DD, once it gets paid off, then it'll be time to work on it.

Took a couple more pics today. There's even some of the dub. Excuse the grass, sprinklers were installed where all the yellow crap is last week.

A cool shot taken at about 10:00 @ night from the back porch. What you see again is the Salt Lake Valley.



Here's one from this afternoon, @ Albion Basin, at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon. In wintertime Alta Ski Resort dominates the scene in this foto. The summit you see is called Devil's Castle. It's a fun climb.
