Been a long time since I have posted any pics of my rides.

Here are some up to date pics.


First my pride and joy - 1986 Mercury Capri 5.0 T-Top













Next is the 1988 Mustang GT I picked up for my wife







I have a stock radio back in now.






and my newly acquired 1985 Mustang GT Vert, which needs a bit of TLC even though it doesn't look like it.

Thanks guys!

Yeah I am loving the Snypers now too Tom, thanks!
I wasn't sure if I was going to at first as I have a serious issue with not knowing what wheels I want but these work for me. I love them now.

Beautiful cars! I bet Mr. Aspell never thought he'd be the backdrop for a Mustang forum pic in the afterlife...

I've always loved that Capri, and those old ROHs are perfect on it. Very mean looking car.

Don't know how you've resisted the temptation to modify the motor, though!

That temptation is here, and the motor in the vert might find its way to my capri come spring time.

Yeah, the hard edges on the wheel really go with the body lines. Much better looking than your last set of wheels

That is a nice collection! Like the colors of the intakes on the 88 and Capri.

Was that you that had your wife pose on the 88 earlier this year? I dont think it was.
