its a slow project but coming along. cant wait to get a garage and do my cobra brakes, and hci.
 
I have two unfortunate things to say here. I don't have a pic to upload of it for one, but the other is that I still don't have my original. Like a jackwagon, I tore it down too far to where I just got another one. Many of the parts on my current one came off my old one, so it's kind of the old car in a new body, reincarnation I guess you could say. :)
 
That's one hell of a car to drive at 16.



This is my first car, got it when I was 16 also, still sitting in the garage today 5 years later, just not running.

haha, yeah i guess. it only got worse from there, when i was into my 03 cobra just before i turned 18.

if your not stupid with it, you can drive anything.
 
I bought this by chance for $1,800.

The name "MUSTANG" is badass when you are 16. I knew NOTHING about cars, not even the difference between a 4 cylinder and a V8. Sadly this car was a 2.3 auto that puked its auto on the way home. $1600, and a week later, I was able to drive the car. I saw a 5.0 or two around town, and damn did they look and sound awesome. I started browsing the readers riders here. I picked up a 5.0 magazine, and saw an article about an event called FFW coming to Cordova, IL in August. At the time, it was January. I told me friend right there, I would drive a 5.0 to FFW.

Here's my 89 parked at FFW, still with the temp tags in the window.

Picked it up off the original owner, 78,920 miles, 100% stock except an aftermarket cassette deck. $4,250 was the price. I worked 2 jobs that summer to save the money. Still to this day, my 89 means more to me than any other car I've ever had.

Oh, and at that FFW, I also picked up this.

Now i've got to dig up a picture of my 83 Gt hatch w/ T-tops. Dark maroon w/ racing stripes. Bought it for $400 dollars when i was 14 and worked and worked on that thing w/ my pops. It wasn't a show car when we were done, but was still one helluva great looking car for a 16 year old to be tearing up :) miss that car.
