Pics of my new DD!

Here it is, my beloved 91 LX with 100,000 adult driven miles. The only mods are a Flowmaster Cat Back, Hurst shifter, I put a tri ax handle and the 03 Cobra knob on today, and my old headlights from my 89 GT. I had them lying around so I said why not. The car drives like a dream. This one is staying the way it is (save for paint after I finish my 88) until I pay the loan off I got to buy her. I'll eventually get some B springs for it and do a nice shock/strut combo and if I ever do gears they are only gonna be 3.27's. I'm only gonna crack the motor open if I have to and a stock clutch and quadrant is always gonna be in it. I don't even know if i want to take the air silencer, I'm afraid to touch it!!! The plug wires are original and say "1991" on them. They are getting replaced by blue Ford Racing ones I have lying around. The interior is mint and is the best part of the car I think. The ashtray door works, the center console latch works, the map light works, the under hood light works. I waxed the front end real quick but i ran out of time cause I'm going to Atlantic City with my buddies tonight. Anyway, here are the pics!

This is how it looked when I first brought it into the shop

I don't think I've ever seen the inside of a valve cover be this clean.

They are way better than the faded stock ones. I think down the road I'll get a nice set of OEM's with clear corners.

Looks great man. The interior looks awesome, even a working ashtray door .

Nice grab Jesse, should be easier to work on and keep running than the SHO.

I don't think I have ever seen on that stock. Looks real clean, how much did it run ya?

A nice high speed buff and clay bar job would do wonders to that car.

No potential to be realized here...it is staying a stock daily driver at least for the forseeable future. I am ridiculously jealous because this is the EXACT car I am looking for right now. Look for his progress thread, he is building a crazy nice 88 T-Top car...so no big reason to mess with this one...at least right now.

Of course, as we know, these cars don't stay stock...it is only a matter of time.

Eh, it looks better in pictures than it really is. There's alot of acid rain spots. To make it look really good, it would need a wet sand and buff and I really don't wanna spend the time doing that. I'd rather just wait and repaint it.

I just got back from AC and this thing did great. Had four people stuffed in it and it got about 24-26 mpg. I'm not touching ANYTHING on it. Its too perfect to start tearing into it. Thanks for the comments

BTW, the guy wanted 4500 but I talked him down to 4000. I think it was a real good deal.

And Brian, your definatly right, this thing is gonna be WAAAAY easier to maintain than the SHO. I actually think I just sold that heap to some SHO nut for 500 bucks, hello cobra wing and rear bumper for the 88!!

nice jesse, good buy! hows it feel to finally drive a 5.0 again? lol.
