December 2002 is when this 1992 LX 5.0 hatch pulled into my garage, a pretty clean one-owner car with 96,000 miles, bone stock to the air silencer. Joined Stangnet that week, I believe.
Walking inside from the ride home after picking it up, I went online and ordered a Vortech S-trim kit. From there, as many of you can relate, it all went downhill from there...
Since then, I've been through every inch of this car. Modded it as best as I could afford, and cut no corners whenever it was under the knife. Now, I have the car I dreamed of having back in 1992. H/C/I/S-trim, full bolt ons and a little suspension work are the main things, along with a nice stereo system. A streetable, quick car is what I wanted to build, and the results make me pretty happy.
Santa brought a new camera, so I figured I'd venture out and take a few pics of my car while I toyed with the zillion settings. Found my photo skills are weak, but a few shots do the car some justice (even without a proper washing!). Thought I'd share:
I'm beginning to wonder "what's next?", as this project is wrapping up for me. No major mods planned, as my cash is going elsewhere these days. Just plan to drive it and enjoy it for while.
