Welp, I finally got some decent pictures of my grocery getter. Big ups to HISSIN5.0 and Michael Yount for helping me along the way. Finally got it running the way I want it too. It is not a Saleen, guy I bought it from had the stickers on it already. The front bumper was just sanded recently as I'm getting ready to paint it, the stickers will be coming off then.

Front end, as you can see the bumper, got some headlights on the way.


Side view of the car...


Interior shot...


Another interior shot...


Shot of the engine, as you can see most of the common bolt ons.


Custom amp and sub work I just finished recently...


Fan install I just finished recently, HISSIN.


Last but not least, shot from the 6.


There it is, just wanted to show the people that've been helping me out a shot of the car. Thanks for any questions, comments.

Justin.

Justin, that thing is sick! i love it - you and i have similar taste - were i to own your car, i would not change anything.

that thing is amazingly clean inside and out (it looks better than when it rolled off the showroom floor). beautiful. you've dumped some coin into it and it shows.

I'm very glad you posted pics - always nice to put a car to a name!

nice work on the amp and sub too.

are you gonna touch up the front facia or repaint the whole car? the paint looks great, so i assume the former.

very nice!

Nice job Justin - like 89GX I also especially like the wheels. Now, we've just got to collect some donations so we can help you buy some real ignition wiring looms....

Thanks for all the replys guys, I really do appreciate your thoughts. Yes, I need some wiring looms the zip ties just aren't cutting it. And if you look closely enough I've got one spark plug wire that doesn't match the rest, it melted on the header. I got a new set coming, I'll get some looms too.

Justin - I'll make a contribution if you don't mind the color. Send me your full name/mailing address and I'll send you enough Ford Motorsport looms to do it properly. Cost is free. However - they're red. Actually, since the car's red, that might not look bad...

Excellent job, I really like what you did with the stereo!! A couple of ??How did you splice in your A/F Ratio gauge and what did you do to get the sub and amp sunk down
