Hi All,

Was last active on here back in 2008 but now I'm back!

My first Mustang was a 1991 GT that I bought in 1999 and I had added an E303, Edelbrock aluminum heads and intake manifold amongst other stuff like suspension bits from Steeda. I sold it in 2004 to fund a DSS Super Pro Bullet 347 long-block with AFR 185s and the Comp Cams XE274 camshaft amongst other things for my 1990 LX Coupe (bought in 2001). I reluctantly had to sell her in 2009, but was lucky enough to buy it back from the same guy in November 2020 who left it totally unaltered and had only put 1K miles on her. Unfortunately I put that 347 into a concrete electrical pole just 3 months later. The pole won, and she was parted out.

Now I have a 2014 GT Premium that I bought in 2018, and a mostly stock 1989 LX Coupe that I picked up last month (May 2025). They say those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And I'm totally ok with that: the 89 LX Coupe restoration & modification project has begun....

Yeah, those poles aren't very forgiving.

Here's hoping you have [way] better luck with this Fox.



Oh... And how does a [Founding Member] come in and talk all this Mustang without any pics???



Welcome back

And here's the 89 Coupe. This is a work in progress, and yes, the GT bumper is coming off and she's not staying green lol.
