I started building my 2nd stang this weekend, I had bought a 1990 ford mustang lx (the red one) about a year ago. It had a salvage certificate, not a title. So I attempted to get a title for it but was a real pain! I wanted to sell it and had it for sell for a few weeks until I came across a 1991 gt roller for 300 dollars!! so I bought it and started to do all the transfering w my uncle this past weekend!!

Here is the car that didnt have a title!




This is the gt I bought for 300, I cleaned up the engine bay and painted it!


We pulled the engine from the lx and stuck it in the gt




after we got the engine in!!



Ive onlu got a few more things to do which is the brake booster and run the engine harness. Then shes ready to turn on!!! THhe engine we stuck has gt 40 intake, edelbrock performer heads, bbk headers, 3g alt, sn95 fan, but a factory cam, w a t5 tranny!! Shouldnt b a bad daily driver!! Just needs some slight body work and it will look great!
