Well got the car home

[martyd]

I went am got my ssp yesterday. it was a 8 hour round trip and on the 4 hour trip back that the LX got drove it did great. I do have a good bit of body work to do, the passenger fender is dammaged but the car came with a replacement, other than that my main problems are with the clearcoat pealing. It really makes the car look alot worse off than it actually is. There is one spot of rust on it on the drivers right between the drivers door and rear wheel well but it is below where the trim is so I think it will be fairly easy to re-sheet metal that small part.

The car averaged allmost 29mpg on the way up here and drives absolutly great, the rigged exhaust on the car is choking it but at $1400 I think I go a great deal. The interior is in decent shape but I do plan on getting some front seats for it. All around I am very happy with the buy. It is going to require some work but I would not have gotten it if that is not what I wanted to do in the first place.

I guees it's now official, I am apart of the Mustang and Fox Body family now, I will try to get pics up later today.

I love the way it drives, it is very very tight for a car it's age. Dont use any oil, and has a big fun factor. I do have to say despite the power difference of my old LT1 the car is alot more fun to drive. The feel, the ride, the power all feel right at home
