that looks alot like a Mustang I seen for sale about 2 years ago had a Junk yard DIY turbo kit on it. The guy even had a short clip of it doing a pass by, was pretty rough was only reason I didnt consider buying it. Was in the portland area, not sure if thats it or not but looks like it.

yeah it has a diy kit on it and mannn it's a pile of ****. I saw a thread over on turbomustangs about it and i hope someone comes clean with it because that is the most ridiculous hack job i have ever seen. You may think im being a dick but there is duct tape holding the intercooler tubes together.......the guy bought it for 1200 bucks and it wont make boost, hahah even the firing order on the plug wires was wrong!!! durrrrr

heres the link to pics

Who really needs a down pipe or a wastegate pipe, when you can shoot flames towards the electrical stuff that keeps the car running....? LMAO Look at some of those pics!! Who would build/buy/run something like that??

You can tell it had a small engine fire at some point and they sprayed it down with a fire extingusher. You think maybe he would hose it down before the pic's? I guess it gives the car character.
