Nah, it's all stock - promise!

This particular car was a 2.3L 4cyl/Auto when I got it. Here's some 'before and after' pictures:






I bought a wrecked v8/5spd car and did the full swap, everything from fuel lines to brakes, rearend, etc...and a TON of cleaning. Fun project. And CHEAP!

Lets just say that 5 of my crossfire payments will equal the amount of money I have tied up in this mustang, literally. And I only paid $16.5k for the crossfire. You do the math!

The 5 lug conversion was done using parts from a 94-95 cobra. The 4 wheel disc brakes really help over the previous disc front/drum rear. It all pretty much bolts on, which is the beauty of fox body mustangs. The 5 lug conversion allows a lot more wheel choices as well. Plus, I love the 94/95 cobra wheels (the ones on it), so I had to do it.

(don't mind the brake line laying down below the frame - I happened to be securing it that day with the correct push-plugs and didn't notice it in the pic, doh)!
