thanks guys. It was a lot of hard work deff way more than if it was a 87 and up but way more worth it in the end. I was/am on a pretty tight budget on the car ive been lucky finding deals on everything so far and I have traded a lot of parts for parts along the road i added it up but i was right around 4 grand spent.

Hell yeah, that car is bad ass... handles more legit than any mustang I have driven... with the 275 RA1s on all corners...

and that red GT in the background... looks like it could be a terminator killer :loser:
