Hi,
I have a 1989 5.0 Mustang. I've had it for 1 1/2 yeras and I Love it !
It has quit a few modifications, and I fantisize about others I will do in the future.
I was in one show with it, at the Queen Mary a couple months ago,
was fun seeing over 300 other Mustangs there !
They are a dream to drive.
Part of why I got it is to keep as an investment, watching it's value go up over the years.
I will load a picture of it, would be fun to see everybodies 5.0.
All the Best !!!******

I also had quite a few things done to my GT.

I was setting up for a blower but never exactly got to it. Had to sell because 2 sandbags in the trunk werent working for the winters anymore, it was quickly becoming my daily driver when my "beater" was dieing..
Whats your main goal for the mustang?
Is it a daily driven car?

Yes it is my daily driver.
Im disabled and home most of the time, so I get out in it for a bit 3 - 4 times a week.
Love it.
Goal...heads, cam, larger throtlebody, Cobra manifold and ram air.
Lower it a bit with racing springs and add the extra suspension bars in the back.
Tiny amount of body work, the repaint black.
A bit of re-apolstering in the back hatch area, the floor carpet.
I lean toward road race instead of strip, but love both.
You going to get another one ?

Well, that is so great for you. We don't have a Mustang. I think it is a great car and maybe someday we'll have one.
