4th time a charm?

[Foxxx5oh]

looks like ill find out one way or another! lol

last week, after a little trading, i got brought home by a 1993 LX and it decided to stay! right now it has a few small mods, king cobra clutch, underdrives, K&N, MAC catback, Ford Racing wires, MSD cap and rotor, ROH ZR6 wheels, and hopefully more to come in the near future. she's got 64XXX miles, all black interior, and a loose nut behind the wheel...i have a couple pics to tease with, but ill be taking more soon when i give her a good bath.

[Tuned200]

Nice find, body looks clean!!!

[Stangman]

That second picture is really good... minus the extension cord

[Blackpony]

Looks clean good find.

[Foxxx5oh]

That second picture is really good... minus the extension cord


thank you :D

lol, the extension cord runs to the battery maintainer on my dads 72 Gran Torino, but the picture i took from the roof outside my window :) i love gettin pictures from there

and overall, she's pretty clean, the only rust on the body is on the drivers side quarter at the top of the wheel well, but it shouldnt be too bad to fix, and it needs a new hatch too, but aside from that, the doors are perfect and the black interior is all there minus the front seats (they are extremely faded black/red buckets from a capri) and the ashtray door still works like it should too ;)

[Stangman]

Ya need a drivers door panel remember? lol

Hey lemme see that '72 G/T!!

Nice!! That hood scoop is growing on me. The more I look at it, the less gaudy it looks. Must see it in person. LOL

[Foxxx5oh]

update! shorties and an x pipe will be going on this weekend! and i may have a clean hatch for her too :D

anyone have a drivers side black door panel and the inner trim for the mirrors? hopefully seats will be comin too very soon...

[leroy93lx]

SVO side spats look cool! I didnt mind the Capri hatch though.....

[Stangman]

Wow that is a nice Gran Torino! I love the laser stripes on the one in the movie though.

[Foxxx5oh]

update! the headers and x are on! found out that the stock "headers" were BARELY making contact with the H pipe and there were so many holes in the H it wasnt funny...coming next will be poly motor mounts to get the steering off the header and a new front swaybar endlink. hopefully ill have time to mod an intake the way i want to and get a short throw...but thats later

[92coupe]

Wow that is a nice Gran Torino! I love the laser stripes on the one in the movie though.

I used to have a 72 yellow with the laser stripes. It had alluminum slots, big and littles, black interior, tinted windows. Man i loved tat car.

[Foxxx5oh]

UPDATE!! she is now shifting easier thanks to the Pro 5.0 shifter i got from USMCPONY, and im awaiting paint matching and a rust free hatch so i can put on the Saleen wing i got from him too!!

[Foxxx5oh]

well, she turned over 67K last night, and i have a couple pics that turned out pretty good minus the snow an shit :-/

[Timido]

That little bit of paint on the bottom of the car makes a big difference in the way that car looks.

[Foxxx5oh]

thats what i was thinkin, its amazing how just a little rattle can paint on a nice day can brighten someones mood and make their car look 100x better

[chris91]

Spotted you on 125 towards Amelia today. Doesnt look too bad man. Definitely a nice start!:bigthumb

[USMCPONY]

[Foxxx5oh]

[wildstang89]

Glad to donate a piece of history to ya! Car is looking better each time I see it. :bigthumb

[92coupe]

Put the rest of the gt ground effects on and paint the car black with some welds and it would look like Vinny's car.

[DeckerEnt]

I am going to have to donate a can of shiny stuff for the tires. Other than that, Car looks Killer. Congrats on the progress!!!!

[Foxxx5oh]

the thought has crossed my mind on numerous occasions, but i know that even with the looks, i could never build her to have as much character as Vinny's car had when it was all black. i hope he is happy when he looks down and sees what she becomes after paint :)

[Foxxx5oh]

time to get the hands a lil dirty on my off day...hoping to get the Sportlines and the smog pump eliminator on this afternoon! progress is a wonderful thing...

[Walter]

Get that hatch/wing painted too.

[Foxxx5oh]

its in the works, but before i paint anything im going to need a rust free hatch cause this one is pretty hit...but all in due time...

[Foxxx5oh]

uh oh...looks like someone is gonna have to watch out for speed bumps now LOL

finally got the sportlines on, i am soooo EXTREMELY happy i got off my ass to put em in...

the drivers side rear spring...yeah...snapped...thats why it looks so low in my sig...i figured i was a lard ass...

im so glad i havent gone to the track yet...that coulda been bad...

ok so on with the pics...

better pics when she settles more.

[1992MustangDW]
