[Pitbull1052]

so how do you like how it fits and is it an actual Saleen kit or Cervini's or ???? I'd like to see some more pics I've been considering doing the same.......

[1992MustangDW]

That car looks pretty good. PLATED does really good work

[kaik1969]

Here are some more pics. Yes it is a true Saleen kit except for the wing. I have a GT wing on it, I really don't like the Saleen wing, just my preferance.
More pics to come as soon as the weather breaks.

[Pitbull1052]

looks like it fits well........ where did you find a true saleen kit? That's what i'm worried about it that it won't fit that great

[ashnic]

Man..Chris has my GT now...This makes me more anxious then before..looks nice

[1992MustangDW]

I found it on the boards here. The pieces all have the Saleen name on them and it fits perfect. They should come with two sided tape but Chris also used some rivets to make sure they stayed on.

How about stepping back about ten feet and taking the pics? lol. Great looking car from what I can see. Plated does great work.

car looks good and i think my buddy still has his kit but not sure i can check

[kaik1969]

I know the pics didn't turn out great. I will take some more with a better camera and without the sun shinning right on it. I was trying to show how well the pieces fit together.

[Pitbull1052]

yea from what i've ready they usually get riveted in the wheel wells and two sided taped everywhere else....... and for sure id be interested if your bud has a kit to get rid of MUSTANGRFAST88

I almost wish I kept my '88 an LX now...

I was just kidding around man, sorry. I would really like to see large, all over pics tho. But the stuff lines up and fits great.

[kaik1969]

No problem. I should have done it right in the first place. I just can't decide whether or not to put all the badges back on. I kinda like it with no markings. Several "young" guys have asked me what kind of car it is. I will probably end up putting the Ford emblems back on it and leave off the 5.0 and LX. Next on the list is the clutch, then the engine.

Post up some pics of the whole car. I can't wait to show my friend, he use to own the car a few years ago. Looks great :bigthumb

[NXcoupe]

I would leave them off, just put the rear and front ford emblems on it. jmho. So what engine are you going with and clutch?

Cool. I bought it from a guy named Shawn in the summer of 07. Here is a picture of it right after I bought it.

Well as you know, It is all about how much money I want to put in it. I will probably just rebuild this engine. looking for 300 rwhp.

[Stangman]

Yeah... the LX trim on my '88... I have all GT stuff, LOL

Yeah I believe he is registered on here or maybe it was his brother. Here is a pic from when I posted it for sale for my buddy.

Wow, doesn'teven look like the same car. Just curious when this pic was taken? I bought it with the Cobra rims and the GT wing already on it. Did your buddy add these after this picture ?

It had the blue hatch and GT wing on it when my friend owned it. The guy that bought it 5 lugged it and put it back up for sale on here.

[8NO4CYL]

I looked thru all my old post and it not on there. Must have been lost during a SBZ reboot of the system. ? My guess is early '07 ?

hey cool to see you started a thread on the car:bigthumb that car has came along way from the day you dropped it off,when ever you want to drop it off for the window issue just lmk keep us posted on the progress

[kaik1969]

Thanks Chris, I think I fixed it but there is one small area right above the mirror that has a gap. I'm just afraid to bend it too much. I might stop over this week so you can look at it.

[kaik1969]

Picture of the exhaust. I think I need to do something different.
