It's been a while, but once again, the '89 sees the light of day. In October, we ripped off the Novi blower, and tore the engine down to the shortblock. Looking at the engine at the time was quite depressing. I thought to myself "we should have just left it alone..........low mileage, excellent body, what the hell are we doing". It was discouraging to think that what was once a well-running stock machine would never be the same. Well folks, it isn't the same. However, I say that proudly. True, the car was all original, but I'm a firm believer in the fact that you must personalize your car and make it YOURS. If a car isn't unique, then what the hell do you have anyway? With the popularity of the Fox-platform Mustangs, it's difficult to drive around the block without seeing at least one. You're hard-pressed to drive for half an hour and not see more than two. So, when I see those cars, I wanna look at mine and see something different. I realize this isn't a 1950 Ford. I can't french my headlights, and chopping the top isn't quite gonna work on this car, LOL. I have more plans, but haven't been able to finish them all yet. I'm trying to do as much as I can to set the car apart from the hundreds of thousands of other white convertible Mustangs, and while the transformation is slow and costly, it's definitely working. And was it worth it? To me, hell yeah it was worth it. Call me crazy, but I'd rather have a Mustang personalized to my taste over an "all original", bone stock, concours type Mustang. I'd much rather turn the car into what I want it to be, rather than trying to please a car show judge. Anyhow, the pictures of the car in its current state are below. Enjoy, till we meet again!
