Thought I'd share some recent pics of my 93.

It's got the original 7.5 with 3.73's but now has a locking unit in it. Seats are out of a 94-98 V6 Mustang. It has new carpet, new headliner, new door seals, new sunroof seals, new headlights, new shift bezel, boot and knob. All the gauges work, both on the dash and under the radio. I'm thrilled it's all done, but a little depressed because now I don't have anything to piddle with. Future plans call for a FMIC and a 3" exhaust. I'm driving and enjoying it every day, even in this record heat. Love that A/C!!

Looks great.
That's what my 92 Hatch will look like when I am done. Black and simple except I have pony wheels.

Thanks black. Yeah I was going for a "came from the factory that way" look. I'll never understand why Ford offered only a 225 hp V8 or a weak 88/105 hp 4 cylinder for the 87-93 Mustang with no option in between. My car as it sits should have been offered as an option!

Post up some pics of your 92 when you get her looking like you want.

Looking like at least 6 months. Especially if this freaking heat keeps up. We have been well over 100* all week. This fella is not working out in the barn when it's anywhere near that hot.

Here is my project thread if interested.

Ok, I'm putting 2 and 2 together. I've been watching your progress. Actually I've looked at your side view in trying to figure out if I want to do a pinstripe or not. I've thought about going with the 87-89 look and adding a silver tape stripe to the side mouldings.

I know what you mean about the heat. I completed my project last June-August in my in-laws metal building. It was more like an oven!! I had zero help, but it was a great experience.

But yeah, keep up the good work on yours!

Once it's repainted I will be doing a darker grey pinstripe instead of a white like I have pictured. A little less of a contrast.

That picture was actually a Macco paint job. I was 16 and did not have much money. There was no rust no damage just a faded hood. Cost me $400 out the door and when I went to pick it up the pinstripe was on there.
Paint held up very nicely for over 6 years. With lots of washing and 2 waxes a year.

like ford should have had them 2.3T option. its super clean

Looks a whole helluva lot cleaner than my 93 coupe. Mine is so beat up I might try finding a cleaner shell to put my turbo engine in but clean coupes are hard to find and when I do find them they want a small fortune for it

Sweet build I'm doing something similar keep up the nice work I will be watching this thread .

My soon to be 91 coupe is arrest me red with phone dials it's a 2.3 na car with a T5 till I get the turbo motor freshened up . I have a WC T5 for it and am collecting a few other goodies as well .
