1993 Mustang LX Hatch (South Carolina car)
I sold this car as a roller, and put the drivetrain into my 89 coupe.
I live up near Niagara Falls, Canada, where the winters are harsh on our vehicles. Unless you can find a vehicle that was honestly stored away during these winter months, they usually are worth nothing less than scrap. So, my search began and I found this car in 2006 from South Carolina. There were some modifications, but most have been replaced. The car had the ugly titanium interior, so that got ditched in a hurry and in went the black. The rims were replaced and new tires put on. The original owner thought that the shortblock may have given up the ghost, so I took that opportunity to replace the flimsy stock block with an FRPP R302 and fill it will goodies.
Mods include:
