Topic: my 88 gt

[5.0gt]

still a work in progress this is mostly how i bought it  but have big plans in the works

[Soaring]

Looks really clean for a 20 year old car.  Are those the original tail lights, or are those the European style?  I really like that color.

i believe the tailights are aftermarket that were put on by the po but they say ford racing on them so i donno if the are aftermartkets made by ford or what

[Soaring]

They look like they may be sequential.  Are they?

i honestly have never looked ill let ya no

Farm boy, huh?  Nice looking corn crop.

It looks very clean for a work in progress. What are the plans for the car?

[5.0gt]

i checked the lights there are not sequential  the inner lights reverse the middles signal and the outers are brake  i was a farm boy till about 3 years ago , my dad sold out when i started college, it is very clean most of the hard work has been done by the PO  i plan on getting a new front bumper cover and fenders as mine are dented and the covers ripped, the car was keyed and the PO had the door handles shaved but the drivers side is still visible where it was, so i will do some body work and paint it the winter.  i also plan to build a 342 for it in the more distant future. this car was kinda a graduation gift to myself after i got out of college plus for $1,700 i couldn't resist it

No those aren't the original tail lights.  Those are aftermarket similar to altezza tail lights.  The original tail lights look the ones in this picture.

ok thanks for the info  i forget to mention i plan on regearing  the car asap before anything else this thing is crazy off the line but 65 @2700 isn't worth it,

Yeah, 3.55's are about as far as you can go to get anywhere near a decent gas mileage and a decent launch.  3.25's or so will get you into the decent town driving range.

do you not have the fh front bumper extension? i might have one laying around if intrested
and welcome to the site

[Bossnutt]

You might try 3.08 gears, they give good response and good mileage for around town.

i am interested in the bumper extension mine was missing when i bought it i also need to find a bumpercover as mines cracked   

[rmodel65]

ill check to make sure i have it, if you ahvent heard from me pm so i dont forget

as for the bumper cover id buy new at www.50resto.com

i pmed ya and thanks for the site i think i might get the cobra bumper and a cowl hood when i paint it this summer

[rmodel65]

the cobra bumper cover is just the stocker with an insert added. www.cervinis.com has a cool stalker bumper cover but its pricey

[Bossnutt]

Check ebay, they usually have good deals on new stuff there.  You can get alot of parts from dealers there cheaper than ordering from the dealer out of the catalog.

Very nice mustang. I like your rims matches your car. Thanks for sharing your car pics.

[5.0gt]

thank you, i have had mixed reviews about the rims. they are not normally something i would buy but i think thy fit the car to and give it a good stance. right now i am trying to  choose a color to paint it or i might do it the same color with black racing stripes but im open to suggestions
