Put all of those pictures in the June photo contest. Your chances of winning will increase by more pictures. Take some of the engine compartment and the interior as well. Let's see lots of pictures of that beautiful beast.

All started in 2002, i bough this Mustang 69 coupe in Belgium. It's a DSO 90 (export), in fact the car was build in Belgium and sold to a football tem mmanager here, in belgium. In the late 70ies, he sold it to a man that alreadu got the same mustang (same 302 coupe, same color, etc.).

As i discovred it:

It was in pretty nice condition, but need some work to get on the road for long distance trip. So i made some modification.

Starting with renewal of the engine compartment, upgrading to a Edelbrock performer intake, edelbrock 650cfm carburator, Headmann long header, new alternator, water pump, radiator, ragulator, ... etc.

From this

to this

Welcome and you made me not want to put my car in mustang of the month.

Konrad · « **Reply #14 on:** June 03, 2009, 11:21:44 AM »

lol me too.

exxodus · « **Reply #15 on:** June 03, 2009, 02:09:39 PM »

C'mon guys... how could you be afraid of a litle belgian boy

Soaring · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2009, 03:39:56 PM »

This is a fun thing guys. There is no money or prizes involved. It's a chance to really show off our cars on the net. So, go ahead and post a ton of pictures of your ride. I guarantee nobody is going to feel bad about posting their ride's pictures. I have the ban stick handy for anyone who makes fun of another Mustanger's ride.

I'll tell you what. I have a plane Jane 1965 coupe, and I will post a bunch of pics of it. It will show the work I have done, and the work yet to be completed if you will do the same. Deal?

exxodus · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2009, 04:33:09 PM »

Your passenger side bucket seat cover corner doesn't fit. Looks like shit.

A hair dryer and some extra foam will resolve it.

exxodus · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:02:50 AM »

Airdryer > tested

Extra Foam > Need more leader, or i did already add 3cm leader under seat !

> My solution > take the seat to a PRO seat cover shop in some month.

Yeah sure. I cant take my car anywhere (mom told me I'm grounded) so i will have to post next month anyways.

Konrad · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2009, 10:38:41 AM »

I will post, I just don't expect to win, not because it's not a nice car but because it is bone stock.

Soaring · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2009, 03:57:36 PM »

Mine is too Konrad, but some people prefer really clean stock Mustangs over restomods.
