On May 29th 2014 I got this 1993 Ford Mustang LX as my new project car.
The car is in pretty decent shape for a 21 year old .
I want to keep everything I do to that car in this thread for personal reference and if one day I sell it the new owner will have tons of info about it.
Here's what I know :
Clean CarFax ( No VGA or rebuilt title ) .
Summer 2005 car had a minor accident in Montreal ( according to the carfax ) but everything else is clean.
CarFax doesn't show how many owners except renewal every years and change of ownership in 2011 with KM registered at la SAAQ of 107,000 KM .
Car has been transfer to me on May 29th 2014 at 115,000 KM.
Car has a homemade CatBack , no cats , a 3.55 gear , new hi-torque starter , welded frame connectors , Lowering Springs ( Stock OEM cut ) and that's about it.
Everything works in the car . A/C , Cruise , Door lock , electric windows , electric mirrors , electric Lombar seats , etc.
Car is born White and has been repainted ( not original White ) at one time so it is a 10 footer paint job "Good from far but far from good" + there is paint fume everywhere in the engine bay and under the motor so I have a lot of cleaning to do but I like doing that and the car is the perfect candidate for me because it is straight and absolutely rust free since the day it was made.
