I've been working on cars since I was 5 and grew up working on nothing but fords and loving mustangs. Got several projects back home sitting around since I spend all my time in AZ, including an '84 LTD (thus my screenname) '83 LTD, '89 Hatch, and '89 coupe. The '84 LTD was my first car and for those of you unfamiliar with it, it is the smaller version of the big boat of a car you're used to based on the fox chassis. Needless to say I've got a full mustang suspension under it, an 8.8 rearend, mustang turbine wheels, and a whole lot more planned for it. (Pretty fun little sleeper..... will be even more fun after the 5.0/5-speed transplant!)
Anyway, I've got a '91 GT Hatch that I actually just put a motor in 3 weeks ago right before making the 1200 mile trip out here. Kid I bought it from ran it through high water (during the insane rainfall we got in July) and sucked up a god awful amount of water into the poor motor. I bought a wrecked '88 GT conv for $850 and robbed the 49k mile engine outa that and stuffed it in the '91 after putting all new gaskets and replacing anything wrong I could find.... new clutch, pressure plate, etc... Less than a week after getting the motor in it made a 1200 mile trip and was smooth sailing the whole way. Aside from fixing a few more poor abused pieces of the car it runs damn well for something a 17 year old kid beat the crap out of.
I'm Jen, look forward to meeting some of you guys!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen your blue Mach around a handful of times in the past few years. Those are so much fun to drive! Originally Posted by Olivas
