1992 Mustang lx coupe

[fastfox619]

Here is my 92 mustang lx coupe 4 banger with 2.3L and the A4LD auto trans with calypso green paint exterior and originally titanium grey interior. But swapped it out in favor of black sport interior. Clear on the outside is flaking all over, especially on the hood, roof and trunk areas. It looks much better after washing it and in the evening. It also has some rare Roh wheels on it, that I finally acquired after a long wait.

Here's old pics of titanium grey interior. It was actually in nice shape. But...love black interior.

And here's the current interior, black tweed sport seats up front and back.

This is how I found her, abandoned and forgotten on the side of a house.

So whats the story on that find..was it up for sale

 

[fastfox619]

I saw her on Craigslist and immediately jumped on it and called to find out if I could go look at it. Voicemail...so I try again and guy picks up n says that tomorrow would be better. So I tell him that I have cash in hand and he changes his mind. I get there and it looks like its been neglected with a window cracked open to let the elements do their damage. Didn't run at all, he'd been told was timing belt replacement that needed replacement. It didn't really matter, as I would convert it into a 5.0. Luckily it wasn't bad inside, exterior had been beaten pretty good by sun n rain. I looked it over and didn't think twice. Ever since I saw calypso coupes notchback I fell in love with the color. So twenty minutes later I'm loading her up on her way to her new home. I tried to get her running, tried many things. Finally a compression test told me the motor was done. So it sat for a while, until a found a 4 banger 93 foxbody vert for a steal and the bonus was that it had BLACK interior. Which then couldn't pass up, so Phil and I went to testdrive it and took it home. Initially the plan was to swap interiors, but went ahead and swapped the running 4 banger into my calypso coupe. The plan then changed to keep it a 4 banger and daily drive it. But now the time has come to convert it into a 5.0, its in the cards now with the 89 gt becoming a donor car.

Motorsport cluster won't work Car is a '92 and cluster/speedo only fits '87-'89

Haven't had any updates, gathering parts here and there. Picked up this saleen/vortech intake. This will be going on the calypso coupe and the gt40 tubular will come off to go onto the 89 coupe(daily driver).
