General Comments:

When I purchased this car I thought it would be a potential nightmare because the way it had looked - rusty.

I decided to turn it into a small educational project to learn to take apart the motor and replace and gaskets and sensors, etc.

It was fairly easy to work on. This car is so easy to find parts for and there are so many Mustang enthusiasts for the 5.0 EFI engine that you can ask anyone how to work on them that probably owns one of these bad boys.

Not only did I take the engine apart, but I decided to learn how to mod this engine, and it was fairly easy to do also.

------------------------------------------------

Handling and steering hasn't been up to par due too bad struts.

It is fairly quick and its much much quicker than my 1984 Z28 Camaro with a 305.

This car should not be driven in any snowy conditions, obviously because its rear-wheel drive and it's a sports car and it won't stay on the road too long.

The engine bay is fairly roomy, I've heard of people dropping in a 460 C.I. motor.

The fog lights always break, time and time again.

I get 25mpg, I don't know if its because of the K&N Air Filter and the Tornado or not.

I beat on this car at least 4 times a day and it still seems to run just fine.

Faults:

Exhaust stopped up other than that NOTHING just general repairs brakes, oil changes.

General Comments:

This car is awesome. It has the 2.3 4 cyclinder in it and never quit.

Pulled a 6000 pound trailer from Bowling Green Kentucky To Texas and never missed a beat pulled it at 55 mph 12 hours a day for 3 days. Its also does pretty good pulling down mesquite trees also.

Awesome Car Get one if you can.

Faults:

Heater Core after 12 years

Transmission and rear end after stints at Road Atlanta.

General Comments:

Turbo swil heads suck, fact the you have to replace pistons to fit better heads sucks. other than that this is a solid dead reliable car, with loads of potential, one of the lighter fox bodied mustangs, and to me the prettiest as long as it is white black or grey. other colors suck. I left mine in the garage for 3 years and brought it back out and it started and drove fine, great solid car.
