First off to get everyone caught up to the present day. This was the first car I bought when I was 16. 1989 lx Car came with a bone stock 302 and was all White. Soon after buying it I purchased another. 1995 gt from my brother that had a few things done. While driving this car I would start tearing down my lx for upgrades.
Worked many hours as a brick mason and not having the time to dedicate the hours needed. The engine sat open with the intake off. Moisture got into the motor and months went by and locked up the motor. Ended up having a kid and the car sat in my moms barn for 9 or so years. Started to gather parts to bring it back to life, and couldnt catch a brake to save my life. Craigslist scams, ebay junk. Paid a good friend to build me a c4 that would blow up every time I raced someone. Paid another friend to paint the car orange.
Car looked terrible. Not enough color in places, not enough clear in places. Car sat again for another 4 or so years. Had another kid Got a divorce. Met the women of my dreams who was willing to work and do what ever it took to get the car running. Bought a ford explorer engine from a local Junk yard.
.
Built a Paint booth in my garage and painted the car myelf.
