Newbie with 93 mustang 5.0 coupe from Longview TX.

[Jared Jackson]

Hey guys n gals, my name is Jared.. I just purchased my first 5.0 coupe yesterday... and i am eager to dig into the car and get it up and running.. I was previously into modding gm trucks.. lifted and street.. I still have my trucks.. and even my gas sipper geo tracker... but i have had a soft spot for fox body stangs since i was 16

I bought it from a kid who got financially over his head.. and before that someone had wrecked it and rigged it back together..

There are wires and vaccuum lines that i have no CLUE where they go at the moment! lol

I plan on just pulling out the engine and transmission.. overhauling them.. cleaning up the wiring and systems screwed up by the previous owners, and attempting to put it back together.. smog pump and ac delete kits.. its going to be a weekend warrior

I do give props to the guy i bought it from.. he put alot of work into it..

It is a 93 Mustang Coupe.. but it is in shambles.. there are fluids leaking from every orifice.. turn signals wont work, fuel pump wont stop priming, engine idles around 1300 rpm, it shifts out at 35oo rpm full throttle, and its missing alot of factory parts, this thing is a complete mess... but i hope with some time and money and advice from you guys... i can get her back to tip top shape.. here are a few pictures of what it looks like right now..

the only things i have done so far is take the factory air box out and attach a cheap filter... the air box doesnt seal and the filter gets wet...

changed the oil.. cap and rotor... thats it... i have only owned it for one day

Thanks bud! If you crawled under it with me last night and saw the underside... You wouldnt think it looked nice... Lol

But every project has its start.. Im doing a compression test soon to figure out how far i need to dig into the motor once its pulled

you must have just got this i think its one i looked at on craigslist for parts but it is automatic so not what i was looking for. i am new to this site but have owned dozens of mustangs in a few short years and i can honestly say... be patient. i miss every one i have ever owned and sold so the one i got now will be my casket. good luck with your build and remember. patience

 

[Jared Jackson]

Patience is tough lol

You just want to get her driving and perfect and its a long ways away...
Trying!

Thanks for the advice bud... Im doing everything i can to make her the best i can
