i didnt know i could lift it on my stock suspension, i did it 2 times i got a better pic somewhere. that was my first auto x last month at cumberland.

the car getting sold to me was my dads choice, i needed a car and i wanted a mustang, but he was about to buy a 996 and didnt want to sell the 87 so he proposed i buy it from him for 10grand i said ok, then as a graduation gift he said knock 4 grand off and i was set. i couldnt pass the deal and though i was close to selling the car a couple times ive decided to keep it and im happy every day i made that choice.

the car is pretty stock i just got a new clutch, and have done a few odds and ends things the bigest was putting a fab speed cat bypass and pre muffler by pass on it.

thanks for the warm invite
Eric

Actually, I think the car leans like that driving straight, too, which is why it was such a good deal. Dad can't wipe that smile off his face for getting rid of the car!
