I think mud flaps looks good on an LX. I have them on my car and see no reason to take them off. They keep all the crud out of my wheel wells.
I went to Craig's work and saw the car in person tonight. It is in great shape! He really got a good deal. My friend doesn't believe he paid only $3,500 for it, x-4cyl or not!

Well the front mud flaps have to come off, since they are rubbing when the wheel is turned lock to lock against the tire. I plan on eventually swapping the motor from my GT along with the rear axle and other parts into the notch. I am not 100% sure, but I may sell my GT to my room mate. He's totally getting into Mustangs cause of me, and since he is my girlfriends brother, I know the car will stay in the family and be in good hands. Oh and thanks for stopping by tonight Chris to check it out.

I know the GT means alot to you but...if you did sell it like you said it wouldnt go anywhere too far. Also would be a nice first mustang for an older more responsible driver and not some I just got my license I am god kid. Also...you could go with the EFI Victor 5.0 upper/lower, and Vic Jr heads all from Edelbrock, then run the .574/.595 236/248 @.050 Track Heat Trick Flow hydro roller cam, 1.6 Comp Pro Mag rr's. Would have to get some nice pistons then, the Sterling pistons are nice and only around $200, best hyper pistons made. 4.10's with a T10 or GF/T5 and Centerforce dual friction clutch to launch into your max torque range without slipping. Be one badass car... :). Turn some great times being that lightweight, with probably 450+rwhp depending on compression and stuff. I was gonna build a fuel injected engine pretty close to what I suggested to you I just didnt know what lb injectors and how big of a tb and mass ect.

The clutch he has now definitally is not stock. It feels exactly like my friend's, and he has a centerforce df.

Yeah thanks for the call telling me you got it home! I'm glad you got it even without me driving it. And I knew he'd let it go for that much after what you told me he said about so many people looking at it, but being scared away by the conversion. If you need any lessons, you know who to ask! lol When we takin it to the track?

Here's a couple more pics after I swap wheels and threw the black outs on. I thyink I am going to swap rear ends from my GT to the coupe later this week. This car is really screaming for some gears. 2.73's just are not cutting it!

The difference was incredible when I went from 2.73's to 3.73's. When I had my old GT AOD, I also went from 2.73's to 3.73's and was a bit dissapointed when I think about it. I should have gone with 4.10's because of the AOD, but 3.73's is plenty of gear for a 5spd!!! Any more gear in my LX and I think it would be kind of unstreetable. 1st gear is already pretty damn short with my 3.73's. Takes some getting use to.

well i do look foward to it, cuase it sucks paying the gas penalty of have a 5.0 but not really have the speed benifit

Speed oh ya
Gas prices do suck though especially for the V8(but its to fun to quit driving)

Oh yeah Chris, I know what you mean. My buddy Matt and I just swapped rears from my GT to the coupe. 2.73's to 3.73's and the difference is soo amazing! Like you said, it was not as noticable in my AOD, but with a 5 spd it makes a world of difference. I'll be posting pics soon of the swap for everyone to see.
