1993 Mustang LX 5.0 convertible

[blue504life]

so about a month ago i bought a 93 LX vert from my brother. car has 60k original miles and restored from top to bottom. so today i picked up a 92 GT vert kit and begain to start the lx conversion.

here my 1:1 vert to show what im shooting for

rear quick info on car.

color is bright calypso green, gray GT high back seats, stylin bar, valve covers and pullys color matched

so anyway heres my kit so far

stylin bar came from a 98 Saleen S281 kit i had laying around might have to raise it to make it look right

as you can see i have a long way to go, might paint the wheels white tomorrow just to get the feel of the car, only thing im really missing is LX front bumper and LX tail lights. so if any one has LX parts please let me know

im going to try to update this as much as i can i am no where near the best modeler but i do try

questions/ comments welcome

so thanks for looking

Why would a car with only 60K need to be restored?

Thanks kruleworld

Why would a car with only 60K need to be restored?

The car has had a few owners one wanted to drag race it so it had a crazy motor and rear end in it. That was removed to put stock stuff in it. Car needed bumper covers too the. Caught some hail damage so new paint was a must. Stock suspension was getting worn out so all that was swapped to new stuff with OEM thunderbird super coupe lowering springs. Interior was changed to stuff that was in better shape. So basicly it's a new old car that I now daily drive.

I'll happily answer anymore questions

It just seemed like low mileage to need a resto.

It kinda is but lacking proper care, cover, stripe to drag race and so on. Plus it being 80s tech even the 0 mile foxbodies need this done sooner or later

Thank you for the info, where did you find it? I searched the site and found nothing. I for one never received what I ordered from them (it was foxbody pieces) so would rather not buy from them but I may have to once I get in over my head
