Default Sold my LX =(

In memory of...

Well guys, I finally did it. I broke down and sold my 90 LX hatch. It was a hard thing to do with all the time and money I put into that car, but it was time to move on I guess.

It started with a few parts being sold here and there, then a kid stopped by and wanted to buy the car. He was a local kid who wrecked his Stang a week or so ago and I kinda felt sorry for him and gave him a pretty good deal on the shell with my Koni struts and shocks still on it. He's also letting me pull the rest of the parts I want to keep in his garage in trade for helping him get it back on the road with parts from his wrecked Stang.

The good thing is he's a die hard Mustang nut like myself and promises to get her back on the road soon.

Plus the money I made is helping me get all the parts I need for my Notch. The only major things I still need is a good tranny, a stroker kit, and a paint job. I have most of the money for the engine kit, the rest will come in time.

I'm not getting in a hurry on this car like I did with my hatch. It's getting the full smoothing treatment in the engine bay so it'll be free of excess holes and painted to match the car. After that the 410 (or maybe 418) stroker will be dropped in then it's on to the roll cage, torque boxes, sub-frames, etc. After that it's going to get a deep coat of Mineral Gray from the new Ford Mustang lineup with two layers of varying color pearl ghost flames.

It's going to be a jaw dropper/neck snapper
