They ruined a good mustang!!
Did anyone watch MONSTER GARAGE Monday night? They turned a perfectly good '87GT vert into an overgrown lawn mower!!
Now why couldn't they have found a rice mobile or old an Camaro for that crap? For those of you who didn't see it, they mounted a large deck mower where the gas tank used to be(relocated to back seat area) and two push mower blades to the inside of each door. I wish the only problem I had to worry about was how to turn a car into a lawn mower! Some people have waaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.

I think it would be fun to mow my lawn on a fox body

I missed that episode, but I heard all about it. I don't think it's a waste of a Mustang though. If I had alot of money I'd probably do the same thing. It's be pretty cool mowing the grass in a 'stang. I know I'd get the job done alot quicker. hehehe
I was watching it yesterday and then turned a '87 Porsche 944 (I believe) into a Golf Ball Retriever, it was pretty cool looking. I can't remember there budget but it wasn't that much, and the car came out pretty nice. §am.

Thats right. I forgot to watch that episode yet another time. I'm going to catch it one of these days.
I think it is pretty cool from what I have seen. Its not like you can't find beat up vert foxes anymore if you wanted one for yourself.

Yeah I saw that episode. Its pretty cool actually, they really put a nice paintjob on it, a little ghetto though, even more with the gold hundered-spokes. Ive seen some pretty wild stuff on that show, like a school bus turned into a pontoon boat! That Jesse James does build some sweet bikes, I saw one where he molded 2 nitrous bottles onto the outside of the gas tank, sounded sweet when he juiced it!

i dunno, yes it was a relatively clean 90 fox, but it was an auto too, so.. not to sacreligious to create somthin kooler. theres not much you can do aside from puttin in a 5-spd or beefing up the auto... plus who knows how many miles were on the car before they got a hold of it. the green pearl paint job fit the motif nicely i thought, (green turf). an the hundred spokes "bling bling" wheels were a little tacky, but i thought it wasn't too bad, he could have put a fugly body kit on it, or (eeech.. silver wheel well lip moldings for that oh so chic "getto fabuluos effect" so the gold kinda fit the scheme;the car bein strictly for jaw dropping "wow" effect an primarily eye candy already.. plus they were free..free always beats anything especially the headaches of replacin 3 starters, an tracking down the combine inshipping. $600- the budget for ponys or cobra R's + the 800 for tires.. i beleive they did it with like 5.95 left in the budget.. so i think they did a pretty bitchin job.
i've got an idea for theire next project.. turn a camaro into a paperweight or a Honda into a challenge..
