Cool Just bought 88 2.3 T-5 Notch parts car !!!!!

The guy was asking $150. I had a good feeling when he mentioned how bad the front tires were, since it was a notchback with a grey interior it was worth the drive up to Bow NH from my work in Nashua. As we drove up to it, I noticed the good hood and headlights and said to myself "sold"
Int is in good shape, has a good grey drivers seat which I need. No dents rusty pass fender decklid and around the rear 1/4 good doors, power windows mirrors and locks. I almost burst in laughter when I found out it has 86 K miles and starts right up has good exhaust etc...

So much for the idea of striping it down, it runs and drives too good. I will swap the better parts over to the 90 and re install the other stuff.

What stuff does interchange between the 2.3 and 5.0 cars?? I would have to imagine the T-5 is weaker?? It works just fine for the short drive I did. This is just too funny, now I have 5 cars, gotta get rid of 2 now.

Anyone else have a 4 cyl version?? Maybe I'll paint it black and get another set of 10 holes, make a pair of twins
