My friend just bought an 89GT that only has 55K on it. The only thing it was missing was the wiring harness, so I gave him the one I took out of my car. We take the car out for a spin the other night to see how the mods are going to do. It has ported heads, E303, Holley Systemax intake, 70mm throttle body, 24 lb injectors, headers and so on. The car feels strong and we were both impressed. We returned to the garage and was looking at the engine when his g/f showed up. He shut the hood (brand new 3 inch cowl that he had about two days) and we both made sure it was latched good. He started out the road with his girlfriend and got up to about 25mph when the hood flew up. It cracked the hood but demolished the cowl panel. It looks like someone has been jumping up and down on it. That sucks. He and I both bought a set of hood pins yesterday just to make sure that never happens again.
