Call me sentimental, but when I happened upon a lonely little 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 wasting away in a storage unit in Baytown, I had to rescue it. Like a little wet puppy stuck out in the rain, the car called to me to make it my own. I have fond memories of my first Mustang - also a 1989 GT - that I had more than my own share of automotive adventures in. I have decided to take this car, an ex-drag racer from the looks of it, and turn it into a HPDE track day car. I am tired of my buddys having all the fun, I am ready to turn a wheel in anger once again! I will use this blog to chronicle the events as they unfold.
About the car - Its basically a shell. It has a simple 6 point cage in it, and subframe connectors. No engine or transmission, and most everything else is gutted. Last weekend (when the pics were taken), we tried to load it into my trailer when we discovered the rear end is seized up. We couldn't get it to roll into the trailer. We tried some cheap dollies from a parts store but they broke after about 6 inches of pushing!!! Grr.. We will try again this weekend.
