I think if I waited another week the leaves would've been gone. :lol:

This car really has come a long way from sitting abandoned behind a body shop.

Recently I put on a Cobra intake, 65mm throttle body, and a 70mm MAF.

Here's new interior pics. I decided to go back factory (almost) all grey in the interior. I also put in new carpet from ACC, and the Capri 3 spoke wheel I got from NTAHORS.

This is what it looked like in March of 2007 when me and my dad bought it for 475.00, and pulled it home with a tow rope. The only saving grace was that it was a straight, rust free California car with a clear title. It didn't have any keys though. There's a list of all the new parts on the cardomain in my sig.

Those are great cars. I used to have one and kick myself for having let someone talk me out of it.

And great pics! Thanks for sharing. The leaves make fall pics really good.

Thanks a lot everybody, I think a lot of people would have let it rot, but I knew that these cars have potential with the fox chassis and all, especially the 88+ with 225hp. Right now it's my dd, but it's getting nice enough that I gotta find a beater now. :lol:

Yeah, they're the stock 88-89 LSC wheels painted black. I was gonna polish the lips too, but I plan on a set of 96-97 Cobras so I just left them silver for now.
