Yet Another Newbie From MA :-)
Permalink  

What up, names Kevin, I'm from Hudson MA. I Own a 1988 Ford Mustang 5.0 LX Hatch. Not a whole lot of mods done to it, but here's a list.

BBK CAI in Fender
FlowMaster 40 Series Mufflers
Stock H-Pipe with Cats
3in Cowl Hood with Hood Pins
Autometer Tach With Shift Light
Oil Pressure Gauge, Temp, and Volt Meter gauge.
World Class T5-OD Tranny
3:73 Gears
Pioneer Cd Deck and 10in subs
Kenwood 800watt amp
Pionner 6x9's in the back and rockford fosgate tweets on the dash and rockfords on the doors

That's all I can think of off the top of my head... I've had her for 2yrs. I got it dirt cheap off my friend for 1200 so I went for it... Over the 2yrs I've been fixing her up a bit, what I've replaced so far is the Valve cover gaskets, Fuel Injector O rings, Alternator, Starter, Starter Solinoid, 5-speed tranny, UPR 3 Hook Clutch Quadrant, Belt, Water pump, Automatic Belt tentioner, PolyUrathain Motor mounts and tranny mounts, and the list goes on... So yeah it's been a pretty busy 2 years for me.. Come Tax season I want to dump some more cash into her and add some more bolt on's.. Like the site, I found this site thru Jim I believe from another forum that I go on, and checked this place out and it seems pretty cool, and hope to meet some of you in the future. Glad to see some MA people into Mustangs.

That's true brother ya can't go wrong... LOL... Maybe someday I'll do a 5 lug swap but that's the least thing I'm concerned about at the moment.. I want to get her in machanically running good condition before I do anything else.. I passed my Safety Inspection today, but come next year for emissions it won't pass so when I do my taxes next January, I'm thinking of dropping in 2 grand into her and fix what ever is wrong with the emissions system and get a new 5 speed tranny. But for now, I'll drive it as is til the tranny dies on me. biggrin.gif

You talking about Heberts on Rt20 right? If so what time you going... I might be able to make it, depends on my stang, it's having tranny issues but I'll let you know.... I'm ususally at Wendys in Marlboro Rt 20 chilling there every Sunday night with the rest of the crew.

Thanks for the kind words.. I appreciate that. Nah I think I'm gonna leave my emissions shit in, just because it would be a pain in the ass to find someone to pass me for emissions, and If I did I'd probably have to drive far to get a sticker anyways and that would be a burden on me.... LOL

Thanks guy's and Galz, for the Welcome and comments... The stang is an never ending project, but anyone with a stang knows the deal with that.. LOL Can't wait for tax season so I can drop some $$$ into her as I have lack of funds to buy the stuff I want for her now, I gotta wait, but it'll get there... smile.gif
