The too true story of our too blue
Mustang II
Let me start off by telling you a little about the car. We bought the car from a friend of my husbands for $200 in 93. It was my first car and in it I learned how to drive a stick shift. It was in poor condition and was a daily driver to the machine shop where the prevoious owner worked. It had the ugly cheap rims that had rusted and  original upholstery. While we owned it we rebuilt the motor, replaced the brakes, upholstery, repainted it, added a sunroof, tinted the windows, added air shocks, put a cd player and a great system in, found the aluminum mag style rims with running poney center caps, the only thing we didn't replace was the transmission. We sold  the car in 97 when our son was born. It was around christmas  time and we didn't have much money and it was too hard for me to get my son in and out of the car. We thought the people that wanted to buy it would take  care of it as it was a gift to their son as a first car.  As it turns out they didn't.  I always regreted selling the  car and said I would buy it back .....if I had the chance. Well, about 5 months ago (july 2000) one of my husbands friends told him that our mustang was on a car lot for sale, but the price on the windshield was $1000. Well,I wasn't going to pay more for it than what I sold it for, $850 in good shape, with the cd player still in it. When we went to look at the car (a month later, when the price had been dropped to $500 ) we  were greeted with a broken dash, no gear shift knob,a broken quarter window, fuzzy seat covers, bashed in rear  bumper  and 2 inches of dust on EVERY THING!!!!!! When I saw the condition of "my baby" I cried. When the car sales man saw my reaction to the car he said " I'll make you a offer you can't refuse... $275 cash" so we bought it back.  And I drove it home the next day (finding out on the way that the clutch and tranny were shot). Now this brings you up to date and the story continues with pictures.
As you can see we changed almost everything including the steering wheel amd changed the gages to white faced instead of black. In the dark the dash lights are blue. The seats are from a 93 brand X sports car , not to be mentioned.
We replaced our 2.8 V-6 with a 302 V-8, .030 over bore, flat-top pistons, Melling 2804/290 duration cam with 448/474 lift. A Weiand action plus intake topped off with a Carter AFB 600 CFM carb. All in a 71 model Mexican block.
