[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 4265875, member: 13284"] Thanks! IMO, these cars were the best of the Fox platform. My first car was a Midnight Blue '88. I looked for the better part of 15 years for another that was in good shape and within driving distance. This one came from a seller on Facebook up in Hays, KS nearly two years ago. He had kept it garaged since it was purchased in '97. The car still wasn't nearly quite this clean looking when I purchased it, but most everything has been easy to address. Luckily, I have still been able to find some nice NOS and nearly new parts for the car and a lot of new repro Fox Mustang parts will fit or can be slightly modified to fit. I've always thought that a restomod with a modern Eco-Boost would be a cool project for a Turbo Coupe. I've seen a 3.5L swap, but you're relegated to an auto transmission in that circumstance. I assume that a 2.3L Eco-Boost out of a current Mustang would work with a manual transmission in this platform, though. For now, I'm going to stick with the original Lima 2.3L. At some point it will get a modern turbo and possibly cammed. Aside from a turbo-back Stinger Performance exhaust kit, the car is completely stock. [/QUOTE]
