1992 Mustang Spring Preparation

That Fox is beautiful!!! I would love to have an LX 5.0 notchback sitting in the garage next to the Lightning. After we get a new roof on the house, it will happen.

How many miles, or KM does she have?

Beautiful Stallion! Reminds me of my 1990 GT. I swore by #26 and #7. Always worked like a charm! Meguiar's makes very good products.

The trim and the rubber around the back windows is a common problem. I used #26 on the back window moldings and the side trim. Very light costs.

That pony is going to fly with what you have planned!

I had 92 LX 5.0 that very color I bought new. Looks great!

Thanks a lot! She just got in the shop yesterday, engine's coming out for a rebuilt and she'll go in storage for the winter. Supercharger was ditched, going for a N/A 306 with an Anderson N61.

Molding and trims will be next year's project. Some will have to be changed completely (cowl grille is cracked around some screw holes) and I'll try #26 on the windows moldings. So another winter, another list of projects haha!

I parked her today at 138 000kms, or around 86 000 miles.

What a magnificent example of the breed. Late Model resto, American Muscle, and MPS salvage are some places that come to mind for resto parts for Fox bodies. I never realized when these cars were a dime a dozen when I was in high school that they would still be as popular today, albeit slightly rare in good condition such as yours. Thankfully the aftermarket industry has seen fit to see the following of these cars and have many of the parts available to keep them on the road for years to come.

Thanks for the kind words!

Yes, recently foxes value jumped. Here in Canada fine exemple are easily in the 15 000$+ range! I'm glad I picked her up before the craze.

I hope someday to have a Termi. We have two in the family.. I need a Comp Orange coupe!

I am hoping the Terminators have started to hit the low end peak of depreciation. I always wanted a competition orange coupe as well. My other colors of choice are sonic blue, mineral grey, and dark shadow grey. My 03 ragtop is mineral grey... had it going on 8 years now. As a side note, I used to be a Camaro guy. I went over to the dark side and never looked back.

Nice! My uncle have a 2003 Convertible too, the bronze-grey one (Mineral or Dark Shadow ?) and his son have a 10th Anniversary silver coupe. Both fine vehicles!

Even since they came out with the GT500 and Coyotes, the presence and feeling of the Terminator is unique. My father have a '11 5.0 Ragtop, and I drove a friend's '13 GT500. Sure, they're years ahead cars from the 03-04... But they miss the 'refined muscle' feeling of the Terminators. They have the perfect balance of the classic muscle car feeling from cars like my LX and comfort from newer vehicles.

Good to see we gained another soldier! haha! I was born in a Ford family.. My grandfather sold Ford for 40+ years. My uncles is selling ford since '71 (he had an '89 GT he bought new, sold to my father, then bought back. He gave it to his son 3 years ago. He now have a 8 000 miles '04 Azure Mach 1). My father had 15 Mustangs (a '69, 13 foxes and his '11). We bleed blue haha!
