I had a '93 Mustang with a swapped VIN from an '87 and a front end from a red '90. Such a POS, every body panel was dented and/or crumpled, the engine had some serious carbon build-up, and the trans blew its guts out on the freeway. Somehow I got $300 for it. I hated that car, but I kind of wish I still had it. Very good for learning dos and don'ts, and awesome for being a teenager in.

I still have my my Monte which is my first car. Its on its 3rd engine, 2nd transmission, and 3rd rear end . . . that I know of. Some days I dont even wanna look at it, but other days (when something doesnt break) I love it. Definatley taught me pretty much everything I know about cars and it was the main influence on my decision to go to college for High Performance motorsports.
 
wish i still had my first car. it was an 81 olds delta 88 2 door. blue on blue with an olds 307. it was a tank but it had the best ride to it. raced it twice and won both times. a 305 powered mc ss and my friends moms 91 grand marquis. would love to find another 2door 88
 
my 3rd vehicle was an 80 2door delta 88 it was a very fun car. the 200 trans took a sh*t so the kid i got it from had gotten a th350 out of a trans am didnt finish putting it in and his parentals made him sell it i bought it for $60. finish the trans swap and it was one mean car
 
Lots of new parts bought evaproator core, new heater hoses and clamps,drier, condensor, steering wheel, fan clutch, valve cover spacers, now it's time to put them on, also tooled up the engine bay quiet a bit. Still need to fix the heater box. Modified the ac brackets from a 307 to run a more modern ac compressor. Put some new wiring coverings on. Adjusted the valves and put the intake on last weekend.Going to attempt to make my own splash aprons also.

Turned 90,000 km's this summer which isnt 100% accurate now that it has 3:73 gears. Someday I would love to do a frame off restoration on it but have been thinking about that for MANY years.
 
I wish I did, sold it when the wife and I started our family,,, The "kid" I sold it to still has it, and he lives a few blocks away from us!!! Sold in 1990,,,Damn I'm gettin' old :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry for the crappy pics!
