1988 FORD MUSTANG LX
Back in August 2008, The project started to come together when our generous members donated $1500 dollars for an 1988 LX. The car was missing the engine and transmission, however is was loaded with many extras to include:
Our next adventure was to find an engine for the project car. An unfortunate meeting between a tree and a 1995 MK VIII provided us a donor engine and transmission. After cutting away the damage, the wiring harnesses, computer, engine, and transmission were removed from the donor car.
THE DONOR 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII
To add some style, the local junkyard provided an intake from a 1997 Lincoln LSC
We had the intention to use a hydrabooster braking system from a 2002 Mustang GT but, with all the plumbing issues and such a close fit with the new 4.6 we decided to canx the whole hydrobooster setup and go with Maximum Motorsports Manual Brake Conversion Kit:
The project is now in the mock-up stage and we predict completion in June 2009.
SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS AND ALL THE MEMBERS HELP WE HAVE RECEIVED WE WOULD NOT BE WERE WE ARE TODAY.
TRUFIBER FOR DONATION OF A 3' COWL HOOD
JBA RACING DONATED A SET OF MID LENGTH HEADERS FOR OUR PROJECT:
PST Precision Shaft Technologies for Donation of Custom Racing Driveshaft
With our motor In and trying to fabricate the K-member that came with the car and the installation of the JBA headers we were having all sorts of installation/alignment issues. We called on the support of Suspension Specialist Mr. Anthony Jones owner of AJE Racing and ask for his assistance.
Mr. Jones went beyond our expectation and donated a complete front suspension to our Race Car.
While waiting for our Suspension Kit to arrive we ordered a couple of items for our Modular Conversion Project
Got the Fuel Rails in
With the help and donations of members we have our Power Switch Panel and Installation Harness.
Instead of going thru the hassle of going thru all the wiring we decided to leave the work to the pro's and ordered a kit from The Detail Zone
If you would like to help sponsor our Modular Fox Mustang Project below are items we still need...
Supercharger Kit or NOS Kit
Gauges (Boost, Fuel, Oil, Water)
Gauge panels/towers
Tachometer with shifting light
Shift Kit for a 4R70W tranny

Our expanding membership, devotion to Mustang enthusiasm, and development of project cars is making the coming years very exciting.
