Well since the 1mz has been giving me trouble an i needed a break from it before i just threw a stick of tnt in an walked away i desided it was time to start fixing lizs old car
 Little bit of a backstory. Shes been a big mustang fan since forever thanks to her mom the loves them too so when she finished basic training for the army the first thing she bought was this mustang that a friend of mine She paid 2000 for it (witch looking back was probably about 500 to much) it was in fairly desent shape other than a slipping tranny ok before i go any farther Car specs 91 mustang lx hatchback 2.3l 4cyl nonturbo Auto trans When she bought it the stang was bone stock. The first big thing that was done was the rims were changed to the ones in the above pic I traded my old 90 ford festiva for them an 3 radios. -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy

I cant remember how many miles it got per tank but we could drive to lima( 30mile from my house) to her army base( another 10mile from lima)then put about another 15-20 mile driving around lima then drive home. On only 1/8 of a tank an the gas light wouldnt even kick on
so it got around 90-100 mile on an 1/8 tank. You have to take into account that we super babied it due to the trans too -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy
