First off, a picture of the car before I got busy on it during the summer of 1999.
Just your average looking (read: stock) convertible LX. 
This picture is from the summer of 1998, right when the car was retired from "daily driver" status.

 Cool lense effect huh?  I was trying to show how little the rear axles stick out, compared to the front, from doing a Lincoln/SVO 4 wheel disc/5 lug conversion.  They stick out  3/4" on each side more than what the fronts do.  I'm running offset Cobra R's in the rear that bring it back in 1/2" (M179's).  So the end result is that the rear wheels stick out 1/4" more on each side than the fronts.  Can you tell?

The Cobra R's have since been replaced with Saleen Speedline wheels.
stng-p-d.jpg (24929 bytes) I don't think this qualifies as a "sleeper" anymore.

 No it's not a "TRUE" Saleen.   But the only difference between a real Saleen and this car is where it was built.   I used all of the Saleen parts FROM Saleen (or other Saleen cars).

 This is a shot of a rear wheel showing that it is indeed 4 wheel disc and that you can run a 275-40-17 rear tire on the rear of these cars.   For information on how to do the disc brake swap with your 85-93 Mustang, check out Adam Ginsberg's page!

 Here's a pic of my Autopower rollbar.   It's a 6 point, but I don't have the side bars in during this picture.  You can also see my Recaro front seats.

 

 

 
recaros.jpg (23318 bytes) Another shot of my Recaro front seats.   The swirl look in the seat cushion is from my El Cheapo scanner.

You can also see the slits in the front corner of the carpet for the side bars to mount to the floor.
