****Turbo stuff added on page 2****
Here's my '83 Mustang GLX. It originally had a 4 cyl, but I converted to a '93 EFI 5.0 with a few bolt-ons. The exterior was updated with '93 LX taillights and qtr windows, along with '00 GT 17" wheels and tires. It's always under construction, so I'll try to keep it updated. Most of these pics are a couple years old. No pics of when it had the 4 banger in it.
Work in progress pic, right after the engine swap and '95 Cobra front brake upgrade.
