Talking My wifes 1993 2.3l

Here are some pictures of the Stang. I'm doing some restoring and eventually a 5.0 swap. let me know what you think and what I can do to make it look better. And don't say a paint job cause it's gonna get a red paint job latter on down the road. Thanks for looking.

I got nice, clean carpet from a local junk yard so I can redo the trunk and spare tire hole. This is what it looks like now.
I will keep everyone posted on updates. Thanks for looking.

Those little nose scoops are coming off next weekend and the hoods getting sprayed either primer gray or black for now.

I think here in florida insurance is higher on a red sports car. I'd like to keep it the same or a dark blue.

im assuming that the button to the bottom left of the steering wheel is for the fog lights? check out my pics to see what i did with my fog light switch.

Nah. The button on the left is for the horn. The person who had it b4 me did that. Which reminds me, what could be wrong with the horn for them to do that? Fuse? Relay?

oh haha. that sucks. it could maybe be the buttons in the steering wheel, or the contacts could be corroded behind the wheel. i would suspect if it was a fuse you would have lost something else like for example horn and dome light. but if its just horn it leads me to suspect its something else.

Paint it dark blue. I bought mine that way and I have never seen one that looks better. And just by getting rid of those "scoops" will make it look LOTS better. So paint it dark blue and put some polished wheeles on it.
