During the time my car has sat, I have had several other Stangs. I bought a 88GT vert, parted it out, 89GT parted it out, and a 93 Calypso LX hatch, which I sold. I've bought, sold, and traded parts. Now I have begun to stock up on the good stuff for my notch finally, after buying a bunches of stuff for it only to sell it later. I have the help I need, and a wife that supports it. I decided to go back to all LX, no GT stuff or other ground effects. First thing was a new decklid, which I just sold to buy a HO Fibertrends fiberglass decklid.
