This is my '86 Mustang GT convertible, originally purchased in July of '07. It was all original, 177,000 miles at the time of purcahse. It recieved minor changes, repairs up until november of '08 when it went under the knife for a complete restoration/modification from the ground up.

All exterior bulbs are LEDs, and low-bean headlights are 5000K HID units ih H4 housings. Wheels are 17x8 Mach 1 wheels, polished with black inserts. New vynl convertible top, pump and hoses.

Interior - I converted it to black, dark gray and red trim. OEM was light gray and dark gray. TMI custom seat upholstery for the OEM seats, OEM door panels partially dyed to black and added the 'running horse' emblems from a '70 Mustang, new black carpeting, custom "mustang" door sills from fox resto, all trim and dash shell painted black, custom speaker kickpanels, Alpine CD headunit with ipod control, custom dash bezels.

This entire project was done within 6 months, inside of my garage on evenings and weekends, and for the most part by myself with my own two hands. this incudes all the paint and interior work.  

this car does have flaws, its not perfect, but its a frut of my effort and it shows what one man can do by himself if he sets his mind to it
