The car has some issues like a dent between the rear side window and the back window. It's there because some jerk tried to break into the car and when he couldn't he punched it. You can see the knuckle marks. The driver's door lock is scratched up and dented a bit too. 
 
I don't drive this car much. I probably spend more time cleaning and tinkering with my Mustang than I do behind the wheel. I don't mind though. It's pleasant work and keeps me out of trouble. I reupholstered the original black cloth seats with black leather last year. It was overdue and I don't like cloth anyway. For a grease monkey like me it's mission impossible to avoid stains. The Hurst shifter is from Summit Racing. Good folks to deal with.

5.0 Basics Engine I.D. Guide
    

I purchased a new set of Weld clone wheels. They're the exact same wheel without the Weld logo on the center cap. 15x8's on the back and 15x7's on the front. I couldn't get 9" wide rear rims and 10 inchers would have stuck out too far. When I installed the new wheels and tires I put 2.75 x15 rubber on the rear and they rubbed on the quad shocks. I had to remove the shocks to get the tires to work. As a result the Mustang handles like a drunken sailor at the moment. The solution is to install new quads and reverse them so that the shock cylinder is on the end where the tire rub was happening.
 

The door jambs and sills on this `90 Mustang are rust free. The only rust is some bubbling behind the left rear wheel on the quarter panel and a small hole in the floor under the driver's left heel. The rest of the floor is A1 and still has the factory paint on it.
