Looks clean and easy to work on. Must move out good with that light weight fox body.

I'm normally not a fan of LX hatchbacks, but this one looks really good. Nice work

Very nice car, I'm sure it's a blast to drive! I'd take off the faded window tint and put some new on, would make a big difference.

Thanks everyone. The car is fun to drive and has plenty of power......for now lol. Still need to get the new injectors in and retuned. Im hoping itll dip into the mid to high 11's as is with the retune but have no idea if thats a reasonable expectation.

The window tint isnt faded it just shows up weird on the pics. I think part is the cloudy day, reflection of the concrete, and the pics need to be touched up.

I wasnt sure about how most people would like the hatchback but I guess I accomplished my goal of making it look tasteful because I heard lots of "i dont like hatches but yours made me change my mind". If feels awesome to hear that and to see people doing double takes of the car. The car still needs little stuff here and there but nothing anyone would notice without me pointing it out.

I love your car, and personally I think hatchbacks look FAR better than notchbacks, although I'm partial to GTs over LXs myself (apart from the cheese grater tail lights, lol.)

If I had the time and money I would LOVE to find a super clean black on black 91-93 GT and throw in an LS1 + T56 combo.

Damn, that's sweet. Older cars just look better to me for some reason. Hatch or Notch either one looks good but you pulled that one off nicely.

i love lsx fox's so great job. very clean. but ill second the window tint comment, redo it with new tint cus i have a feeling yours is the old stuff with blue dye in it that makes it look like **** after a couple years in the sun.

very clean fox and great job putting it all together tastefully. seems like a overall great car to cruise in and take the strip on the weekends.

Man that looks great! I love the super clean foxbody look, I'm sure it turns heads on the road!

I'd love to build a 1968 mustang fast back (red) with one of these badboys http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...L-Crate-Engine

See now I'm getting the itch again

WOW!! Very very nice LX. I love those cars. I want to do a lsx swap in one some day. Keep up the great work. Nice and clean. Most ppl just don't swap them so clean.

Man if the new 5.0 was cheaper for a whole setup that would have been a good way to go but I do love this motor!! Also thanks for all the good words. I do owe the cleaned up engine bay partly to the previous owner. He did all the welding and most of the body work. I simply finished some final sanding/grinding of welds and painted it.

mid to low 11s should be easily attainable with tires.
