1988 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"It's a quick berzerker"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right when this car was bought it was leaking oil from the heads, the starter was bad, and the heater core was shot. The cap and rotor were bad and it was miss firing, I also bought new wires and plug's. Horn was shot too.
General comments?
The interior was great no holes, someone had decided to throw up in the back seat though (Rancid). Performance is still great, some wheel hop. The steering radius is terrible; I can't pull a U-turn on a four lane road with a median. The locks must have been switched to cause neither key works! This car doesn't have must rust either.
