New tires on old wheels
My daughter will be getting this car (90 LX 5.0 auto convert) in 4 years (she will be 12 next month), so I let her pick from 3 sets of wheels that I had (Enkei 92 — 16x7, stock 10-holes, or these AR-534 that I bought in 94 for my 86 GT convert). Yesterday I replaced the 17 year old Uniroyal RTT-1 225/50-16 tires (only 10k miles, but as hard as hockey pucks) with new Falken Ziex 512 235/55-16 tires. She also decided to have me add the white decals to the front and rear "MUSTANG" and chose the red 80's vintage radio antenna. We are off to WI for a car show tomorrow with the car and for the occasion I had faux MN collector plates made with "LAURENS". She is excited, and hopefully I'll have a car show buddy for at least a couple more years.

Having a 15yo son who is working with me on his project car (a 98 V6/5spd coupe), I applaud your plans to include your daughter in this project. That is a GREAT car for a young driver (a '90 having a driver's airbag). She is very lucky!
 [The wheels look sweet too!]

You are a lucky guy and your daughter is getting a very nice car. My son is 13 and has no intrest in cars. If he was I would be doing the same thing you are doing.

You have my admiration; I have 2 boys and 1 girl; only the little girl shows any interest at all in helping daddy work on cars.......
