1993
I have a 1993 GT hatchback, Im planning on a rebuild for its 100,000 mile rollover, the car is all original and I want to keep it that way. After 15 years the paint is ok but I want a new spray. Any good paint shops in the Houston Area?

5.0 does not need to be rebuilt at 100k.
My 92 ran the same times with 177k as it did with 5k on the clock. Tune it up and if you want to do something on the motor, Put a 93 cobra intake and a set of AFR 165s and 1.7 rockers on it for the price of that rebuild. those 3 things with the stock cam will make tons of power and still drive like stock.  Where do you work in columbus? I will be passing through tomorrow.

i agree....put on a set of afr heads, cobra intake, cam, and 1.7 roller rockers...you pick up 100hp easy...and 100,000 miles heck that car still got lots of life....165 afr would be perfect for that car.
