Shanda’s ’89 Mustang

Before

After

Shanda’s 1989 Mustang convertible gives new meaning to the term “rag top.” This ride is so busted, there’s a gaping hole in the ceiling. This, among other things, causes some trouble when nature takes its course. It’s not raining men, it’s raining—literally—on Shanda. There’s also trouble for backseat passengers, one window is missing and the other won’t roll down. And forget about listening to the radio, turning on the heat, or the air conditioning, ‘cause none of this stuff works. It’s pretty obvious this Mustang is in need of Xzibit’s golden touch.

When X arrives on Shanda’s doorstep, she is all smiles. Finally the Mustang will be turned back into the stallion it was meant to be. After all, this was the type of ride featured in Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” video. The Mustang is destined for great things, though when X first takes a look at it, he is repulsed. “Are those finger nails and raisins in the ashtray?” It’s true the interior of this ride leaves something to be desired, especially because Shanda seatbelts herself into the car by wrapping the broken belt around the back of the seat, and then tying it in front of her. Not sure if this complies with highway safety, but Shanda will soon have seatbelts and a whole lot more once the guys at West Coast Customs take on the job.

The boys at West Coast get right to work as soon as the Mustang arrives at the garage. Say goodbye to the dirty off-white color, and hello to raspberry red. And that’s not all… the guys mix a gold shimmer paint that matches the new gold rims. The inside isn’t too shabby either. Along with a touch-screen DVD player, the Mustang comes with a photo-booth in the front seat (one of Shanda’s favorite hobbies is photography). And don’t worry about getting those pictures developed, the car has a built in printer.

If you happen to be behind Shanda’s Mustang on the road, you’ll know it, because to match Shanda’s bubbly personality, the guys at West Coast had a good old time installing a bubble machine into the ride so bubbles shoot out of the back of the car. Shanda is ecstatic to see her new Mustang. She gives it a great, big hug and then it’s hugs for all of the boys at West Coast before this lucky lady takes off to pick up her girlfriends for a night on the town. Shanda has officially been pimped.
