    Progress Thread 2001 Bullitt #265 - Build Thread (LOTS OF PICS)

    It's been a while since I've updated. Since the suspension work has been done, I've just been enjoying driving her around without worrying that a ball joint might fail, etc. Now that fall has descended and summer travel is over, I'm starting to get back into a few projects. This weekend I...

    Erratic Run on a 2001...

    I had a similar issue with my Bullitt Mustang. When my brother had it, it would start and idle fine but after a bit of driving would start to stumble under acceleration above about 2500 rpm. A lot was done to the car including replacing the fuel pump, plugs, and "gutting the cats"... still...

    95 Mustang Cobra

    Sounds like the EVAP lines on the fuel filler are clogged. I had a similar issue with my S197 Mustang several years ago. Another way I found to bypass it is once the filler is in the neck, rotate the filler to the 2 o'clock position (almost upside down) and fuel that way.

    confirming steps for rear spring install

    The pinon snubber is directly above the rear end, mounted to the underside of the body. There are three 8mm bolts that hold the bracket on. Once removed from the car, you can separate the pinon snubber from the bracket and replace it with a new one.

    Thanks. A good thorough cleaning of the engine bay is definitely needed. But that right now is taking a back seat to getting all the mechanical issues sorted out.

    Advice on lining up front control arm

    This weekend I got my front control arms removed. On the driver's side, you'll need to remove the pinch bolt that connects the steering rack to the steering column. Once I did that and separated, the rack was able to come forward enough to get off of the bushing and bushing sleeve. I was able...

    Advice on lining up front control arm

    I am at the same point myself in my front end rebuild. I stopped last weekend at this point. I believe that you need to release the steering rack from the steering shaft, and that will then give you enough room to move the rack past the steering rack bolt sleeve and to be able to move it up out...

    19 years and counting

    That's awesome that you've had it since new for so long. We were the second owner of our Bullitt, starting in 2004. But it has stayed in the family since...from us then to my dad then to my brother and now back to us. Sitting at just over 188K miles. Yours is in much better condition than...

    Progress Thread 2001 Bullitt #265 - Build Thread (LOTS OF PICS)

    About to embark on the next big project, and that will be replacing the suspension. Over the last few months I've amassed all the parts that I will need for this project. According to my dad and brother, the only thing that has been replaced on the suspension is the right front shock. Nothing...

    A Change to my Transmission

    If you are wanting to increase your gas mileage because fuel prices have gone up, you definitely want to have the car in OD as much as possible. The OD gearing is for better fuel economy on the freeway, and if the cars computer is sensing that even around town it is time to put it into OD...

    Progress Thread 2001 Bullitt #265 - Build Thread (LOTS OF PICS)

    When I was younger, reading forums and build threads and sometimes they would go dormant for several months before updates. I now know why that is the case, especially with project cars. Life just gets in the way sometimes, which is did for me. After a long 4+ months, the Bullitt is back on...

    Help in identifying Brothers Performance "box"

    Hey Mustang hive-mind, need some of your help. I've been doing a clutch swap on my 2001 Bullitt Mustang. When I removed the shifter, I ran across a box tucked into the center console labeled Brothers Performance Warehouse. There are no other identifying marks on it. The wires ran from under...

    Just been enjoying driving her around this summer... until this happened. Stranded! Was out filming some back country driving with the Bullitt and my new GoPro. Pulled over to swap out camera angles and wouldn't start. Starter is done for. Here is where I was stranded for a little bit...

    Frosted head lamps

    The kit that I linked to in my post comes with a UV protection film that you apply when you are done. I'll snag some pics of what my headlights look like now and post them up.

    Frosted head lamps

    I disagree, I've used the Meguiar's Heavy Duty restoration kit on several cars, and they come out looking damn good afterwards. When I got my Bullitt, it had terrible halo aftermarket headlights. I snagged a set of factory headlights from the junkyard that were pretty well clouded up. Here's...
