    Paint and Body About To Get The Gt Freshened Up A Little (now With Some Pics)

    Quick little update...though I didn't grab any pictures this time. On Monday, they'll have had the car 4 weeks. I drove by the shop late last week and saw the car out on their lot and it looked like they still hadn't started on it. I did drive by during business hours but didn't stop in...I...

    Grill Part Number Needed

    I thought there wasn't any difference between a Cobra grille and a non-Cobra grille. Pretty sure they have the same mount points for whichever emblem it had (running pony vs. Cobra) and the same lights. Been a while since I've seen the two though...I thought the only differences were the...

    99-04 Gt Cheap Brake Upgrade.

    Yes, certainly better than finding out the hard way, while on the side of the road at 11:00 at night wondering "Why isn't the wheel turning up front?!?" ;) Right...the Cobra calipers are painted black and do have "COBRA" imprinted in them. The Mach 1 calipers are just the bare metal finish...

    Paint and Body About To Get The Gt Freshened Up A Little (now With Some Pics)

    I checked in with the shop late last week; they said the paint rep hadn't been out yet and stated they may end up having to repaint the whole car with as much failure they're seeing on it. THAT would be simply awesome. I'm grateful for whatever they do...if it's just the front end and roof...

    99-04 Gt Cheap Brake Upgrade.

    The Mach 1 rotors are 13"; noticeable difference to the GT's stock 11" rotors. This is just for the fronts...I'm not sure if the rears are bigger on the Mach, but I do know they are bigger on the Cobra. I opted not to do the rear brake conversion as it is a little more involved than the fronts...

    99-04 Gt Cheap Brake Upgrade.

    I had to do some digging for these, and it's probably even harder now, but I have the Mach 1 front brakes on my GT. The calipers, pads, and rotors all came as a set and it cost me $300 for everything. It's essentially the same setup as the Cobras except the calipers are plain instead of having...

    Dex Cool Question

    Thanks! The higher price for 50/50 never made sense to me...pay more for a LOWER concentration of coolant? I only bought it in a pinch in the past...I try to avoid it otherwise.

    Why 215mm Width???

    Ah, I see now. Yeah, that would seem to make sense to widen the tires a bit with the extra "oomph."

    Dex Cool Question

    Since I've only had Fords, I've never dealt with Dex Cool before so I'm wondering if there are any differences to it vs. standard coolant. Does it still need water added? If so, can it be bought as a 50/50 mix like regular coolant? Any other things I should know? I'm going to be replacing the...

    Why 215mm Width???

    So the tire width on a Mustang has decreased over the years?? The factory width for my '03 GT is 245. Has the width of the actual wheel decreased or are they still 8"? Wonder what would warrant the narrower width.

    Maintenance Suggestions On A Low Mileage 03

    Might not hurt to change, or at least check, all fluids...power steering, brake, coolant, etc. How about the hoses? Spark plugs could go bad but if there's no evidence of hesitation, you might be okay. A fresh set wouldn't hurt. 25K is pretty low for a 14 year old car. Check the suspension out...

    Inherited '89 Lx 5.0 Getting Started

    I'm not big on Fox-bodies, but, my god does that one look beautiful. You've really got a great ride there. I understand the desire for more power and such but I'd leave a 28-year-old car in that great of shape unaltered. That's just me though. Good luck! :nice:

    Paint and Body About To Get The Gt Freshened Up A Little (now With Some Pics)

    I dropped the car off at the body shop this morning and they said they'll be getting the paint rep out there to look it over. Can't wait to get it back!

    Blast From The Past

    I just saw that the II I used to have showed up on eBay back in November. 1977 Ford Mustang Ghia It didn't sell; the seller had it listed for $2500. I sold it to someone local here in Annapolis in 2013 for $600. At the time, it didn't run and it was all silver. The guy I sold it to was the...

    Mustang II Member's rides

    As 74stang2togo stated, it was all in how the numbers were reported. And this wasn't just for Mustangs...this was all across the board. EVERY vehicle was impacted by the change at the time. Even though the numbers for the Mustang II's V8 were showing at under 140 hp, they still had plenty of...

    Intermittent Flashing Service Engine Soon Light 02 Gt

    Given the symptoms you've stated, I can't, no. But I had the intake manifold crack a few years ago and coolant sprayed all over the place under the hood. So with that said, definitely get it tested by a reputable shop to determine where the leak is coming from and go from there.

    Intermittent Flashing Service Engine Soon Light 02 Gt

    If you haven't figured it out already (I think you may have judging by the post after this from you), cylinder 8 is at the back of the block, closest to the firewall. It's on the driver's side of the engine. Taking the coil out is easy...unplug the connector from the COP, and you just need a 7...

    Intermittent Flashing Service Engine Soon Light 02 Gt

    That would be cylinder 8. I just went through this with my GT not too long ago. It was showing a misfire on 4 and 8. I replaced the COPs and all is well. For me, the misfire would occur after the car had been sitting for more than a day in colder temps (below 40) or after it had rained. If I...

    The Car Cover Thread - What You Got?

    I have a California Car Cover...it's quite nice; I've only used it twice in the 13 years I've had it but I may start using it more here soon. So it's holding up rather well, I like the protection it offers, and the only thing I'd change is to add a provision for the vehicle's antenna somehow. As...

    Paint and Body About To Get The Gt Freshened Up A Little (now With Some Pics)

    Here we go...might be a little hard to see it from the photos. But all that hazing above the windshield and rear window...yeah, that's how it actually is. No weird lighting effect or anything...that's just down to the color coating. Buh-bye clear. Roof: Hood (off a '99 Cobra): Front bumper:
