    Buying a first stang, but there's one catch....

    It does happen occasionally but your friend knew what totaled his truck, this is based on the assumption the owner is telling the truth.

    Finally got the car back to sitting on the ground on all 4's! I gotta say that the car seems MUCH lower than I remember but it could be the 2 months it spent on jackstands. Here are a few pictures that I have: Now the last step is getting the brake calipers and brackets to the...

    Buying a first stang, but there's one catch....

    I would never put any money into a salvage title unless it was strictly a track car.

    Thanks man. I plan on keeping the shock bolt somewhere in my house or maybe even just keep it in the center console for a reminder of what I had to to through in the transformation. Here is a current picture after the work tonight: Also I will throw this out there, what color combo should I...

    Restoring My College Mustang, Ideas Please!!

    Do it yourself. Take your time and it will turn out great. Simple green is an cheap cleaning solution. Just be cautious of spraying the COP covers and the fuse boxes too much. Use a soft brush and once again, take your time. Engine degreaser may be needed for a job like this though too.

    01-04 A/C and Radio Bezel in a 98 Cobra

    V-6 cars have the blanks. I'm not concerned with the double din unit as much as the wiring I want to do. Relocate fog light button and defroster as well to the lower center console area. I just need to paint my pieces and find the CD player I want to do my swap.

    I'll be getting the driveshaft back with the correct yoke and flange on the back to get the IRS to connect to it. Today the brake lines got the best of me. Living 15 miles away from the closest parts store along with those stores not having the parts I need in stock make it tough. Hopefully I...

    help to find the right paint

    I do not have a BAB car but that is the code I got when searching for it as well. http://paintref.com/mustang/1999/1999_00019_01.jpg That car is a new edge and is a BAB in color. With the right accents the color looks amazing.

    Discount Tires Took off Good Tires, Did they Damage Bead? Pics

    Good luck man, may want to speak directly with a manager when you come in. I know Discount has members on other forums so if you are on those you may want to shoot them a message and see what they have to say as well if you don't get the answer you're looking for.

    01-04 A/C and Radio Bezel in a 98 Cobra

    It can be done but some light modification will need to be made. There are 2 metal ear tabs that will need to be removed and small bracket fabbed to mount the cd player to underneath it. When you get your trim pieces from the usual sources (metra being the most common) you will see pretty easy...

    Struts and shocks may be going away

    If its still the stock suspension parts I would say its time for some lowering springs and new shocks/struts for sure. Caster Camber plates too if funds allow.

    Fuel filter changed today. How in the hell you are able to do that with the rear end still in the car is a struggle I'm sure. Had a little hiccup with the brake lines so they are a little away in shipment than I had hoped. Looking like the next time I will be able to work on the car is the...

    Today's update: Progress is on hold for a few days now. Waiting on the brake line parts to come in so I can fab up the hard lines. The rear suspension shows signs that the car was wrecked at one point as well, the driver's side control arms needed some heavy convincing to come out. All...

    I was able to do some work on it today. I am still waiting on some of the brake line parts to get to me so I am not in a hurry to get it torn down. I was able to remove that ugly ass bolt that one of the previous owners took heat to as well as a BFH. Sawzall ftmfw!!
