Thanks everyone!!! I no longer have the black 97 GT. I never paid my dad for it, so I just gave it back to him. I don't need it. And the hatch will be sold within the next week or 2, so then i'll only have 2 mustangs again.
Well, The only car that I have paid off is the coupe. I bought...
My buddy sold it to me finally!!! I'm sooo excited!!!
Heres the rundown on it... We built the motor and everything together so I know just about everything that was done to it...
Stock, fresh bottom end
Windsor Jr heads
Cobra intake
E-fan
Pro-5.0 shifter
Anderson B31 cam
All new...
Worked on it all day today. Dang i'm tired. Here's what all I got done.
Put in the quarter windows out of the GT
Got the back part of the interior in. Just need to clean up everything which I have been neglecting to do so far. The only part of the interior that I've cleaned is the...
Thanks!!! Your car is looking really good btw. I'm looking forward to more progress on it as well. You're very lucky to have a daughter that cares about helping you on the car. Around here, young girls care nothing about working on cars or even washing their cars.
I don't know what happened today, but when I woke up I felt like all of my motivation had been restored. The goal is to have it done by next week. I have tomorrow off from work, so im going to get an early start on her tomorrow. The engine bay is primed and I plan on having it done by lunch...
not a big fan of black interiors. I love a clean gray/black or red/black interior. Black never seems to match up and look right. Every piece looks to be a different shade of black. I hate to see guys ruin a clean red or gray interior for a ratty black interior.
5 lug, I have to say, HAS to...
Finally got around to messing with the car some more today. i'm really getting tired of messing with this thing and losing motivation every day. If anybody would be interested in buying it as a roller, let me know. I don't know if I will be motivated enough to finish it.
I got the car on the...
Not much new stuff going on... I traded my Pro-5.0 shifter for some parts for my 89 lx, so after driving around with a stock shifter for a while, I finally broke down and got an MGW shifter. I love the way it feels compared to the old Pro-5.0. I also bought a Hurst Pistol grip handle to change...
Thanks!
Heres todays progress...
Got the rear end in. I'm ordering some KYBs tomorrow at work, as well as pressing my balljoints in. Then all I have to do is put the front stuff on and the car will be a roller again!
Got the door panels on
Headliner is in
And the...
Heres the latest progress...
The dash is in, the crappy carpet is in, the console is halfway in, the wiring and HVAC stuff is done, the steering column is in, and the door handles are on. Tomorrow I will try to finish up the inside and get started on the engine bay. Then, all I will have to...
A little bit more progress today...
Got the entire car wired up today. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. I also put the good blower box in, along with a new Heater Core. I HATE pulling dashed in these things. I've done 4 of them now, but it's still not fun.
I...
Thanks! I can't take all of the credit for cleaning the brake parts, it was mainly just my OCD kicking in. I have to have things a certain way or it will drive me insane!
I'm shooting for having the car running by June 25th, driving and complete by July 10th, AND hopefully sold by the end of...
I wish I could, but I still need them to roll the car on.
Made some more progress...
I got the motor ready to be pulled.
I got the dash and every piece of wiring out of the GT...
I started transferring wiring over to the LX. I got the car wired from the console back. I...

Oh, believe me, I tried everything. I even pulled the dash out twice to try to figure it out... but couldnt figure out anything. At least I have heat and working windows!
Thanks guys! I'm pretty sure i'm going to put it on the Prostars first until I get my fenders rolled. Then, Ill put the 03s on.
I messed with the GT all day today. I had some people look it over, and everyone thinks its best to part it out. So, I AM going to be building the LX, not just...
Wow I'm amazed this many people think the 97s look the best! I didn't even touch the Lx yesterday. I spent the whole day messing with the Gt. I'm really liking it. I think I might end up keeping it and getting it fixed. So, the Lx body may end up getting put on hold for a while...
Well, I ended up not getting the black Gt.
I ended up getting this instead for about the same price!!! 89 Gt, 5.0, 5 speed, 140mph speedo, all original, 1 owner, 62,000 mile car. The car was wrecked in 2003 and has sat every since. A guy my buddy...
