    Should I Buy It?

    Actually I just bought a 2010 GT 5sd with 62k for 18000, which of course ended up at just under 20 after taxes and tags and dealer BS fees. As far as the whole engine deal from start to finish would have made me mad as hell. If your getting a decent power train warranty from Ford then make...

    Mustang Gt Turns Off!!!

    +1 on the last reply, and +1 on paragraph spacing and over all post penmanship. Everyone on here is more than willing to try and help answer questions like this one when they come up but if we can't understand the question, we can not answer it. So for my. O2 cents, it sounds like your car...

    New '99 Gt Convertible Owner

    Well I got my 2000 bone stock right down to factory exhaust. I didn't intend on doing any mods other than exhaust for sound but ended up doing some more things than I intended on doing when I bought it. I kept everything I upgraded just in case I ever decided to sell it. I've got plans for...

    Progress Thread New To Me 96 Gt And A Couple Of Questions

    LOL, Maybe it's because I'm getting older but that was seriously the coldest thing I've read on here in a long time. Definitely looks like a Mustang that would take the right person to fix up as a project. We have all see great things rise up from far worse than this.

    Convertible Guys Chime In, Windshield Replacement

    Ok, here is my experience with this. My 96' gt vert had to have the windshield replacement deal. I took off my own painted pillars myself and the cowl so there was no chance they would mess it up. Reinstalling them is easy enough but getting the top part to line up right with the top is...

    Some Help/new Owner Here

    I would get a new OEM non adjustable cable and a new quadrant and firewall adjuster too. I installed UPR's newer quadrant (tripple hook) and firewall adjuster when I did my clutch job but there are a lot of other brands too.

    Changed Instrument Panel And Car Does Not Start

    I'm curious does doing this allow you to keep the odo correct? I have never messed with the cluster other than in my old 96' gt when I had to replace the old worn out odo gear. Ours are digital and swapping the cluster would change that I figured the way you guys are doing it might retain the...

    Some Help/new Owner Here

    As far as the clutch goes, how many miles on the car assuming the clutch has never been replaced and is OE then something as easy as a new clutch cable could be all that is needed help save your knee. My car seemingly overnight got a stiff clutch that was normally pretty easy going in which case...

    Have Problem !! Timing Cover Replacement !

    LOL, 5 min. Remind me why these fourums are here? This is the kind of answer I would expect to see on the Corral, but never from StangNET. I guess if everyone was super efficient at working on cars as you are then no one would post. To the OP, Sounds like you got it. Great Job!

    Questions About Limited Edition Gt
