2000 GT: Interior color change?

Mustang5L5 · Mar 20, 2024

Intake off. Need to clean this all up and then tape off the ports and we can then pull the valve covers off to replace the gaskets. Pass side is leaking a bit at the front top corner.

Dorman intake had a 2015 date on it. No idea of that’s when this thing was installed but it’s already failing.

Hard to see but both sides of that port are cracked and collapsing. Hmm…actually this is the same corner I have my valve cover leak. I wonder if that’s really coolant….

Valve covers off. Cleaning them up before reassembly time. Not too bad getting these off with the intake off.

Everything looks very clean under there. Timing chain nice and tight.

Valve cover gaskets done. Had to stop for the night for some injector o-rings an pintle caps. Didn’t like the seal with the old o-rings felt too lose. Guess the Dorman intake it a little tighter in the injector bore so the o rings were compressed more.

Getting new intake ready

Old Dorman on the right?

Yessir

Almost done. Waiting on new injector o-rings.

Local parts store wanted $8 each. Got them in Amazon for $2ish each. Just gotta wait til aun

Got a lot done today. Still waiting on injection-o rings so holding there for now.

Refilled coolant
Drained and filled power steering fluid
Drained and filled trans fluid
New spark plugs
Valve cover gaskets
PI intake
Replaced transmission mount
Adjusted my hood latch

since I was on a roll, I decided to pull off and replace the AC line that was leaking. Quick swap, and pulling a vacuum as we speak

Hoping I can wrap this all up tomorrow

One of my final projects (seriously I’m almost done) is these 99-04 Cobra calipers I picked up. Got both remans for under $100 total.

I’m debating taking a sanding disk to the cobra logo and making it all flat. I’ll paint them red and stick a pony on like the ‘01 bullit calipers

Nice, I think the “COBRA” would look cool showing through the wheels on that car Mike.

Leave the cobra on them, it's not hurting anything and if you upgrade to a huge brake system later they will have higher resale value.

Mustang5L5 · Mar 24, 2024

Welll this was my alternative plan, just like what’s on my Fox

Technically the only caliper is still in the mail. So it may or may not say cobra on it. We will see when it gets here and then decide.

Mustang5L5 · Mar 24, 2024

Done. Started it up. Burped the coolant system (I think) and finally adjusted my darn hood latch so it closes easily.

Not really might left to do:

Charge A/C
Alignment
hood scoop
Swap cobra calipers
Tint windows

And then decide what I’m doing for my wheels because the current tires are 8 years old so need to replace them.

I really want to do this upgrade on my '95, but I'll have to go the route of modifying the GM brackets. The Baer retrofit brackets are impossible to find now.

I know. I briefly looked for a set before getting the cobra brakes. ALmost want to message baer and ask them if they can bring them back.

Mustang5L5 · Mar 27, 2024

Other caliper arrived. Guess there really is no consistency with Cardone remans.

These are both the same line, just opposite sides. One is a bare cobra that’s obviously used and been reman’Ed. The other looks like a brand new casting.

Maybe I should Amazon another of same side as COBRA and see what shows up.

Mustang5L5 · Mar 27, 2024

Not sure if this works…

General karthief · Mar 27, 2024

I don't hate it

Trogdor · Mar 27, 2024

Not my favorite.

I think they look better on a solid color car so for me its the color of the convertible top that throws it off. Shape of the wheel looks great on the car.
