Ok guys, as stated, today on my way home from work i looked down just in time to see my odometer roll over 80,000 miles. She runs as good if not better than some newer mustangs, the trany is new and its been very well cared for. Is there anything i should have checked or tuned, now that shes an old horse? I want to keep her running as well as it has.

I would change all the fluids out.....check ball joints, tie rods and maybe change the struts out. at this mileage the suspension parts would be what i looked at if i had a good strong engine with no apparent problems...maybe have the timing chains and sprockets checked...
