Cars are always worth more in stock condition. Leave it alone. I would even go as far as gutting the engine bay and repainting it red. Then reinstall all the stock parts.

Yeah, I think the bay looks like crap. My mom did say it comes off, but I won't really know till it's here.

Car looks great, Blandnuts. Congrats. Hell, a stock 5-speed with a gear is still a pretty snappy street car imo. We're just spoiled. lol If anything I would just add a few upgrades to make the current setup more enjoyable: aftermarket shifter, upgraded struts/shocks and maybe springs.

nice grab man, looks good! There's an original 32k of hatch here in my town for sale, but the motor has x heads with an f cam and a cobra intake and all the rest of the supporting stuff. He wants 9 g's for it though

Thanks, the biggest change in getting married was saving a little on car insurance. Other then that it's the same . Well, the 10 holes are gone since I'll be putting cobra brakes on it. Basically it'll look like the pony boy's car unless I darken the rims. I miss seeing all the stangs like you do in Florida. You still keeping in touch with any of the stang crew?

I hear ya on that man, nothing changed after I got married either. I run into a few guys now and again. I ran into dan and his gf/wife a few months ago and kinda chatted for a few but that was about it. All them other guys I haven't spoken to in a few years (jay, spina, sanders, ect) except joey since he bought my red coupe (bad mistake on my part because i miss that car) which is now for sale by new owner after joey. Ah well, I still have the 95 but it sits and collects dust. Any current pics of the other mustang and your wifes 05? How are you liking it out there so far?

Looks nice, the black engine bay is undercoating. Dealerships did that when requested.

Thanks, that's news to me. I'd much rather have it red but maybe it'll clean up some.

Danny got married to Kim about 4 months ago and they're now saving on car insurance too (with the 5 cars) . Kim is selling her black coupe by the way. Yeah, I think Joey was the last one I talked to. I used to see the other owners of your coupe when I was working in Port. I wonder why it keeps getting tossed around, it was a clean car. Someone should of kept it...hint...hint.

I'm liking it so far out here, the winter might be a beaker for me though. It's better than Gainesville. That college town was killing, damn Gators.


This is about 2 years old and was taken in Gainesville. I really wish the wifes was a V8....oh well.

Well, here's a slight update on the car and a few pics (before the other mustang was sold). The car has 233,000 miles, and it was under coating like bentley429 said. The guy gave me all the original paper work/sticker when he bought the car. It drove fine from Florida to Colorado and is still running good minus the oil leaks. I'm not touching the engine until it blows up, infact I was a happy camper once it passed emissions (I don't know why...I was scared waiting for the results ;P).

The current updates I installed/some when it's warmer.
-Bilsteins on all 4 corners
-Cobra brakes with MM hoses
-MM coilovers fronts with H+R rear springs
-MM c/c plates
-rear control arms
-steeda shifter
-Mark VIII fan with DC controller
-Sony cd player (tapes were too cool for me)
- K member brace,sfc,strut tower brace Kenny brown stuff

Anyways, I'll leave the rest with some pictures that aren't all that great.


Fred
