Hi, I'm Rob from the UK. I recently purchased a 1999 new edge Mustang 3.8 v6 auto.
I have a few plans for the future and have already changed the hard coilovers back to original style -1 inch springs with adjustable shocks and new front wheel bearings.

Anyway take care, Rob

Took some pics today, hoping to use as is for a couple of years while I get everything mechanically spot on and save up some money then swap to a V8.

Thread '2000 GT: What next?'

Jul 23, 2023
I’ve had a thing for 99-04 cars ever since (regretfully) selling my 2003 GT. Always said I would get back into one of the price is right.

Well, neighbor had once sitting in his driveway for 9 months. Finally I asked him about it. Was a family members who passed away and was looking to just get rid of it.

Long story short, $1k later and it’s in my driveway.

2000 GT premium vert. 68k miles. Runs and drives but has a few issues I can sort through:

-AC clutch failing and rattling hard
-brakes spongy (prob need to be bled)
- mystery current draw drains battery fast.
- needs...
