Yeah it's been a while.. It shows me as a new member, but I've had this account about 9 years, but I've been gone nearly all that time, I maybe had 35 posts or so. I found this forum shortly after buying the last Mustang I owned, late 2006, maybe early 2007. My last Mustang was a '99 GT 35th Limited Edition, and it got wrecked by a very confused truck driver in April of 2007. Shortly after that I sold it, bought a turbo Saab and sort of gave up on cars. Had kids, moved on, blah blah.
Then, two weeks ago I randomly spotted a really nice '00 GT Convertible for sale like way under market, test drove it, honestly, just for kicks, had no intention of buying it. Enjoyed the drive, went home and didn't think much of it.
..... Several days later, it's all I can think about, such a dope looking car (except for a few obnoxious mods) I loved everything about it, especially the price and that it was a convertible, never owned one.
So, here I am, bought the car yesterday morning, and I'm so damn happy I did! I've owned 5 mustangs (well 4, and one Capri RS) and I've never had anything with sooo much work done already, and basically for free. There's a lot I don't know about the car, but it passed a very in depth inspection by a damn good mechanic.
Seems like the system may have forgotten some details I was sure I had here, but it's really hard to remember. Anyway, great to be back, and damn it's nice to own one of these cars again!
Here's a few pics, I'll post the mods after.
![](http://[QUOTE="Az Pete, post: 8987033, member: 82935"]The original fuel cap screws into the tank filler neck. This ensures a good seal. The reason a cap throws a code is it fails this sealing task which limits the fuel systems ability to function properly. Normally takes a couple of start cycles for the system to reset. How does that fuel cap seal to the filler neck?[/QUOTE])
I know I know, the grille is cringeworthy, will get replaced most likely with a Mach 1 or Cobra style delete. Also I need to redo the Plasti Dip this weekend on the wheels, gonna do a full fill-in repair and sand down, etc etc.
The car has:
CAI, BBK power plus TB, Powerflow power air inlet, upper and lower intake manifolds (don't have details on these yet), Flowmaster catback, Cobra brakes, coil overs, aftermarket wheels; staggered, BBK shifter, white face gauges, hood and wing with custom paint, not sure the brand of wing? I can't think of anything else at the time. Seemed like a steal, 93K miles, paid $3995.
