What's going on guy's, I thought I'd join this site after visiting it so much for helpful information on my car,
I drive a 1996 Ford Mustang GT currently it is 100% stock with the exception of a T-3650 transmission.
She's got a little over 180k miles on the odometer and she still runs like a brand new car. Never had a check engine light come on and don't expect one to come on anytime soon.
Currently I reside in Austin but I am moving back home to the DFW area at the end of this month, right now my Mustang (Kyla), is in the shop for a few repairs before the trip back home. She's in the shop for:
Lower Ball Joints
New Bushings
Lower A/C Line
MacPherson Struts
Shocks
and some transmission work on the TOB.

Couple weeks ago I had an incident on my way home, the driver lower ball joint sheared in half causing the wheel to separate from car. Luckily no body damage was done or any other damage.
I bought the car about 5 months ago after getting out of a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo SS which was the worst purchase of my life.
I am familiar with Mustang quite well, I've owned a 89' GT with a 302 bored out to a 306 with BBK Shorty Headers, 4:11 gears, 5-lug conversion, 4 wheel brake conversion, and Saleen exterior parts as well as a nice set of Torque Thrust wheels.
My second Mustang was a 88' GT that was completely stock except for longtube headers, and some Bride racing seats.

Well I think I'll end this with some nice pics, enjoy guys!

Thanks! My first one was quite the head turner when i was done with it.
the 96'GT is by far the best car I've ever owned, I love the sound of that 4.6L, even with stock exhaust it just sounds mean as hell
