I've been lurking for a while, just took the time to register this morning. 6 months ago I finally decided to get back into the Mustang world after about a 5 year break. I went out and found an '01 Bullitt that needed some TLC, and started rebuilding her. Things are coming along well, but I forgot how expensive this gets quickly.........lol
When I bought 5339, she was running a bit rough, but the exterior was decent, and the interior was spotless, except for a small spot on the driver's seat where the seatbelt rubs all the time. She just needed some love, so I'm working on it slowly but surely.
So far:
Had oil changed back to 5W20 synthetic from the 10W40 that was in her.
Replaced 4 weak coil packs and rebuilt the other 4
Put new Motorcraft Platinum plugs in her.
Replaced the Autozone Spectre filter with the Tunable Induction MAF forward kit.
Cleaned the MAF, which was horribly needed.
Replaced the throttle body gasket to fix a vacuum leak.
Changed the transmission fluid to Amsoil, 3.2 quarts.
Replaced the factory shifter with the MGW.
Bought the SCT X3 with a custom tune from VMP Performance.
Put on the UPR off-road X pipe.
Had a custom exhaust built with Flowmaster 1 chamber race mufflers
4" Cowl Hood from HO Fibertrends.
Cleaned, Cleaned, and then Cleaned some more.
Had the windows tinted, 20% on the back, 35% on the fronts.
Had the taillights and 3rd brake lights tinted.
Bought 2 17x10.5" wheels and 315/35 Sumitomos to replace a bent wheel
Added HPM Megabite SRs and had the pinion angle adjusted to -3 degrees
Replaced the factory subframe connectors with weld in models
Added Vogtland springs and Koni shocks and struts
Added UPR caster camber plates
Got some billet goodies for the interior, not much for now
Did I mention cleaning?.......lol
As soon as I get back from vacation this week, I'm going to order the other 17x9 wheel I need for the front (bought one already, what can I say, I'm buying as I get some cash.....lol) And I already have the 275/40's sitting here for them.
