Got the interior all clean, and a coat of wax on it.

Car looks great in the pics, trust me its still a 10 footer, but does look lightyears better then it did!


Now I want to detail the motor more..... but on to some pics

Very nice. Some new headlights would really top it off. The current headlights are still in good shape though...Yes, I'm talking about the car.

Got it for $2k with a BBK SSI upper/lower intake, Off road hpipe and BBK headers as extras. So I am into the car for probably $1500

I just bought those tires rims from a local guy as they were MUCH cleaner and nicer then what I got the car with. I actually like the white letter on it....so they are staying for now.

- New 6pc headlights going in this weekend.
- Fixing the quarter window moldings soon
- Had to put a new windshield in, so thats done.
- Keeping the Cheesegraters before someone asks if LX are going in..lol

All in all, its not a bad car at all!

That is one clean Mustang! I have the same Mustang...in 1:18 die cast




I dunno how you guys get your wives/sig others to drive Mustangs. Any girl I date likes my Fox but refuses to set foot in it or drive more than 10 mins with me.

Very nice, keep it relatively stock. I have a soft spot for stock black GT's. I would love to have a Auto GT for a DD.

Looks really nice Jeff. The red compliments the black well on that setup IMO.

Congrats.
