I paid 3k for my GT and I still think I payed too much for it. You can look at it anyway you want but you still payed too much period. I don't mean this as an insult but seriously, I have seen foxes that are in better condition (not to mention cheaper) than yours at the junk yard.

oh and since i didnt put these pictures in here for some of you who didnt catch them in other threads...






and today after i got off work i put some 6" speakers in the rear to replace the factory 88's "premium sound"...


god i love my stang!



ok lil update... in the morning were driving down to puckerington to pick up a door for 60 bucks... when i get it back im thinking i may sand it down and prime it and throw it on there.

then im thinking about fixing my wipers...i have no idea whats wrong with them...no different speeds will work..only works if i push it up for the "wash" so im thinking the switch is bad?....

oh and here is the other project im doing Sunday...



my buddy bought this for 1k last Monday...i got an engine hoist just in case...were gonna throw a new pump on there and prime the engine and turn it over...(know it runs) if it's not right were yanking the motor out...

needs a new oil pump...98k on it 5 speed.... needs new mirrors... (busted out) everything else is about 100% going to get a goof buff and polishing then its going on ebay....


you know...i know why my car sits like it is...i help to many other people with there cars

there easy. Pull the cover off and couple torx screws man. PIE

And the ebay item is the ford racing kit. Nothing wrong with it at all. or you can run to a boneyard, get two left ranger axles and some drums. 7.5/8.8.. long as its 28 spline it doesnt matter

He just primed it to keep any more rust from forming while teh car isn't being touched. He's fixing it completely later.

Ryan, primer will soak up moister over time and cause more surface rust than what you had before hand, if you plan on leaving it outside over the winter I would not leave the car in primer. Just so I don't sound like a douch I do paint and body as a second income and I'm alot better at that than I ever will be at the mechanic side of the mustang.
