Hello all, I just joined the forum and wanted to say Hi. I'm bringing back to life a 2004 GT I bought almost 20 years ago and I'm sad to say she was neglected for some years due to a series of tragic events in my life. So far I've cleaned almost every inch of her inside and out including engine bay. I've replaced the intake manifold with a Ford Performance one as it was leaking at the heater core hose connection. Replaced spark plugs with Motorcraft Platinums. I flushed about 20 gallons of distilled water through the cooling system (water is clear now). Installed a Mishimoto Aluminum radiator with new fan, Mishimoto upper and lower radiaor hoses, motorraft heater core hoses and new heater return line under the intake. New Motorcraft water pump, New Stoptech Z26 rotors and pads, Stoptech red powder coated calipers with Russell braided stainless lines. MRT offroad H Pipe, with new upstream and downstream O2 sensors, with Mini Catalizador spacers on the downstreams. Airaid CAI, Flowmaster American Thunder cat back. Ford performance 4:10 rear gear. SCT Livewire TS+ Tuner with Bama tunes for life. (which I made a post about in the SN95 section, please have a look) I'm looking at doing tires and new paint this next year. It has been a journey so far and I'm really looking forward to having her back on the road again!

Oh yeah I forgot about the aluminum overflow, 200amp alternator, big
3 0gauge upgrade, yellow top Optima, did some upgrades to the sound system as well. I've been working on it since this last summer.
