I've had this car for almost 7 years....and 6 of those years its been in pieces in a garage somewhere. This last weekend...on Saturday....I actually drove my Mustang!
It needs a tuneup and an alignment like you wouldn't believe, but....it moves!
Its not ready to be street legal yet, I still need new wing mirrors and windshield wipers, but its almost there.
I know normally, you do a mod over a weekend, or a few months and then you're back on the road. In the 6 years that this mustang has been down, here's what I've done:
Fresh paint ($3500 worth)
Cervini's Cobra kit (kept GT spoiler)
Cobra 5-lug conversion (25th anniversary Cobra Calipers)
99 Cobra wheels
new headliner
diamond clear headlights
Maximum Motorsports C/C plates
Motor/T-5 out of a donor car (don't know if there are any mods to it, but it runs its balls off)
Mass Air conversion
Fresh T-Top weatherstripping
New cowl
fresh black metal doorhandles
Stewart components Stage-1 Water pump
Brand new fan and police fan clutch
balanced 180° Thermostat
FMS blue heater hoses (with heater core restrictor)
Mods on the car when I took it down:
Maximum Motorsports LCA's, Strut tower brace, K member brace, std subframe connectors
Ford 'C' Springs
B&M Ripper shifter
I don't have any pics yet as it still needs a good wash and polish, but I hope to have some next week. But I'm just happy as hell.
Also, on a side note, it was the first time driving the car w/ the upgraded brakes....so THAT's what a stopping Mustang is supposed to feel like.
