Well figured it was time to start a build thread on my latest Mustang to keep up with my progress on it. I've been looking for a decently clean 94-95 GT, preferably in teal or yellow and finally found this car locally. I bought it with a hair over 140k miles and the car looked great. Interior is in awesome shape minus a couple screws in the door pulls, needles weren't faded, seats weren't ripped. It had all the typical 5.0L idle hiccups and a slight miss but the car was the right color and besides a few marks on the bumper, it was straighter than any other Mustang I've owned and I threw the guy some cash and brought it home.

The car is mostly stock. The previous owner cut the factory springs, did a full exhaust (BBK shorties, BBK O/R H, Flowmaster catback), slapped on the Cobra wheels and 96-98 taillights, and deleted the smog pump and blocked off the EGR. This car is my daily and I recently bought a house so I'm not going too crazy with it and progress will be slow. First thing I did was toss the factory horizontals back on the car. I plan on taking it on the Hot Rod Power Tour next week and once I'm back, I'm planning on freshening up the suspension with new control arm bushings, rear lower control arms, H&R Supersports, new shocks, and C/C plates to get rid of the bouncy cut springs. Eventually I plan on tossing in a motor I bought from Win back in the day for my 67 and finding a S-Trim to hang off of it and doing supporting mods for that and getting the cars minor body work done and some fresh paint on it.


I'll be getting some better pics soon as I clean it up and get ready to hit the HRPT. For now, here's a pic from they day I got home with it and a couple weeks later when I stopped by and visiting my old 95 that I recently got out of my pasture and gave to a friend for them to build a race car out of.

Well the car successfully made it the full distance on the Power Tour without a hitch! Roughly 2200 miles from driveway and back again. My throwout bearing has gotten increasingly noisy along with my front left brakes so they're first on getting some love now that I'm back. Here's a few pictures of my car on the trip.

Looking clean! Nothing like a 2200 mile trip to find all the quirks, throwout bearing and brakes don't seem too bad after a haul like that.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm pretty pumped nothing broke. I did have to slap a harmonic balancer on it last minute before I headed out but no real issues once on the road.

Clutch is the first thing on the list then rebuilding the suspension. I'm going to go ahead and just run through everything, bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc, and make sure everything is solid underneath when I get some new springs and shocks for the car.

Great looking car! I would really love to do the Power tour if it ever comes out west again. The last time it was here was almost 15 years ago and it was a lot of fun.

I got myself some brand spanking used coilovers! Koni Yellows, I believe UPR sleeves, and 350lb H&R springs. Need a good cleaning but overall I got them for a steal. Ordered some Maximum Motorsports C/C plates this weekend and waiting on those. Going to get some ball joints and front end bushings and do a rebuild on the front of the car very soon to slap these on.
