97 Mustang GT Vert

[warstang13]

Alright guys figured id give a little bit of an update of my car. As of right now it remains pretty much how i bought it. Been having to catch up on bills for the last couple months. I purchased a set of wheels, and rear tires, still need to get my front tires. I have a few more plans for this car but for now ill share some more up to date pictures of it. Keep in mind, ive never been a domestic car guy, ive been in the import scene for quite some time, so things im going to do with my mustang are gonna be a bit different, but not out of line.

Alright so now that you guys kinda have an idea of where im going with this. I pulled the rear wheels off to test fit my new wheels, and i always knew that one of the rear wheels was bent so i figured thats why it kinda wobbled a bit. Well i took the wheel that wasnt bent off just to realize that one must have wobbled too because all the holes for the lugs were chewed up and not exactly round anymore. One of my rear axle dampers (quad shocks) is broken (my guess is previous owner broke it to fit 17X10.5" wide wheels) im not to concerned about it right now i dont drive the car everyday so when its on the road next it will either have a new axle damper or new lower control arms. Im an ex-miata owner so ive become addicted to turns, so thats where my goal for the mustang is heading, to beef up the rear end to be able to handle better, and work on the front end as well. Hope you guys enjoy, and any input you guys have is greatly appreciated.

Looks good man...what are the specs on the wheels? I'm not a fan of the universal lug look...but I dig the color and the concavity.

Looks good man , I love the look of a vert with a cage in it looks badass ..

JonBeast I'm also not a fan of the universal lug look but I figured why not, I wanted to do something different, but honestly ur car is the reason I got gold and almost had me buying fr500s and painting them gold. Spec wise the rear wheels are 18x10 et 20, the fronts are 18x9 et 20. Mrstangerbanger I have no clue who makes the rollbar it came already installed in the car. I've been trying to figure it out myself. The biggest reason I bought the car is because the rollbar, and exhaust note lol. And it was a steal of a price, less than 3grand for the way it looks in the pics. I couldn't pass up that deal.

I like it a lot man something different. Bit more low i think it would be perfect.

 

[MustangChris]

i like pic #2, awesome!

 

[JonBeast]

Nice! I dig it (obviously)...I agree with rio red, the front could come down a hair to give it a rake...or maybe its just the pic? Stance looks on point in the second picture.

 

[twovalveterror]

looks awesome man!

 

[Redford]

Those wheels are awesome!

 

[Valkyrien]

I am not feeling the gold wheels, sorry man.

Props for doing something different though!

 

[Tony]

looks cool.

 

[warstang13]

thanks for all the kind words guys. Picture number 1 was taken on a very unlevel driveway lol thats why it looks a bit off. Picture number 2 was taken in my works parking lot which is quite level, so picture number 2 gives you the most accurate idea of ride height and stance. Valkyrien everyone is entitled to their own opinions, i knew the moment i purchased them in gold that it would be a love/hate thing for most people. Personally i love them, id like it if they were a bit darker of a gold but i like them a lot as they are.

And thats all that really matters, right?

Think the gold wheels go well with the pacific green exterior. They are not bright, so they blend in great. One suggestion is to lower it a tad bit to really execute the stance to showcase the wheels a bit more, not slammed but just right. They 18's sometimes make the stance awkward if its kind of high. When I put the 18's on my car i'm going to have to lower it a little bit as well.

 

[JoshHooten]

That looks pretty sweet, its always nice to see one setup differently.

 

[warstang13]

Thanks for all the input guys. Its been a few weeks and ive gotten a few small things done to the mustang. Ive currently got a kitchen full of parts and the mustang is planned to go in next week to get the 4.10s installed, the diff rebuilt, and new axles put in. But for now heres a few more photos for you guys.

I won a ebay gift card through work. I have never been a fan of amber corner lights in my life, however once i saw the smoked amber corners on JonBeasts car i knew i had to buy them so this is what they look like on a pacific green vert. Sorry i dont have many pictures of them i just got them on last night.

 

[greenscobie86]

I'm feeling it! Looks great man. Colors flow really well and it's not just the same old thing thats been done over and over again.

One note: maybe just bend the hangers and bring the tail pipes a little more flush to the bumper?

 

[warstang13]

thanks, yeah i hate that the exhaust hangs so low, but im not to concerned about it because come spring its all gonna be different anyways.
