AustinX56 build thread( tina saleena )

[Austinx56]

So my mother bought me the car in 2007 when I was 16, my grandfather at the time had a used car lot and one night we drove by the lot and my eyes caught her. The next day I went back and sat in the car all day and we brought it home and i played with it all night. a week later she was mine but I had to convince my parents I would be responsible to have a v8 mustang convertible

FIRST NIGHT I GOT HER

Bone stock gt with white top and interior

my first mod was the mustang gt bumper inserts and painted the wing flat black, also x-edition was a local mustang shop's line of performance packages, mine was the entry level.. aka bone stock



same shop also did the boss shinoda's


painted my wheels


got a speedster cover for a pack of beer, they where painted green but i rocked them at times also removed the x edition for a cleaner look


painted the covers also got a lightbar and smoked cobra lights


got a set of bullitt wheels for FREE from a friend

the "show" portion is looking good, when are you starting on the "go". Funny enough I came across a pic of mine when it was bone stock. No tinted windows and the air cleaner was still intact.

 

[StreetPilot]

Nicely done, sir.

ive been slowly buying performance parts piece by piece, going to go with mostly chrome for the car shows.

i once had 2 old gentlemen ask me if my car was a saleen or a roush one day when i was getting a burger. i cant believe people come up to you to ask what a saleen is... uncultured swine. lol. but your car definitely has made its mark. i thought it was a real saleen until i took a look at your thread. now i secretly envy you because you have the heat extractor hood, its my favorite for our cars.

*attempts to use jedi mind trick to make you forget i envy you*

*fails frantically*

HHAHAHAHA adding to my sig. im in the saleen club of america and im the Florida assistant state rep, even other saleen owners think mine is real till I tell them, the heat extractor was my favorite mod, no lowering was my favorite but the hood is 2nd, makes the front of these cars looks aggressive
