So for thos ewho don't know I purchased a 95 Gt (makes like my 5th or 6th stang over the years) with 189k on it. It had been very well maintained for the most part. It has some decent upgrades and a mostly stock motor with bolt ons. But it's a very faded Rio red and I made sure this was one thing I could afford to do! The clear coat is peeling on the fenders and hood and the spoiler and roof the paint is basically burnt off from the sun. If nothing goes wrong I should be dropping it off on Saturday for a week long body shop visit to be repainted! Once she comes back I'm installing some smoked aftermarket headlights and smoked aftermarket (still oem looking lenses just smoked) 96-98 tail lights and 11-13 5.0 emblems in matt black with a rear lower valance decal in matt black and best of all, a 2.5" HO Fiber Trends 95 Cobra R hood :) I can't wait to post some pics of the before and after! If I can this week I will update the thread with some before pics. She looks terrible but should look awesome with the fresh paint! Currently the car had deep dish 17x9 and 17x10.5 10th anniv Cobra rims that I am not to fond of but they will have to do till I can afford new wheels or find someone to trade with lol.

I have been doing a lot of work to it including a tune up, msd 6A digital box, H&R SS springs, inner and outter tie rods, MM CC plates, explorer intake and lots and lots of replacing red painted interior parts with stock black parts and tons of other things.. I just changed the leaky radiator this weekend and hopefulyl she is ready for the 200 mile round trip to get painted and back home! Wish me luck :)

Thanks guys :) I'm pretty excited. I hate that I couldn't spend the money on another motor, but I have always been one of those guys where it has to look good on top of being fast lol
