Daily to project: 97 GT 2V

[Makin-it]

Greetings all. Joining to make connections and learn a thing or 12 about the SN95. My boy bought this Mustang with hopes it was a decent find for $5k as his first purchase. 3 months later the #8 bearing spun and qued a rebuild. Decent little car when it’s not on jack stands. Look forward to reading and engaging where I can.

Hey… welcome! Sharp looking GT there. Don’t see many Gold ones and the wheels look good against the contrast. Sorry to hear about the motor, but with time and determination it’ll be a thing of the past. Couldn’t quite make out the plate, even when I expanded the photo. Where ya from? I’m one of a small handful of active members out here on The Left Coast (CA, specifically).
So what’s your plan to remedy? I feel bad for the kid and his $5k + all the dreams and wishes he probably has for it. For that alone ya just can’t let this lil’ father/son slip into oblivion. Adapt & overcome!!

Anywho, welcome again and keep us posted, especially if the wealth of knowledge herein can help. Cheers!

It’s coming around and we’re both enjoying the challenge; me more than him at this point. We’re in the Jacksonville, Florida area.

Thanks. It’s a slick little car, 10 footer. Catches the eyes of most at local car meets.

These sn95's are sexy! All the lines are smooth and cause the eye to trace over every inch with intrest to the next curve. At factory stance they appear ok, but a little money spent on wheels and creating a lower stance really makes these car stand out.

You got yourself a rare color. Very few Aztec golds made. Maybe the second rarest color they made if my memory is correct.
