Hello all. Name is James. I just purchased my first Mustang saturday night. Heres the details:

1995 Ford Mustang
3.8L V6
Automatic
Axle Code 8: 2.73 7.5
Interior Trim Code: 66 Charcol Grey
Exterior Color Code: Teal

I paid $1,000 for it. Interior is perfect. Exterior needs a new pass. Fender. But, she runs and drives. Glad to be here and hope for a good experience.

James

Oh, surely a V8 in the future along with a 8.8.

Kinda disappointed as the lower radiator support is pushed back(no actual frame damage), so I'm planning to replace the core support along with the headlight header panel and possibly the bumper support. My brother is selling me his GT split tri spoke wheels to replace my steels.

Luckily I found a local guy selling most parts I need for cheap. I will buy a new core support though.

I'll get pics soon.

Its a great platform for what he wants to do with it. He got a hell of a deal and with a little $ and careful planning it will be a great car.

Knew the stang would rub off him ;) Though he gave me a bit of a heckling for buying mine haha

I agree Ferocious, the hubcaps are hideous and the wheels sit entirely to far in.

Yeah, its a bit of work. I scored a hood, bumper, headlight header panel and extra headlights for $50. I've reset the gaps between hood and fenders and will try to reset gaps between the doors and fenders soon.

I dated a chick once that had a pretty big gap, it was like throwin a hot dog down a hallway. No bueno. Anyways, welcome to the site. Good luck on your project.

Yeap, guy said $50 and I about fell over. So, $1050 with cost of the car is still a steal in my books. Leaves me plenty of room for paint, etc.
