It's been 6 LONG months...

Rice_slayer · Mar 26, 2011

And I still can't drive my car full time!!! After being almost totaled, my car had to get parked as soon as it came out of the body shop, so I had no real pics of the fresh paintjob/new rims. Well, I got p*ssed off at our weather(we had +0*C temps for a week and this past week it has been -5*C and below) but the roads our clear, so I got a temp plate for my car and have been driving it the odd time now

. Here are the first REAL pics of it, excuse the dirt/water on it, I have been driving it a bit, but I did do a few things(although very cheap and subtle) to the car over storage. I bought a new antenna and homemade a shorty antenna out of it, got my new cruise buttons installed, Fixed my washer jets and fixed my wiper arms(they used to sit 2 inches high on the windshield if not more) and fixed the passenger door latch(was sticking out too far). Anyways, here's lots of pictures of my Mustang, and my winter/semi-daily driver Escape, and yes, the Mustang DOES need to be lower, but sadly, No money for it at the time :dontknow:

Very nice man...glad to see you're finally getting it finished. No comment on stance

Rice_slayer · Mar 26, 2011

I really hate the stance right now

. 1. The front tires stick out farther than the rears due to the tubular K-member+ stock arms 2. I need rear wheel spaces 3. I hate stock ride height, but as I said, can't do anything to it right now, other pressing expenses sadly. I miss the days of high school where every paycheque went to buying car parts, now it's every few months I can use a small portion of my paycheques to buy something

I'm Canadian

. I spell things differently, like colour, neighbour, aboot

But ya, the escape is a beast, it's actually only FWD right now, driveshaft is off of it because the centre bearing went and was making my seat into a vibrating chair. I think there is more front tire gap on my mustang than my escape though sadly...

Cancer is gone, new pieces of metal were welded in and it was sprayed with rust-protectant, never did get a picture of the finished rear end under the bumper cover. Temp plate means I have a 1 month permit on the car, so just in case it snows again I can still drive my escape. I usually just transfer the insurance over on the vehicles in spring/winter.

EDIT: Should also mentioned the reason why the 03 cobras never made it back was due to the fact that 1 of the rims was badly bent from getting hammered into the curb, and the other one on that same side got major curb rash. They don't make those rims anymore, and the cost to get the rims resurfaced(the clear coat was peeling like a mofo on them, pictures hid it well) was way too much, and I still would have had to find a new rim for it. The saleens have already grown on me, just wish my car was lower too
