My 95 GT Vert Build up

[lilj4u2njoy]

Alright well i have decided to start a build thread on here so i can track my progress and show you guys some of me and my style i guess. a little over a year ago i bought my 95 gt vert bone stock lowered 2" with 98k miles 5 speed tranny, very first day i got it i had to drop it off to get a new top and then some new tires...

Here she is the day i picked her up in portland, Oregon
(I know I know, it had all the cobra emblems on it, they are gone....)

My next major project was the side exhaust, i found the skirts from a guy and had them re finished and painted and professionally installed, then it was to the exhaust... FML it was a major hassle... long story short, i had it in the shop for 3 weeks after finding a top notch dude to do all the fab work and notching my sub frames and it turned out awesome... heres a few pics of that from start to finish

few days later....

After some progress...

Finished Product....

I love this exhaust, Love the way it sounds... its low, but speed bumps are manageable...

More to follow...

Next thing on my list was gears, my buddy and i installed some Ford Racing 3:55's, really happy with how they turned out...

after that, i found something i had to have, and that was a cluster out of a cobra, i just loved the white face gauges without having to pop my needles off, and the miles on the odometer were basically exactly what i have on the car neways... worked out nicely

i dont have a pic installed but it looks pretty good...

Next was some HID's from CPS, 8000k headlights with 3000k fogs...

im sure there are a few other visual upgrades like the 5.0 badges and such, just dont have alot of pics... but i did take some nicer photos and ill share them now...

Latest purchases include a trick flow intake, spacer, elbow, and valve covers, None of which have been installed because i just dont know which direction im going with my car, all items have been painted by me in the color scheme i want to go with under my hood...

More updates should be in a few days after i go down to Athens, Ga to pick up my new seats..... cant wait...

Nice car man! What kind of wheels are those? I THINK I liked the bullits in the first pick better but I like the wheels you have now too and its nice to see something different as well. The side exhaust looks great, what kind of mufflers are those?

 

[miss2slocoupe]

wow wow wow! i love what you have done! the smoked headlights made it look like a different car! and those wheels! and im soooo glad someone else has a 351 wing! lol i felt so left out because everyone has a s281! diggin the white faces too! im glad my car had them when i bought it, that would have been the first thing i did when i got it home LOL but i enjoy looking at this and please keep the updates coming

Thanks for the kind words, the wheels are riff racing 19x9 19x10, only reason I bought em cause they were sooooo cheap, and I needed the extra height for the side exhaust, and my exhaust is slp lm1 with a bassani o/r x...

thanks, not many people like them cause there not 5 spoke, or or normal mustang wheels... i dig em though...

 

[lilj4u2njoy]

NP i love the way it sounds... i always see on forums that o/r x + SLP 1's = crappy raspy sound... mine is raspy but not too bad

 

[Musturd]

I like em they look like a iforged or hre or something

 

[miss2slocoupe]

NP i love the way it sounds... i always see on forums that o/r x + SLP 1's = crappy raspy sound... mine is raspy but not too bad

my 03 mach 1 had a x-pipe with SLP lm1's and i know its a 4v but i think it will sound BADASS on my pushrod! LOL do you have headers?? because if you do me and you will have the same set up besides the side exhaust

 

[lilj4u2njoy]

no, no headers yet... im gathering parts for my build and want to do it all at once ya know.. but yea i will have some eventually...

 

[MARKCORE]

Sounds and looks great man!!

 

[miss2slocoupe]

no, no headers yet... im gathering parts for my build and want to do it all at once ya know.. but yea i will have some eventually...

well if you have a bassani x-pipe of course they are made for the bassani headers, i got mine for a steal!!! i got long tubes and my x-pipe for $300!!! the headers alone are 1300! and the x-pipe is 300 so i came out good

 

[lilj4u2njoy]

Imma stick with shorties, my car is way to low for long tubes... Just don't know what I want yet, all I know is on Monday in Athens I'm pick up my 03 cobra seats... Can't wait
