In the winter of 2011 I was hit by another driver on the pass. side. When going to pick up the replacement door and fender, I found the guy had a whole black leather interior also. I purchased the interior, and the body panels, and proceeded to do a interior swap. I then took the insurance check, and had the whole car repainted with some small custom touches.

In the winter of 2012 I purchased a 99 GT roller to flip and found out it had URP suspension parts. I swapped in the URP front coilovers, Tubular K member, Tubular A Arms, Rear Control Arms, 4 Bolt Camber Plates, and Exhaust. I like that setup a lot, but the rear was too bouncy for my liking.

[QUOTE="SVTstang96, post: 1205233, member: 12407"] Here is a short bio of the car. I purchased it in 2009, and drove it for a while.

I then left it as it was, enjoyed it and maintained it with some small mods like a King Cobra clutch and a full stereo system.
