Greetings everyone!

Bought my '95 v-6 back in January of this year. Really enjoying it, but she's going to need a tremendous amount of TLC to make her even more fun. Nice to meet everyone!

Thanks! I'm at the top end of a move right now; but once I settle, I plan to start doing things to my "old" car. ;-)

That shine job is not without a lot of work.

I was lucky to have found that '95 so cheap (at only $1800) with no rust and relatively little engine trouble (that's not over my head to fix). It's actually in really good shape, but still needs a lot of work. It's presently a daily driver. That paint job is REALLY cheap and not clear-coated, so I've gotta be really careful in it, and polish it almost obsessively.

Welcome to sn95forums!

What are your plans for the car?

BoozeStang · May 28, 2012

Well, it's my first one, so I've been brainstorming about everything from "cheap thrill" mods to total engine swap (which I wouldn't dare until the car was no longer a daily driver).

Still, that hasn't kept me from looking up "holy grail" stuff like a supercharger.

Having been down the "modding my car" road before though, I know better than to put the cart ahead of the horse. It's an older engine that would need work long before I started doing anything a step above "bolt on" improvements. Otherwise, I'll start off with easy stuff - cosmetic and an new (and much-deserved) paint job.

Nice stang there bro and for 1800 shit dude that's a steal!

BoozeStang · May 28, 2012

It was owned by a mechanic that did a partial restoration and just didn't want it anymore. I got lucky.

Honestly, so many neat looking rides that I feel like a Kindergartner at a university.

As far as "cheap" mods go, I'll go with the intake first, then a (much) better exhaust before digging into her guts.

Hey welcome to the forums I'm new as well. And with any project it's the goals in mind that makes them a challenge. Think about the first things you want to do tackle them and then move to the next ones trust me I have built plenty of cars and motorcycles and everyone one of them turned out awesome. Just plan it out right and BAM your car is complete
