I picked up a red 2002 Mustang GT Deluxe, 5 speed, 69,0xx miles last Saturday. It had 2005-2010 "Bullitt" style 17" wheels on it but I already scored a set of craigslist 2003 Cobra replicas 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear. Paid $4400 and drove it home on 3 year expired tags! The car has been no-oped in CA for 3 years, just cost the regular fees and a smog, but I ordered personalized CA legacy (1960s black with yellow lettering) for it too. There's a vibration in the clutch pedal, it's gonna need a throw out bearing. It's pretty clean besides one small scrape on the right rear wheel opening. I have pictures but they aren't web based otherwise I'd have posted them with this thread!

No I just don't care to use photobucket to host my photos. So much easier to add a photo as an attachment!


Your literally doing the same thing though man.. do just as you would here, click it and open up the page and post! SIMPLE!

Process:

1) Upload to photo bucket

2) Click photo to auto copy url

3) Click the picture button here and paste the URL in the box and done!

You can even email me the pictures if you prefer, i will put them up here for you. Pictures or not, makes no difference to me... just trying to help.
Whatever route you go, good luck with your car.

Having a photo bucket account or the like saves your pics in case you have a computer crash and lose everything (been there, done that). It's nice to have that security.

Also if you have an android based phone and have the photo bucket app you can choose to have it set up where your pics automatically upload to photobucket.

Quick update on the new ride. Windows have been tinted and I picked up a set of 3" inlet/oulet 40 series flowmasters that will be going on soon. The flows came from a buddy and already have turndowns, so I'll be ditching the tail pipes like my other Mustangs. I'll also be picking up an Alpine double din head unit with a 7" touch screen from my dad, he took it out of his '05 GT when he got his new Audi. The Ford 6 disc in my GT is dead just like every other one I've ever seen that's more than 4 years old. Other than that I picked up 10 quarts of Motorcraft 5W-20 oil and a Motorcraft filter for a much needed oil change, who knows when the last one was completed. Next will be tires from my chrome cobra wheels that are on my 98 GT, they will go on the 2002 once they are wrapped in fresh rubber.

Thanks man, your SN looks bad ass with the Legacy plate. I'm a huge LA Kings fan so I ordered GKG LA1. I ordered legacy plates for my daily driver too, ITWAS3-0, in reference to the Kings defeat of the Sharks in the 2014 playoffs.

Alright guys, let's quit with the sperm gurgling.

OP, nice looking car. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Since it's easier for you, just upload to the other forum, and copy and paste. That'll work out swimmingly.

The black cobra wheels won't be on for long, but yeah, way better than the S197 Bullitt wheels that were on it. I will swap my chrome Cobra wheels from my 1998 onto the 2002 once I get tires for them. I have OEM 17x9 front and US made replicas in 18x10.5 for the rear. I really like how the 18" wheel looks in the rear wheel well compared to the 17" ones. I also think the chrome wheels will help the car grab the eye a little better.

Flowmasters are on. Got my subwoofer, amps and capacitor out of my black car as well as some NIB parts I had stashed. I also ordered a OEM Ford Mach 1 grille delete, 03 Cobra rack, hood struts, FRPP clutch release bearing, FRPP pilot bearing and FRPP adjustable clutch cable.
