Old member returning from playing with S197s

Howdy everyone.
Name's Leo.

Dropping in tointroduce myself.
Seeing as I just picked up my latest project.

Let's see not to indulge in myself.
US Army vet, Automotive, Automotive subspecialty in performance Tuning degrees. A few ASEs, a year working at Ford.

Now for the fun part.
I'll go in order.
09 Mustang,89 GT, 97 GT, 06 GT, 05 Mustang, 02 GT, 96 GT, 06 GT, 03 GT, 97 FB Formula, 06 GT.
And most recently 98 GT.

Bought it to build for something..unsure yet what.
Currently won't even pass inspection, but just happy to wrench for fun.

Had 119,998 when I grabbed the title.

Will be yanking the automatic immediately.
But for a clean title, stock engine with low miles for the year, $1500 was a good deal.
Even with two bad O2s.

Well I've rambled on enough, I'll be posting more later.

Just wanted to say hi, and tell you a bit about my current toy, and history of Mustangs...And that one Firebird.

Cheers!

Sadly I don't.
I think that was back in 2012.
I had my 97 with the 5.4 swap.And later was my 96 248a.

I'll get a picture in a bit.
Trying to sort the dead dummy oil guage.
Just my OCD over having a dead guage.

Also trying to establish if a full PI swap was done.
It has the intake. The oil fill on the DS.

But I don't feel like pulling the intake in the heavy wind.

She needs a little tlc, paint really.
Suspension is 18 years old.
Ricer taillights.
And automatic.
But first is the oil guage, and O2 issues.
Today I'm just getting my fingers all over stuff and as stated, PI swap concerns.
If so I got a better deal than I figured.

Oh, CC doesn't work, and Speedo is 5mph off.
Fogs don't work, switch doesn't even illuminate.
And I'm heading to the yard to hunt a turn signal switch assembly.
Turn signs work when they want.

But relatively small list for third owner 120k and 1500 bucks.
Manual swap I'll still be under $3000 invested.

Either use a hosting site like Photobucket and copy the HTML link from each pic or do what a lot of us do and download tapatalk to your phone or tablet and you can upload straight from your device to the forum

I had to laugh a bit at this as could you imagine what would have happened if handz were still here and read this?! Is there a way we can put it on his FB page?
