over the past two days, i have been making trips through the middle of nowhere just going on drives to "Sugarloaf Mountain" which is the highest point in Florida. took some pics along the way. rolling shots were taken by my friend, who only had a 30 second lesson on how to use a SLR.

its hard to see the elevation change, especially if you're from a state with mountains.

Re: Ride through the Country

I didn't realize your car sat so high.

Stop drop & roll?

Needless to say, 2 thumbs up.

Re: Ride through the Country

Beautiful pictures, your car looks really clean and in nice shape too. I cut my springs, I can get you some pictures if you would like? It really doesnt ride worse.... I was only doing it so I could get my car back together though haha

Re: Ride through the Country

I haven't said this before, but I'm really impressed that you took a different route than most. Starting with a V6 base, it seems to be really hard for people to not strap on every body kit and wing made for our cars, but you've kept yours they way ford made it -- clean and beautiful. Props man.

Car looks clean man...but if I were you I would go to a junkyard and get some cheap GT wheels or something, or check craigslist, anything would look better than those wheels :confused1:

You can find stock bullitts with tires all day long.

I dig it! Nice shots man! Clean the inside of your wheels though, they look rusty...

Re: Ride through the Country

I liek the way your car is right now. A drop(cut the springs) and a slight spacer in the back will make it look TITS.

Re: Ride through the Country

thanks guys,

i want to pick up some 99-00 GT "starfish" wheels for whenever i start autocrossing. but re-doing my exhaust and swapping transmissions are my number one priorities. then basic suspension stuff.

next time my wheels are off, i will clean the insides. i just have no motivation to put it up on Jackstands just to clean the wheels.
