I just bought this GT this past Sunday as a Happy Birthday gift to myself. This is my first Mustang, but I have owned many Fords over the years, including my first car, a 2002 Ford Focus that I have owned for 11 years that has (had) a ton of mods, but is unfortunately being parted out to fund this project.It's a Deep Forest Green 1994 GT with a T5. I drove 2.5 hours to Chicago to buy it, however Carfax shows it spent all but about 4 years of it's life in Virginia Beach and down in Florida, so it's pretty clean underneath, however the car as a whole needs a little bit of TLC. It currently has 91,xxx miles.At the time of purchase it had an MSD ignition box, cap, rotor and wires, an F-303 cam, a Pypes O/R X-Pipe, some variant of Flowmaster mufflers, and 03/04 Cobra wheels.I've picked up a few goodies for it already that will be showing up in the coming days including:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hurst 391-5033 Short Shifter</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">275/40R17 Federal Evoluzion ST-1 Tires</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1" Hubcentric Spacers for the rear</li> </ul>As far as items that needed to be fixed, here's what I have so far:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A pair of new interior door pull trim panels</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">New driver's side window regulator/motor (the old one clicks and knocks if you hold the button after it's all the way up or down)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">New hood pop lever (old one is broken)</li> </ul>It also has a really terrible rev hanging issue between shifts where the RPM stays the same or will even creep up by 100-200 RPM. From what I've read it's likely the tune or something to do with the IAC valve. I'm going to do some diagnosing this weekend.It needs a little bit of PDR work along with the trunk needs to be repainted; at some point along the line a previous owner tried buffing the car and burned through the clear coat on the top of the trunk lid, so I will likely delete the spoiler at the same time. I want to turn it into a fun cruiser and twisty road car with the option to take it to a track day or two at a road course. I'm not going the typical Mustang route which seems to be staggered wheels, 315s, Flowmasters, a cowl hood and hood pins.Unfortunately I only have one photo of the car on the trailer and a video of the car idling. I will post some new photos when I can!<a href="https://flic.kr/p/RoK1xk" target="_blank"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7915/32418836177_3f282b5a39_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Untitled</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/trailbikerider/" target="_blank">Blake Nichols</a>, on Flickr[MEDIA=youtube]lwbE6ZSDJP8[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
