Got bored before, shot a few pics of the Stang sitting in the driveway. Put a new fuel filter in it this morning, what a god-awful pain in the ass- even after loosening the clamp on the filter shield to where the clamp split apart, it still didn't want to come out of there! Little bastard! I won in the end. (And the clamp is fine)

Before y'all give me shit... yes I want to get different wheels, the Cobra knockoffs the car had originally were all curb-rashed and one has a chip in the lip. The tires on them would not have passed inspection. My dad had these 16" knockoffs on his 04 GT a while back for winter use, he passed them on to me for $200. I should pay him soon... LOL

The exhaust tips are crooked, whoever installed the system did a terrible job- 40-series Flows and a Frankensteined X-pipe with a leak.

This color seems to have a little pearl in it, it plays really well with the sun and the camera flash

My new clear headlights/corners/fogs. Lights/corners from ebay, fogs bought from CJ Pony Parts yesterday at the Englishtown swap meet. Finally I have two working fogs! When I first got the car, the drivers' fog was gone and teh brakcet bent wayyyy back b/c something hit it and the pass. foglight was there for decoration only. Also got the new running horse from CJ Pony... it had a Cobra in there before, I removed it bc it pissed me off (I'm big on "keep the GT stuff on the GT, the Cobra stuff on the Cobra")

I had one of these in high school... it was a white '88 and a turd on its last legs- but it still gave me all 15 PSI and it was the first car I caught second-gear rubber in! Picked this up at Englishtown yesterday as well.

Last weekend, the PI intake went on- huge difference! New plugs/water pump/thermostat while we were at it. Took off the old tints too, they were pretty badly scratched/looked like ass/poor quality and I couldn't see shit! I don't think I'm going to re-tint, I like being able to see!

Next weekend I'm putting it in a show hosted by the Lions Club- there's usually a good Mustang contigent there and I want to hang out and show off. The chances of me ever seeing another Stang my color are pretty small, and I think that's neat.

This is the car the night before I brought it home... Aug. 14, 2007

lol trav its all good... believe it or not they're snow tires (Dunlop Graspic DS1's). Needed these to get the car through inspection, rims are definitely on my "to-do" list.

Golddust... LOL I like it. Dont know if you're into wrestling but he was funny as all hell

thats where they got it from... they always screw with him about it. He's trying to sell it though. he wants no payments when he's out of the Navy, so if he sells the Mustang, and his truck, he'l have his bike and be debt free. so if you want another one, or know anybody who does... i know where you can go. LOL

Thank you for putting the gt badges back on :dancing6: It seems like you're well on your way to a sick car.

Red... 248A is that what was the GTS option package?

Lowering and rims are gonna be a spring-time thing, for the winter I want to get the front end sorted out (needs balljoints and tie rods) and basically just have the car mechanically sound. We can get to the fun stuff in the spring:)

badblack I'd kill to have 2 but don't have the space or $... got any pics by any chance?

And yep normal badges FTMFW!! When I was younger I thought switching them up was cool but normal looks a whole lot better. My car... it is what it is... and it isn't a Cobra! (That DOHC motor is something else though... I remember the four cammer in my Mark VIII fondly. I used to call it doing the "four cam jam")
