Default Been a short while, time for an update

Thought I'd update you guys on my ownership on my 96' Mustang GT.
Shortly after owning her I had her put in the shop for, throwout bearing, clutch, flywheel, and u-joint.
Since then I've driven her to Oklahoma and back without any issues and none since then..
Here are some recent pics for you viewing pleasure..








And my favorite pic

She photographs well. That's an interesting looking engine bay setup in there... Nice pics. Glad you got her fixed up.

I always liked that body style GT but hate how cluttered the engine bays look. Too much black plastic and wire looms and not enough raw metal up top like the 5.0s or the cobra models. I think they at least need an engine cover to neaten the appearance up.

^ what he said.

If you're looking for a project for the Pony... that's a good place to start.

BTW, how difficult was it for you to find the car in standard? I rarely ever see oldschool mustangs with a stick. Or... many mustangs at all, for that matter.

Thanks guys, I love her and it wasn't hard at all finding a stick shift in a mustang at all, quite easy actually...
Heres what I intend on doing, only with a different set of wheels..

I kinda like the bullitts on the black GT but that red cobra is SICK.

I'm a fan of the Bullitts too however you see them way too much.
Yup that cowl hood is sexy, however there are a couple other things I'll be doing... PI Swap (heads,cam,and intake), a 2in drop, and SLP Loudmouth exhaust

Nice looking `stang! Now clean up that engine bay. Clean engines have more power.

The new car does photograph well. Always did like that generation of Mustang.
