well here is the build thread to chronicle the journey of Buddy going from a stock plain Mustang to something that I will love and forever enjoy!! Figured it is time I would toss a thread up of some juicy Mustang p0rn :hail:
anyways I havent done a lot to it yet but already have a bit planed for it, starting to plan the list for it, and first planned mod is a steering wheel upgrade (going to try to swap from the currrent wheel and swap in a 2005 + wheel)
I also have plans to lower it a small bit (no more then 1.5" and to swap out the K-member then swap out the camber plates and add a strut bar and maybe a few other things...anyways heres a few pics of the car so far, at the moment its in the shop getting a few minor issues resolved that were found at time of purchase
anyways here are the pics as it stoos before the mod, when I get it home Ill be sure to snap a pic or two when im not driving and its safe in the driveway (working on clearing out the garage to put the stang in it!
here is the first mod I did for it, even before I took it off the dealer lot!
Well here is a pic of the first mod I did of the shift handle, it was intended for an auto trans but meh
here is the car in the drive way with my truck on the day we brought it home!
here is the car just before washing to get the salt and crap off it!
at this time i am hoping to find a short shift handle soon with a shift **** to add on also, does anyone have and suggestions?
Im looking either at Americanmussle.com or http://www.mgwltd.com/ (i think thats the name, need to get on my other computer and look it up)
oh and also confirmed that my Stang has at least 5 months of valid rego for the state of PA (YAY) left, even though I don't need it I figure that will be a good thing for state emissions LOL!!!!
anyways hope you guys enjoy this thread!!!!

I can't wait to get the car back I am missing it really badly!!!!
