Talking well im back after selling my 08 v6, I upgraded

So I had an amazing 2008 mustang it was a v6 automatic and had way to much money into it. I sold it for 16500 and bought a house, i now have gone through 5 cars and through much confusion i have found the path and have now aquired my new pride and joy. Now the fun part is finding out all the mods and goodies the past 2 owners have put on. The car has 110,224 miles but after 1 day of driving it (owned it for 2 days so far) and the odometer doesnt move nor does the trip odometer. The owner i got it from is a good guy and i know them so its all good but he said thats recent and im trying to see if the computer remebers acutall milage? anywho onto the pics.

And yes i completely built my v6 mustang myself haha

I sold this and purchased a house... age 19

The plastic speedo gears in the instrument panel are likely disintegrating. My 97 did the same thing; I ordered a new set from Steeda (I think) for about 35.00. They come with instructions... Very easy to install. Took care of my speedo issue.

I don't think it is possible on the SN97 model Mustangs to retrieve the "real" mileage, because it is not computer controlled, it is mechanical.
