Default Hello

I bought my frist mustang in 2000 it was a 98 gt a college graduation present to myself. I loved the car but never spent the time to improve the performance although I really wanted to make it a hobby car and something i could improve and learn from. Unfortunately life happened I traded in the car for a 2003 F-150. Recently opportunity presented itsel and I purchased a 94 GT 5.0 with 60,000 miles for 4000 bucks. Unfortunately the owner drove the car very little and it hasent been up to operating temperature or highway speeds for a couple of years and the car has responded poorly to that treatment. I joined this forum for tips advice and whatever other knowledge is available.

welcome to the forums. Sounds like you got a really good deal there. I will move this post into the 5.0 section so you can get some expert feedback.

do a full tune-up. replace all fluids, plugs, wires, distributor car, fuel filter, drop in a K&N filter.

run some sea foam through it. (can get it at autozone, instructions on can or post back here)

good luck with it!
