Default I bought one. PICS..

Ive wanted a 5.0 mustang for a year and a half or so and i finally got one this past week. I paid 4800 which may be a little much but it is very hard to a decent sn with a 5.0 in these parts. This is the first mustang ive driven and im 17 so this thing feels so quick.

Its a 94 gt. The guy i bought it from did not do all the mods so im still not sure if im full aware or what all it has. Heres what i know it has... Trickflow intake-CAI-e303-bbk 65mm tb-crane ignition box-3.73s-longtubes-offroad x-mac catback. Thats all i know that it has. there may be more. 126,xxx miles(odo quit on me on the way home) Pictures...





(buddys truck)

and im an idiot. I didnt get the parking brake all the way engaged and i left it in neutral. rolled in to the explorer and chipped the 2 month old paint. if anyone has a cheap fix lmk,

here is one of my first projects. I want to hook back up the cruise and the egr. nimrod welded the egr up.

The car looks real good. I take it, this is the one you were looking at last week. It's real clean too. Although I would personally look for some GT emblems to throw back on, looks a bit plain on the sides. Also, how is it running? I bet you're having a blast. Now would be a good time to give the car a full tune-up. Add new plugs, fuel filter, oil change, possible rotor and clean out the mass air flow sensor. Again man, congrats on the purchase and welcome to the 5.0 club

lol those are concrete boots i had just got done washing off.

I have always used ebrake and put it in gear when i park a manual. I had just brought the car home so i pulled the ebrake and put the thing in first. Apparently i didnt have the brake far enough back and it wasnt in gear at all. I deffinatly learned my lesson. It could have been worse
