All it takes is time. A little elbow grease and ebay. Also, I get on line with CJ Pony parts, find what I want and pay with credit card and a week later I have the parts. I just browse and buy the small stuff. Like the correct screw sets, clips, etc. You don't have to do it all in one weekend. You can buy just about everything for our cars online. You have to start somewhere right? Before long you've nibbled it down to just cruising and enjoying your mustang. This is what this site and each of us are here for, to help each other out.

i have an electric choke, but no clue how to hook it up.....sad i know, but their is jus to many problems to list with my stang.....ill post a vid of a walk around/ exhaust this afternoon or tonight when i get done taking apart my 1993 cobra block getting it ready for thr long stroker
Your electric choke is pretty easy,, hook the red up to a power source that is on when the key is on, and the black to a good ground, it will work like a charm.

Well, mine, i put in a new interior and havent got around to come interior things, but my list includes:

Speedometer
Tach
Fuel gage
Burns some oil after sitting(valve seals)
Drums brakes kinda suck, pulls to the one side a little
Little paint flaws around the car
Needs a hood shim so the hood sits a 3/8 lower than fender at top drivers side.
Saggy exhaust because it neded to hang at a funny angle to clear the lowered trans support for the T5( needs exhaust fitment better)

besides that, its a fun car, T5 shifts good, rebuilt 302 hauls, 9 inch w/ 3.73's gets her going fast and gets all of the looks!
I hate talking about stuff like this because it makes me want to sell it! I was not sure if i wanted to sell it yet, but if i could get 8500$ that would pay off my 06GT and i can mod more into that, but i wont ever forget the time n sweat ive put into her! -Jon
