New Memeber in Louisville
 

Hello,
1st post here. I've been a supporting memeber of the ford truck enthusiast forum for awhile, and I just picked up a mustang so I thought I would come join this forum.
My car is nothing fancy, 2000 Silver Metallic V6 auto. Gray interior. ABout as base as they come I believe. It has 191,000 miles on it but is in really good shape other than the driver's fender.
I am considering this a project car in the sense that I am trying to make it as good a car for as cheap as possible. I picked it up for $1300. I have $100 into it at the DMV, and $200 in parts to rebuild the rear end and do a drain and filter on the transmission. Rear shocks are included in all that. So I have a grand total of about $1600 in a running driving mustang with great heat and a/c. It has new tires and brakes as well, and the previous owner put struts on it within the last year.
I am looking forward to getting to know a few of you as I try to keep this car alive.

Good deal! welcome to the forums!

Sounds like a deal! Can't beat what you have in it! Welcome to MF!

Thanks fellas. I really wasn't a mustang fan at all. But I couldn't pass up this deal. Ummm....I think I have the mustang bug now.....damn and I am a chevy guy......Nooooo.....its so cold here on the dark side!!!!!

Oh yeah, I am rebuilding the 4R70W tailshaft bushing and seal as well. Damn hard to find the correct parts for that. I had to go to "Whatever It Takes" in Louisville for the correct bushing. Autozone sells a kit "5202" that is stated to be the kit for a 4R70W and it is wrong. I will get the correct part numbers later.

Welcome to the forums Ray!

Let me know if you need any help with lighting

Welcome

Thanks everyone. Nick, the headlights on this car a little foggy. I've used some headlight restore polish and just did a hand buff with decent results. If I get out the mother polishing ball with the headlight restore can I get these headlights looking a lot better?

Also, has anyone had any experience with the eBay headlight? $75-$80 shipped for new lenses with zenon bulbs installed is tempting. But I wonder how they hold up. Anyone bought them and regretted it?

Welcome to MF.

Welcome to the forum... sounds like you got a deal and well on your way....
