hey guys, I’m finally buying my first mustang at the end of this month. im 27 years old and I’ve been waiting most of my life to buy a 4th gen mustang.
Its a 2003 mustang with the 3.8 V6 180k Miles, with a manual transmission. My plan is to drive it for fun and get my hands dirty maintaining it while I save money and gather parts to swap out the engine and transmission. I’m almost completely sold on the 5.0 Coyote engine with the 6-Speed transmission.
Before you guys jump in with your logic, I want basically everything to be new besides the shell of the car. I don’t care if I have to buy every single other part. I say this because my buddy told me to buy a GT so I can get some of the parts I’ll need with the car. I don’t want to do that, I want basically everything to be brand new besides the bones of the car. I also have another vehicle to drive while I’m working on the mustang.
That being said, I want to document everything I do just for fun, advice, and to help somebody out if they’re having the same problem or having trouble with a similar repair.
Long intro to a simple question.
what would be the best section for me to start this thread in? 1999-2004 mustang>4.6 section? SVT section? Please let me know so I can get started.
