Pics of my Mustang..

[Stang 38L]

I'm bored, so I thought I would list mods Ive done and some pics too. I know with it being a V6 its not considered a "true" Mustang to some, but I have done a crap-ton of work... most by myself. Truth is, I was newly married to my wife (ex wife now) and I wanted a GT 5spd, she on the other hand agreed to a Mustang only if it were V6 and an auto. So I thought Id be a good husband and compromise.... well we divorced about 2 years later in 2002and Jill, my wife now, after 5 years of dating, forced me to do a 5spd swap, even though she cant drive a stick all that well... God love her.

I drove it off the lot at Kerry Ford on Tuesday, November, 16, 1999.

Some of you may remember I had vertical doors on it... well I took those off, they were a pain in the ass. I sold them and got some exhaust goodies in return.

thats a beautiful car man. v6 or not, i think it looks awsome. good job with it.:cool1:

[R825OH]

Yep your car is really sweet Tony

[cstreu1026]

Looks great, now all it needs is a turbo. :D

I always thought Ford should have built a turbo V6 like the GN's.

[04comporangegt]

That is one nice looking car. I have neons on mine. I don't always have them on either but when you do see them it is different. That is why I did it.

[Buckeye]

Man as good as you got the engine looking those stickers realy make it look cheep. I whould clean them off my .02

[Stang 38L]

Those stickers are gone. I took them off a month or so ago. :)

[BigBadStang]

the car looks great man!
doesnt matter what engine is in it, it is YOUR car!

[Smithr66]

I've never seen a V6 Mustang done up that well. Nice work!

[Bluecrew07]

Nice job man

[pegasus]

power adder yes
can you say super coupe http://supercoupeperformance.com/partBrowser.aspx?partId=580
there my boys in milford

[jaystang44]

Nice car Ive seen it in person once before looks good dont get me wrong but why did you decide to get pink flames? and why did you get rid of the lambo doors, pain in the ass closing them or Ive heard things like that can leak pretty easy. Just woundering.

[BillyBob]

Lookin great. Sounds pretty good too I think!! Although I haven't seen the intake in person yet it looks great polished from the pictures that I've seen.

[08 Vette]

Nice Job!

[MrsAPE]

From plain jane to wow.
Does she have a name?!
Different is always good.
Nice job.

Well the color sample I looked at in the House of Kolors catalog was about 1 inch x 2 inches. It looked more of a metallic purple when I chose it. Some light it looks purplish, others it looks bright pink. A new paintjob is in the plans... Im going to do some kind of flames still, but the whole car will be repainted. This will prob be a couple of years down the road, since its a fairly expensive mod (atleast 5-6k). I need to get sponsored :)

The doors I took off because they were a complete pain in the ass. I had no leaking, but you had to gently shut the doors and they would come out of adjustment and it seems that everyone and their brother had them at car shows....so I sold 'em.

No name... license plate says "U1ARIDE"... I guess thats the closest Ive got to naming her :)

[MrsAPE]

She needs a name.

[Stang 38L]

What do you suggest I call her? Not pinky :)

Those dorrs are a pain in the ass. We have them on some of our limos. Half the time the doos don't shut right. They always need adjusted. People go nuts over them. They draw a ton of attention especially on a Charger or a Chrysler 300 limo. I can't stand them...

[MrsAPE]

Let me ponder this. But a suggestion would be to ask the wife. I bet she knows what she (the car) should be called.

She'd probably call it "the money hungry bitch " :)

[COOP]

Nice!! I have always like the way your car looked....


Just curious, what did you do with the Auto that you pulled out of your car?

[Stang 38L]

I sold the auto to some guy in Cali off a V6 Mustang board. He paid 400 for it, then 850 to ship :)

Only thing I had done to it was a transgo shift kit.

[S197GT]

hey dude i seen you in mason a few weeks ago after i got off work, if i remember right you was in the popeyes chicken lot with a couple other cars.

yea I love the flames but the color im just not too crazy about. but yeah a paint job is not cheap, I looked into getting some gold stripes on mine and I got qouted 1200 so I scraped that idea. cannt wait to see it at the fall cruise-in....your going right?

[WARNOTCH]

lot of time in that car. good job

[Silver Bullet]

Nice ride... a lot of attention to detail and it shows.:bigthumb

[92coupe]

I have always like the way that car looks!

[Blacksunshine]

Im going to do my best to be at the cruise in. Exhaust is getting finished by Rob at Rigid... so that part will finally be buttoned up.

My wife is due with our daughter on Oct 3rd (hope she goes early)... if all goes well, Ill be there... possibly with her and our new lil stangbanger.

[Stang 38L]

Yeah, that was 2 sundays ago? If so, we were trying to get a video done of some of the cars in my club for future displays at shows.

[MrsAPE]

VIXEN...a shrewish ill-tempered woman is the meaning..female fox...sexually attractive woman are the meanings. I looked them up after the name popped in my head. But then, if your going to change things...maybe hold off on the name. She looks way better in person too by the way.

[Ryan218]
