Great looking V-6!

Thing is, if you save all the money you have going into mods, you probably could pay the insurance for a GT - lol

Should be getting my antenna today and then my chaser tail lights come tomorrow. will get those pictures as soon as i can.

and some people are just gay.

yesterday i went out to go get some golf ***** and i was going no more than 15 mph in an outdoor mall and it was raining so i ended up spinning my tire for a sec not trying to and someone called the cops saying a orange mustang was driving with excessive speed in the parking lot.

Dude, you must understand, that when you are a kid and drive a car that looks like that, you are gonna get nailed for everything. The car says "hey, look at me" and you know what, people will.

These days, everyone has a cell phone.....you are screwed - lol

so today i took my car to a family mechanic to have everything looked at and ended up finding out that the car had been in some type of front end collision which would explain the slight difference in color on the hood, front bumper and driver side fender. So i called the dealership asking what the deal was, i was told it wasnt in any kind of accident and i asked to get the car all re painted at thier cost. with me having my neighbor do it for pretty cheap. I havent decided if i want to use the money that i might get from the dealership towards some nicer painted stripes or actually get the car painted, what do you think.

Yeah it is a cop magnet but im not too worried about getting tickets. as for the white striped i changed my mind on those, Im going to go with a very dark gray almost black to keep the dark colors going with my car and to go with the all black interior. Im looking to get that done within the next couple of weeks.

Let us know how you make out with the dealer. They probably will tell you to screw-off and have no ownership of the situation. If the car is used, and has a clean title and checked out, then they really can't be blamed if the car had been in an accident previously. You would have to prove that they knew but did not disclose it....and they may not legally have to anyway.

This is why you should take a used car to an independant mechanic before buying it.

This is what I wanted to do but they would not let me take the car to my families trusted mechanic and i was not going to pay 500 dollars for another one to look at so i took it to him after i bought it and thats what i found out.

Oh and the dealership ended up giving me 300 bucks for it which is better than nothing. That will atleast pay for my neighbors labor charge for the paint all ill have to do is pay for paint.

Updated Plans:

GT500 Front end conversion kit
Cervinis Side Exhaust System
Flush fit louvers
shaker hood
mgw short throw shifter
S style chrome rims
12-14 inch metallic black stripes
