pics of my mustang (56k... possibly not)
so I was typing up my little tale of ricery when it occurred to me that I never posted pics of my mustang when I bought it. Anyway, I figured some of you might appreciate it (Im sure theres some mustang guys around here)
Anyway, on to the pickshures!!!!
the day I brought her home:
sitting next to my old civic (man, I miss that car ):
some gt rear bumper sweetness (next up: h-pipe and duals)
And after thinking about it for a few weeks, I decided to do some rattle-canning (my work amazed the guys over at mustangforums):
Anyway, its an r-titled '01 v6 mustang (5speed)... the front and rear ends were replaced (which is the reason for the 40th anniversary hood and the gt rear bumper). I think Im going to get a mach 1 grille delete and chin spoiler next... this spring, Im going to cut the springs (believe it or not, its actually a safe and legitimate way of lowering New Edge mustangs), and hopefully get my exhaust done. Then, hopefully I can find some nice wheels (17x9 in front, 18x10 for the rear)
Hope you guys enjoyed the pics

RE: pics of my mustang (56k... possibly not)
thanks... as for the hood, there's three ways it can go:
1) I might paint the roof (I've been thinking about it since I did the hood and trunk)
2) I might get a terminator front bumper and cobra hood. If I do, Ill probably do the hood in solid red. Actually, I was thinking about an svt cobra r conversion (wing and all), but the more I think about it, the less I like the idea (unless I had a good 600hp bite to match the cars bark).
3) Ive been thinking about an m112 (svt cobra) blower; the conversion wont fit with the stock hood, so Id have to get a 3"+ cowl hood to fit the blower. In that case, the hood would look incredibly weird if it wasnt solid red.

i liked the rear but imo now the hood looks like you just fixed some dents or something with it lol. I guess if you followed the line onto the roof it'd be pimp imo.
Im not a mustang guy since I have a Trans am but nice car.

Oh, and as far as the rattle canning goes, it will look alright for a while, but don't think it will be on par with like PPG or something.

thanks, guys
Dont worry, I know Ill have to touch it up after a year or so... but you have to admit, for $20, it was well worth it
and lonewolf, I really want to turbo it, but Id like to piece together a kit... unfortunately, turbo manis for v6s are impossible to find (and Id rather not drop $5k on a turbo kit)... so unless I can find a turbo mani or find someone to make one, Ill probably just supercharge the v6. Theres a guy over on Mustang Forums with a 650hp or so v6 (using an m112 blower... obviously, the car isnt close to stock, but it shows the potential of a good blower setup). Really, Im shooting for 300hp to the wheels; I just want a car thats fast enough for me (I dont really care what cars I can beat and what I cant).

reaper, 300hp isn't out of the question, i mean there are 6 cylinders these days that do that stock. A buddy of mine built is v6 camaro and it makes as much power as a v8 camaro now. I don't follow stangs too well but i know of a turbo'd 6 where i live, its pretty decent, if you want i can put you in touch with the guy, just pm me
