Will Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) This is my 1994 Mustang GT. It belonged to my older cousin who I was very close with. He lost his life back in 2009 and wanted me to have the car. He bought it back in 1999 with 53k miles on it. It was like new and he really did love this car. I guess it was just fate with how it ended up. As a young kid whenever I would travel to Washington for the holidays I would ask to go for a ride in it. Basically, at the time this car was just plain badass in my eyes. I thought it was fast and cool and wanted one just like it. He had fun with it for a few years and one day the rear tire went flat and someone stole the stock cats out of his shop. He couldn’t renew the tabs due to strict emissions and he just forgot about it. It just sat there with the spare on and the flat tire in the trunk. The car sat for 7 years beside his house in the weather from 2003-2010. At that time I drove a really clean porcelain blue 1998 VW GTI VR6 that was my first car. My VW was all stock when I bought it but I lowered it, installed Magnaflow exhaust, and some other stuff done to it. It was like brand new up until the day I sold it; I took good care of that car. I went to car meets with it and met a lot of cool people. I decided to sell my GTI and use the money to fix up this Mustang that had so many memories and it just felt like the right thing to do. When something tragic happens you have to find a way to make something good out of it. I guess this was a way for me to give back to my best friend. When I got the car in 2010 it had 94K miles on it and the paint was shot and the car just looked horrible. it wouldn’t start because of a dead battery and it hadn’t had a car wash in 7 years. The first thing I did was changed all the fluids and make sure the car was able to be driven. I called around to some paint shops and got price quotes and ended up getting the car painted at Maaco. I purchased the highest quality service they offered which was their signature service. Since I sold my car this was and still is my only transportation so I needed it road ready and dependable. Here is a list of work I have done thus far.Detail work:- Upper engine bay washed and dressed. The Interior shampoo and dressed. The Paint buffed and waxed. The Exhaust tail pipes polished. Engine Maintenance:- Motor Oil and filter- Transmission fluid- Radiator Flush- Brake Flush- Power Steering Flush- New battery- Spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, coil- Oxygen sensors- Coolant sensors- Thermostat,- PCV valve- K&N Air Filter- Clutch CableSuspension:- Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates- Crossed drilled and slotted Rotors- H&R rear wheel spacers- H&R lowering springsExterior:- Painted base coat clear coat urethane factory OEM Black.- Removed hood pins & filled holes- Repaired stress cracks in front bumper- Repaired dents - New badges and emblems - Stainless steel bumper letter inserts.- New headlights- New taillights- New reflector lensesInterior:- Window tint all aroundDrivetrain:-3.55 gears with speedo calibrator-Rear differential fluid change with gasketExhaust:-Stock Catalytic converters with deleted mufflersWheels:-17x8 Tribar’s (OEM)-17x8 Bullitt’s (03-04) - currentOther Parts:- Spare Tire, Door lock cylinders, Ignition switch, Turn signal switch, Radiator cover decal, brake pads, fuel neck grommet.Sold items:-O/R Hpipe with Flowmaster mufflers-17x8 Cobra wheels (94-95)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My VW GTI VR6http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/e16797d6-246f-4a44-8f7b-790eafe109a8_zps9a92a84e.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/b0b28f67-ce45-44fd-9f7d-c09ebf44f2d6_zps6299cac5.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/de2c5747-eb62-41a3-9351-49aca56cffa8_zps4f68c123.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/5f9dfdc4-e759-43b1-99db-699462293213_zpsaa6f3608.jpg.html"][/url]Before Pictures of the Mustanghttp://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/Mustang%20Before/458808ea-778d-44b0-b076-13369b5d9ff8_zpsd66dab13.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/Mustang%20Before/DSCN2113_zps828546b8.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/Mustang%20Before/IMG_2399_zps9069997f.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/Mustang%20Before/IMG_2402_zpsb64315e6.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/Mustang%20Before/DSCN2142_zpsa2ffc6a0.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/Mustang%20Before/9360d412-ee64-4359-be6a-55c3ef3783a9_zpsdf35eea2.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/Mustang%20Before/DSCN2116_zps21f8e2ba.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/Mustang%20Before/DSCN2115_zps89d44a13.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/GTI%20VR6/Mustang%20Before/8ba52914-c2ce-496e-81df-16e19271908f_zpsec6a7cd0.jpg.html"][/url]Fresh Painthttp://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/Mustang%20After/1_zps6b55a839.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/Mustang%20After/4b3b4b3f-0b7d-40a8-ac0e-36688c0acd03_zpsb692fd9f.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/Mustang%20After/dd7f92fc-5922-4a17-af24-0d06f6d37bbf_zps14d7bd91.jpg.html"][/url]At the shop getting some TLChttp://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/Mustang%20After/34eb2f0d-8656-4f08-8ce7-1d7998672e54_zps57c95815.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/Mustang%20After/10_zpsf056aa4a.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/Mustang%20After/2_94GTRacing355positrack_zpsc7558e08.jpg.html"][/url]http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/grn67dmc/media/Mustang%20After/d694855a-eda0-4d73-b8f2-1fbc909d057a_zps3b55a8b8.jpg.html"][/url]- - - Updated - - -Pictures with the 94 Cobras.

Will Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 June 12th 2013I polished my stainless tailpipes today using SOS steel wool pads and noticed the inside of the Bullitts were pretty dirty. Many miles of brake dust and road grime. I took them off and did some steel wool scrubbing.
