The truck like grille/hood, the flat boxy sides, on and on, so the 2005 is not perfect, but it sure is a Mustang.

Sooner or later, I was going to try a touch-up with white-out; today was the day (software updates gave me time on the board) after over a year knowing what it was going to look like.

So what's the point?

I had to get this out of my system, had to show someone what minor changes could of, would of done. That the headlights look like an elderly asian person or a sad angry person squinting.

I could not even figure out how to paste the two side togeter in a program, I am forever a "cut & paste" guy with markers and white out - sorry.

I am having problems posting images, click here:

PS: If some one wants to edit the j-pegs and re-post it as one image, knock yourself out - cheers.

 

I can't access the photos. I think the '05 is perfect.

 

i can't access them either, very interested in seeing what you did because from your description i am kindof lost.

 

One more try.

 

From two years ago, when I bothered to actually draw.......................these were trace-overs from the cover of Motor Trend.

 

Good, hope you buy one....................I'll see you on a twisty road one day and wave from my 28 year old old Porsche, which will probably still handle better.

 

i would hope it would for how much some people pay for them. It is a Porsche!

 

Your alterations are. . . interesting.

 

Here you go...

 

We'll be sure to wave to you as we pass your 30 yr old Porsche broken down on the side of the road. I'm sure your g/f will appreciate the lift in a car that actually has a functioning stereo, and heat.

Of the top 15 problems found on early 911, the following might be applicable to a '77 911S.
Throttle linkage damper failures
Pulse type electric fuel pumps
Electrical grounds and connectors (early '77)
Chain Tensioners
Clutch designs and actuation systems (all years)
CIS air box breakage from backfires
CIS fuel pump relay failures
CIS warm-up regulators
Fuel system check valve failures

The non-galvanized bodies often had grounding problems in their electrical system as well as general connectors due to corrosion. More and more relays were added during the '70s to help compensate for the large distances between the battery, switches and various components.

 

Where did that come from? I am sure we can find plenty of people to pick on your Contour.

 

Thank you "holderca1", dang you are quick.

I have two old cars, but drive only 5,000 miles a year(walk to work)........mostly to the golf course. Despite not having a real need for a new car, the lure of the Mustang is strong (tired of the old stuff needing constant repairs). My first car was a 1966, I must be having a mid-life crisis. B)

 

Dang SVTJayC, that's my car to the tee.............except that 1977 was the first truly fully galvanized year.

 

Found this on the Photoshop forum. Is this kinda/sorta what you had in mind? It is no improvement, in my opinion. I guess some of us are kindled by nostalgia, and others want more of a "progression" of style. To each his own, but I wouldn't be obsessed with the Mustang without Ford's look backward in style. I never even had any feelings for the '93-'04 Mustangs. The '05, however, will be difficult to improve upon.

 

backafter20, that is a very interesting picture. I'll be sure to check out the photoshop section soon.

 

that thing looks like an Audi.

 

^ I was just about to say that. That's like the front end of the TT or something. Give me those Boss headlights from the GT-R and the front end would be "perfect."

 

I think this is more what he is talking about...whiting out the turn signals...

(sorry for the quick chop job)


Could be wrong...

 

I did that one, just wanted to see what the 05 stang would look like with a more aerodynamic front end, the new mustang looks much better in person and I would not change it...much...

 

The only changes I would make on the front end, is colored headlight buckets and move the fog lights down where they belong.
