My First Mustang after a Long,Long,Long Wait.

Hi All
Paul From New Zealand.
Since I was 16, I have always wanted a Mustang and after 30 years of waiting, I finally convinced the wife that now is the time.
I have had the car for about 8 weeks now and I am still so dam excited about it.
It is a 2006 GT in Vista Blue. Just had new stripes and tint as the old ones were falling off. I just LOVE this car!!
Cheers

Congrats. Great picture. Are your rear tires smaller/shorter than the front tires?....

Looks like the ground curves downward at the rear and the rear suspension is extended down as a result.

Yes a few clubs in the main centers but none where I am. We had a ford day few weeks back and there were 11 Mustangs from 1965 to 2016, so are looking at starting a club.

Hi Yes. When it was imported in 2006/2007 it was converted by a New Zealand company, also has different exhaust, Shelby grill, airaid filter and has been chipped or something like that. Still learning.

I went into the shed and had a look, you are correct. The front are 245 wide and the back are 275 wide with different heights. Needs new tyres soon so will have to look at that. Thanks

The ground was uneven where I parked, nearly got stuck in the gravel. Not sure if that's why.
