Needed a v8 fix.
 

Call it a mid-life crisis, or just a deal I couldnt pass up on... I bought a '94 triple black GT convertible. She's really rough around the edges, but mechanically sound.

The good:
Newish top, headers, cat deletes and H-pipe... sounds and runs great. Drives really tight, not loose on the road at all (I was really surprised)

The bad:
Seats are bad, door panels need replacing, top motor is bad - you have to thump it to get it to go up and down... dont like the wheels... needs all four window regulators... paint is not so good either.

I did get the car for $1500 so, I am not complaining. Question... are all interior pieces pretty much the same up till '04? That should give me plenty of options to find new seats and door panels, right? I used to have a s197 and still have my old Bullitt wheels from '05 - but know they look goofy without a spacer, so I am looking for someone to swap for some SN95 generation Bullitts..

The car has a lot of pickup on the highway, but seems pretty sluggish at lower rpm's - could it be the lack of backpressure from the headers and cat delets causing a loss of torque, but gains in horsepower, or are the 5.0's just not very stout at idle - 2000 rpm? I kinda figured it would burn the tires a little at take off. (It's an auto)

anyway, looking forward to being back in the mustang community even if my little ride is a 40 footer (for now) :)

here's a pic. LOL

Congrats nothing like a V8!!!

Looks great. First thing I'd do is the 98 tail light swap.

Not sure if the door panels are interchangeable with 99-04. Just not sure. The seats should swap over with no problem. And that 302 is cheap to mod. Should be a fun project. :nice:
Where you from? I have a set of 17" bullitts just sitting in my garage.

Alabama. Guess I need to fill out my profile.

Well if you're looking for just a stock wheel nothing special. Ill sell you these for $100 just to get them out of my garage.

Awesome! wonder what shipping would cost (shudder)

How far are you from the Mississippi/Louisiana state line? Ill drive em there.

I am about 4 hours from Jackson, MS. 500 miles round trip, or 25 gallons of gas. Think shipping would be more than $75?

Welcome to TMS! :nice:

That looks like a really fun project really, congrats on that. Get those wheels from al, that's a start!

I actually like the rear lights.

Welcome to the forum. Nice find for he price you paid. Plenty of options out there to get you started.
