Next goal is to go to the strip and just see what kinds of numbers she puts down as is.

Well time to get off my butt and start working on my baby

Just so happen to park it for the day and saw it roll over.

That makes something like 27k miles since I got it in July of 2010

That is the best-looking Mustang of that year I've ever seen.

Thanks guy. Lately she hasn't been looking her best. Probably the worst I've had her in forever. Still no side skirts on the car.

No sweat, man. My GT is aesthetically stock. I don't have any custom body parts whatsoever. It a;so needs a wash.

Unless I magically get the car painted before snow arrives this winter I might park it for the winter and get a beater. I just want to keep the car from rusting because there are a few areas were the paint chipped off to the bare panel.

You drive her in the winter? I need to repair some paint chip on the driver side door and some BB gun damage some ****** did to it earlier this year.

When I moved up here in the December of 2010 snow was already here and was only driven when she had to be moved.

Then last years winter I drove it when the roads looked alright but I still had my nitto street tires on and it sucked. So now I have all seasons on and only will drive it when it's the only vehicle available.

My dad stays at home for his business and only leaves every now and then so I drive his truck in the snow but if he does get out he is stuck with either the cobra or the corvette to choose fro.

Someone will look at the car today and give me an estimate for paint later today.

Also my dash has been cracked for what feels like forever and I plan on replacing the dash

First thing. I know some years (mine) came with a clock on the top of the dash and some didn't.
If I got a dash from either one it should fit right on in right?

Second. Were the radio bezels different on the two?

Third if the bezels were different on the two could I just put my current one in to keep the same radio set up?

Last. Is the VIN attached to the dash it's self or something else?

Only thing you need to worry about it the vin. That should be attached to the dash so you would need a way to swap it. Otherwise, any dash would be good to go.

Ill look at my 2 tommorow, but I believe you could get a dash from any 94-04. Im pretty sure my 95 and 99 are the same with the exception on the clock on the top.

Car is either burning oil fast or draining it out fast but I've gone thru 2 quarts in a month but a lot of miles in that month. And power steering pump is getting even worse to were I can not easily turn and apply the brakes at the same time. Also my subs have stopped working for a few days and I think I finally found the problem.

However on a good note I got 19.1 mpg on my last tank of gas! That's 5 more than normal!

Yes that's the fuse holder for the amp and I've seen it get slightly damaged but not this bad. Might as well relocate it while I'm at it
