Yup, up and running strong, though these old SN95's aren't nearly as smooth as a New Edge Bullitt, it's more of the "hit the nail with a sledgehammer" unlike the precision of the newer ones. Mine sounds better though.

Wait till I get my SLP LMIIs hehehe

one thing I found interesting about yours is how much heavier the clutch is. I'm assuming its not hydrolic and mine is. anyone wanna shed some light?

LOL, it's about time... get her running well, already. Surprised the paperwork transferring title/ownership wasn't completed shortly after the purchase.

I don't think the New Edge 'Stangs had hydraulic clutches - only ones I can think of with this feature are the S197's. Maybe he needs a new clutch and/or some cable adjustment.

In California a car has to be smogged within 45 days of a title transfer. Since the car wasn't running when I bought it, it couldn't be smogged in order to transfer the title, and therefore I worked on it until it could be smogged, so I didn't have to wait around for him to do it.

Now 6 months later it is ready, and will be smogged as soon as the paperwork gets here, since you must have the registration, and title present if you do not own the car.


I still haven't completely paid for the car (we're doing a half and half kinda deal [900 for the car then the 600 for the title when all is said and done] that way he still had leverage to get the money, and I didn't put 1500 dollars into something that may not have even been possible.) My parents idea, so I assume there is logic in it.


That should be happening as soon as the papers get here, so wish me luck.

Maybe mine is just more of a racecar, and yours is the baby, watered down version?

Wait till I get my Borla side exhaust.
(Should be here as soon as I sell my seats.)

Christmas stuff. Yeah, yeah, I know it took a while.

Stereo. Sony X-something or other. Kinda neat with a place for everything. iPod connector that goes to the glove box (then your iPod can be controlled through the head unit). Place to plug in a flash drive (the drive can have as much junk on it as you want. As long as there's music somewhere, it'll find it.) And an Aux port. Glows blue, which matches my newly painted calipers.

Jackets. 40th Anniversary Mustang Jacket, from Australia. Haven't seen one before. Then a leather jacket my dad thought matched my car.

Crawler and a rachet set. Gifts from my dad, because he likes helping with the car, and hates his own horrificly organized set.

All 79-04 mustangs had cable clutches his may be heavier because the clutch quadrant is about 7 years older than yours. mine was a bear to push until I changed that

Try http://superbrightleds.com and match with the bulb type/# you have in there. The best part, is they're dimmable. You may want to get the brightest ones possible because I heard the colors other than white aren't that bright. Someone I knew tried red and it wasn't that bright at all. I was going to try this myself... but it just never happened.
