Pics of my car
Certainly unique until now. I will lower the car soon but first I have to sell a few parts which are up for sale already because I have a small budget for the cars. This car is getting all of the budget (car mod budget) that would normally be used for my 2003 cobra which is sitting in the garage. Maybe I will get a 5.0 convertible to replace both cars because that will be cheaper in the long run.
Nearly stock:
I think it still looked good. More to follow on the interior including a video on the modified Nav/electronics system with EUROPEAN NAVIGATION SOLUTION.
Let me know what you think (beside the 4x4 ride height).

I visited Heidelberg several times while i was stationed in Schweinefurt (not sure on spelling) from 73-75 while in the Army. Its a beautiful city . Did you get a SCT tune yet? and if so, have you checked the top speed on your Mustang yet? Just checking....I found a video made by someone on youtube that lived in Europe. His V-6 did almost 160 mph with over 3/4 of a tank of gasoline in the tank . Just wondering....

Well thanks for the compliments. I was bracing for harsh criticism for the ride height and the V6 (which I love by the way). I will not mod the car for better performance outside of rear gears which was my mistake for not optioning the car with 3.31s. I haven't seen one that looks like mine yet especially with the carbon vinyl.
A couple of new projects (brake upgrade/suspension upgrade) and the video of the European nav solution soon. Let me know if you want to see some autobahn cruising (low flying) in the vid instead of the route simulation.

I was at Conn Barracks. I lived off post in a little town called Graffenreinfield ( I can't even come close to spelling this town right ) The best years of my life. I miss the food so bad. If i ever won the Loto, i would fly to Germany once a month, just to eat the food .

very nice
the hood spears and the black FR500s?, GT4s? really tie it all together, the "almost stock" pic looks unfinished but the combo you have now looks great.
did you consider covering the top of the spoiler? Not that i think it needs it, just wondering what it would look like. i.e. something on the hood, something on the roof, something on the rear deck

Interesting. They were going to close it in 1998. I know they closed Wuerzburg. I went to Schweinfurt Middle School back when I was younger

That is one sexy son of a gun!!! When I bought my car I was dead set against Grabber Blue. Boy was I wrong. You and others have shown me what a great color it is. Of course studies show that Kona is 7% faster, or maybe I just pulled that out of my ****! BEAUTIFUL CAR!

Thanks again for the compliments.
I am working on how to blend in the top of the spoiler without over dressing the car in carbon vinyl. I have a vision that will work just fine. I will post new pics soon.
Greetings from Germany!!
I am so amazed how much attention the car gets. I tell everyone that it is the baby pony of the mustang bunch. They are still impressed. Some people's reactions are quite funny when they discover it parked amongst other cars like they discovered gold.

Same to you. Btw we used to pulverize heidelberg in football . Do they still have a large gang presence there?

Nice, the FR500s flow pretty good with that body style.
I spy a vette (z06?) in the background of one of those photos too. How rare are american cars like the mustang and vette in germany? Has to be a meet of some type.. or just freak coincidence.

This is the first time I've seen hood spears with "Mustang" on it

You are right, that is a friend of mine with his C5 corvette. I will post a few more pics later.

There are lots of american cars in Germany and europe as a whole. True there are a lot less since the military drawdown started after the fall of Russia and the Cold War ending. Many europeans love american cars and there are quite a few and car clubs as well.
