Hello,
Brand new member here.
Just bought a 2013 GT... This is probably my 10th Mustang, but first late model.
I like to join forums when I start a new project, to exchange knowledge and information. I have been working on cars for 20 years or so... started as a Mechanic, was a mechanic in the Air Force, now I am in sales.
So, about the Mustang.
It's a Black on Black base (and I mean BASE) model GT with the MT-82 manual transmission. Overall condition is good. I spent a good 6 months trying to find the right GT. Specifically wanted a '13 or '14, had to be Black (#2 Gray, #3 Silver), had to be a stick, and price was the next most important factor.
She's a one owner, sold local, with 47k on the clock. Other than ALL of the typical stuff on a '13/'14 GT, she's straight with a clean CarFax, and BONE STOCK.
I paid at the lower end of what I planned, even for a base model. So, now the build begins!
Being my first late model, I will stay pretty tame. Tried and true mods, and a complete black out.
Just looking to have some fun!
Getting ready to order a short shifter, clutch spring, axle back exhaust, CAI, and a few small items.
Next, plan to lower the GT, change the wheels, and do lower control arms and panhard.
As far as body, will remove the front bumper and modify the grilles, add a splitter and a few other mods. Plan a different rear spoiler, window tint, and some other visual stuff.
Would love to score some Recaro's. Might do the Corbeau's or something similar. What do you guys do about the air bags? (will the car recognize the air bags are missing?)
