What's up yall. I have a 05 V6 Convertible that was involved in a pit maneuver and smashed into a concrete barrier. Then while it was in impound the top was left open. For 6 months. They released it to an auction house and sold it for $400 to a fella that ran into my 2001 pontiac grand am that was hitting 250,000 miles and still getting 30 mpg. He didn't have insurance and I just told him I was not gonna involve the police.

He asked me do you like mustangs... well hell yeah. . . . Pic # 1 what i got.....

It took me 4 hours to get the top raised with a 4" steel pipe. And alot of grunting and foul words...


I had guard frogs patrolling the mustang.. they were living in the ponds in the floors. I had a rat that looked like he was on the movie graveyard shift...jk. but he was big, living under my plenum. And alot of water damage to the electrical system.

I have done plenty of work to it and have plenty more to do. I recently bought an 05 coup v6 as a donor. Paid $400 already paid for its self. Today I was focusing on the evap system. But i will have pictures on my profile before and after.

Im currently running:
245/45R19x10.50 front
285/35R19x10.50 Rear

Moving up to:
305/35ZR19x10.50 front
315/35ZR19x10.50 rear

For it to be a v6 it pulls hard enough to break loose. And it loves the higher rpms. Thinking its modded computer wise. Its a very obnoxious vehicle running straight pipes. I love it.

And there will not be front fenders put on. This is all nor the ground effects. Im going to fab my own sheet metal and the metal will follow the contours similar to that of rock crawlers.
