  • (Build) 2001 Mustang GT

    Wasn't really sure where to post this. My roomate wanted me to help him post up a build thread of his 01 Mustang. He has had the car for a few years and wanted a place to document his progress. I'll start it off with what we started with.

    He bought the car from a mutual friend of ours whose husband had spend time tinkering with the car and had driven it since it was new. It was not in the best shape and had around 190,XXX miles on it. Interesting thing was that it had a 99 Cobra IRS rear suspension system swapped into the car. What was even more interesting was the price, V8, 5spd, IRS all for 2800 bucks. Total Steal!

    it needed Paint, a LSD rebuild, suspension bushings, and a racing seat bad. But the car handled pretty good and made enough power to get silly

    this is a video shot literally 1 hour after the purchase of the car.

    The rest i'll let him post as i wasn't present for most of the work that has been done since.

    For some reason The forum is not letting him post anything. So I'll just post what he was trying to.

    Spurge:
    I bought the car back in 2009. The whole car was built as a red-neck, 'Merica, drift *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*/missile car that ended up turning into a really awesome and well developed handling vehicle. It can slide very well well and still run a high 8 mins around the Nurburgring, as well as get me back and forth to work with the a/c still working.
