Just thought I\'d share, I know there are a few on here that would appreciate her.

Like I said on FB - you get a good +50 man points for that!

Got any vids yet?

You give us 1 picture! One bloody picture. I demand more now or ban. It\'s your choice.

Got to agree on both points here, +50 man points and more pictures or the big red ban button may be wielded around ;)

My dads was a 289, 4.7 litres is it? But he sold that as parts are hard to come by and got a 302 instead as there is huge demand for parts them. 5.1litre

Post by: B.Martin on August 03, 2013, 10:49:51 PM
Yeah thats right about 4.7, parts are a little easier to get where I am ;)

The 302 is basically a modified 289 apparently but they\'re both good engines, I\'m not a big expert on Mustangs so it\'s all a learning curve for me.

Looking good. :)

Yes, 289 and 302 are basically the same engine.

I have few friends who are Mustang enthusiast. And there is big concentration of Mustang here were I live. For example, original ´67 Shelby GT350. :)

What plans do you have for it? :)
Title: So I\'m cruising around in this...
Post by: Grant Monkhouse on August 04, 2013, 06:23:13 PM
I would leave it as is, and just drive it.

Around $5k but there is another $1500 outlay to get the wiring all sorted

This is what i\'m thinking, it\'s just a run around for now. I\'m going to save a bit more and get something good probably next year.

4 gears I think what will is asking

Ah, it should be 4sp manual. However some genius in their infinite wisdom has converted it to 3sp auto, although i\'d not have known this it\'s only because i was told. As i\'m living in San Francisco, it\'s actually not such a bad thing anyway.

Yeah mate, I\'ve been here just over 3 weeks! I left Cyprus mid April, I spent about 12 weeks in the UK doing some training. Now I\'m here!

(http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc23/BenNova/IMG_3620.jpg)

However due to the vintage nature of the car and the practicality of using it for what i do, a (difficult) decision has been made to store the mustang for the time being and i\'ve got something that is just a little bit more practical....

Are you planning to be an extra in a Missy Elliot video?
Title: So I\'m cruising around in this...
Post by: B.Martin on September 18, 2013, 05:57:51 PM
No, but i do plan to be going \'off the beaten track\' with some dirt tyres, a winch and some wheels that are much less chrome!
