Yep ive finally done it and bought my dream car
when i was 12 (15 years ago) i bought the world car guide 1999 and saw a 1999 mustang gt in it and fell in love with it and my dream car has never changed since
ive been on the look out for this particular shape for sometime and after some asking about on the mustang forums a guy from swindon said he had a 2003 mustang gt manual he was looking to sell it, it had only covered 6,900 miles from new and has it imported from atlanta georgia and was a rare manual model, so last saturday i drove down there in the si to take a look and i loved it
Heres some pics of the mustang back in 2003 in atlanta before being exported
the reasons why it had only covered very little miles was the owner was a pilot and he hoped to use the mustang more than what he did but ended up living more in the states than the uk
But it had been left outside unused at a airbase for a long time so mould started growing on it and he decided it was time to sell and let the mustang get used......so i bought it
Its so original its still on the original tyres
heres the pics
When i bought it
Then getting it on my mates truck as it had no tax or mot
Bullitt alloys
interior
It was filthy so before i started work on monday morning i got up early and had to clean it
It passed the mot on tuesday but developed a misfire fire which ended up being cylinder 5 coil pack so i ordered one from my local motor factors for a mg zt 260 as i knew it had the same engine as the mustang and would be easier to find parts for it
Fitted some new 12x6 plates for it although im not sure how legal they are
future plans for it are to lower it and stiffen up the suspension with some bigger sway bars/anti roll bars to you and me
and a strut brace altho ive got to be careful with my wallet as 14mpg isnt ideal and after some practice it does standing still burnouts with ease
and it really shifts Will get some engine bay pics soon
it has criuse control, air conditioning, mach 1, 6 cd auto charger with built in sub, electric windows and mirrors, full leather and remote locking
i love it
