Hey guys, went through some pictures and found some old ones. I thought I'd share some from the day I bought it, to now it's current state. My wife came up with the name "lady in red" and it kinda stuck.
I bought it in April of 2010. I paid 19,500 dollars and it just hit 20k miles. It was basically Stock except for fr500 wheels, k&n intake, and a upr h pipe.
Here is the day after I bought it.
Engine bay was really dirty.
After a little cleaning the next day.
A couple weeks later I added Bassani exhaust and subframe connectors.
Probably within 4-5 weeks of owning it, I added a jlt intake, billetflow idlers, and a 2.8 upper. Had it tuned, made 455/479 sae.
I didn't really like the looks of the fr500 wheels, so I went with saleen replicas. Also added h&r race springs, mm cc plates, ftbr aluminum diff bushings, and a lpw cover. I had a mustang shop do the install. At the time Stock cover was leaking.
I also installed a gords heat exchanger myself.
And found out my fpdc was maxed. So I added a bap.
In 2014 I paid the car off. Then is when the mods really began. I bought a gen 1 tvs blower and a fore level 1 return system. My plan were only to run pump gas. I did the blower swap and fuel system all on my own.
Progress:
Then it was time to start the fuel mods...
I ended breaking the filler neck.
Pic after it was completed! I was a proud guy. My wife was in San Diego visiting a friend, this is the picture I sent her.
About a year later 2015, I bought some ARH headers and had them ceramic coated.
I had the well known shop APS do the header install. Maybe if it were today I'd try to do it myself.
This same year I contacted Steve and bought Mach 5 wheels.
I ended up going back to a rai.
I believe it was a year later 2016 I contacted Kevin aka 04sleeper about wanting to get remote tuned and switch over to e85. This meant I had to drop the fuel tank again....
I never thought I'd run e85. So I added aem 320e pumps, bigger feed line, and id1000 injectors.
At this time I moved the regulator in the fender and went dead head.
After everything was dialed in, I started getting tire rub on passenger side fender.
So I decided to roll the fenders. It took quite awhile, but slowly got it.
I also added amber tail lights that I bought from a member Blueline.
In 2017 I swapped out the Bassani tips for some SLP rolled tips.
This past summer, 2018 I purchased some wrinkle black valve covers. I haven't installed them yet.
And this past October 2018 I did my first clutch job. I had a promotion clutch in there previously. I had the shop mentioned in my thread install that one.
I'd really like to thank all the members on svtp that provide awesome help and knowledge. A lot of this couldn't have been done on my own without the help of you guys.
