I have had this stang since September '08 and I've done nothing but repairs ever since. Its not as bad now since I've replaced alot of the major stuff. I own Risa's Rides (custom car parts) and have a ton of plans for her but everything keeps breaking. Just this morning the hood latch broke when I was checking my fluids. (I posted about that this morning so if anyone wants to give advise feel free)
Anyways here's what I've fixed so far:
-clutch ($500)
-new radiator and flush ($400)
-all four rotors ($375)
-leaky rear end ($100)
-heater core ($350)
-battery ($150)
-alignment (FREE)
-all four tires ($500)
Here's what I still need:
-replace gears on the odometer
-inner and outer tie rods replaced
-transmission service (dont think its ever been done before and its shifting hard sometimes)
-fuel injectors cleaned
-new shifter
-seal the gas tank or new tank (i never fill up cuz it pours right back out)
-new exhaust (running off dumps right now and fumes are killn mebut sounds good )
-alternator
-a new hood latch as of today
And I'm probably forgetting some things and this list doesnt include the cosmetic issues like the ripped seats and busted plastic trim all throughout the car.
Anyways, this is my first Ford. I had a Camaro before this but I've grown to like the Ford community and even though this 'Stang is a money pit it has alot of potential. I'm just ready to hook her up with some toys not buy replacement parts every week.
Ok, thats about it...thanks for reading my rant.
