Hello all, new here to the forum, but have owned a mustang for a little over a year.
Ive done a few mods to my car, and plan on building up to a mildly modded daily.
Got this car in may of 2014 as a graduation gift from my grandparents it was a nearly fully stock mustang or so i thought.
First thing i had issues with was the cooling system. it ran very hot above 50 mph. the fan wiring was burnt up and someone rigged in a toggle switch off the alternator. so i removed that and soldered in a new Harness from the CCRM. Removed the aux trans cooler and installed both a new radiator and condenser. Which fixed the overheating issue for the most part.
The speedometer was off so i counted the drive shaft vs tire rotation and found out someone had put in a set of 4.56 Gears. That would explain the aux trans cooler. so i put in a set of FRPP 3.73 gears and that fixed the other part of the cooling issue i had. dropped the engine rpm about 450 RPM.
one night after work i spend a full 6 hours cut and buffing the original paint. turned out pretty good except for the spots where paints coming off.
Fast forward half a year and in Tech College i find a low mileage 5.0 for 200 bucks and decide to rebuild it for my car.
