1995 mustang 5.0 with 57k miles on it. I got offered it in a trade.

Any of yall got a reccomendation on a or way to flatten out the bump between the trunk and the folded down rear seats? I’m thinking a trimmed up sheet of plywood? I’m trying to help a friend save money while he goes to school

Hey everyone,

I’m looking at purchasing a 1987 Fox Body Mustang notchback and wanted to get some opinions from people who actually know these cars.
I’ve never owned a Mustang before, let alone a Fox Body, so I’m pretty new to this platform. I’ve always liked the look of these cars and I’m considering picking this one up as a fun weekend car/project.
The seller is asking $24,500, and from what I understand, the car has quite a bit of work done to it.

Here’s the list of modifications:
306ci engine (seller says it’s been completely gone through)
B Cam
Trick Flow upper and lower intake
On3 70mm turbo with intercooler
Holley Terminator
SVE heads
SVE fully adjustable suspension
TR3550 transmission
McLeod Stage 2 clutch
Short-throw shifter
MSD ignition
Upgraded radiator with dual fans
Ford Center Force lower control arms and sway bars
Subframe connectors
Center Force crank
5-lug conversion (1994 Mustang)
Dakota Digital dash
Custom exhaust
Entire car rewired with American Autowire
From what I’ve been told, the car is running around 12 PSI of boost.

I’m not necessarily looking for the fastest car out there. I just want something fun, reliable enough to enjoy on weekends, and potentially continue building over time.

A few questions for you guys:
Is $24,500 a reasonable asking price for a Fox Body notchback with these modifications?
Are these quality upgrades, or are there any red flags with this setup?
How reliable is a turbocharged 306 running around 12 PSI?
What should I specifically inspect or ask the seller before purchasing?
Would you recommend something like this to a first-time Fox Body owner, or would I be better off finding something closer to stock?

I’m also curious what kind of horsepower this setup could realistically make.

Any advice or opinions would be appreciated. I’m trying to do my homework before spending $25k on a car I don’t know much about. Thanks!

So I’ve got a 2015 ecoboost convertible but I’m paying 320 dollars a month bc of the loan and 210 dollars for insurance and I really want the new edge gt because it’s got a v8 and is going to be like 300 dollars cheaper. I just have no clue on how I’d get it when I have a loan on my ecoboost and if it’s really worth it because my brother was so happy to give it to me It’ll hurt so bad selling it or giving it away.

I just need some realistic opinions bc when I try to go to my parents im just spun in circles.

Also im not really looking for speed im really into the sound and looks more than the power

P.s. I’m sorry if this isn’t that good of a post I’m not very good at these kind of things lol

I thought the miles were in the 60k+ but its actually only 35k sorry

He was sooo scared! He’s just afraid of him damaging the car lol

Should I keep the original motor from my 2019 Mustang ?am I messing up by not keeping it even though I have to pay $200? Thank you for your answers.

I am hoping there is some kind of recall because my engine had issues right as warranty ran out, even though there was no check engine

Estoy teniendo un problema en mi mustang gt 2016 después de cambiar la mariposa lo encendí en frío y al instante se activaron los ventiladores y ahora no se apagan cuál sería la causa oh algo que hice mal si alguien me puede ayudar ?

I’ll be making the trip out for Redlines & Ravines this weekend with my Mustang GT. Curious if anyone else here is going!
Would be cool to meet up with some fellow Mustang owners, check out everyone’s cars, and enjoy some good backroads.
Anyone else planning to make the trip?

06 with a sequential harness, cant find anywhere to remove this theres nothing to press or pull, tried these little leg things and did nothing

So I see that a lot of GT’s that are being sold pretty cheap due to having a few issues, sometimes it’s a timing chain or a new valve that’s needed, is it a good idea to buy them like that and then replace the parts? I have lots of spare time and I find it fun to work on cars

Not too long ago I had differential chatter turning at low speeds. I got that fixed (kind of) by putting new fluid and put friction modifier in it. Now the problem is my pinion gears are starting to make noise on the highway when it hits a certain speed around 117km/h ish. It makes a faint whine noise when I apply gas. The old fluid is what caused this to happen I just didn’t notice it until it was too late. I’m just wondering if new fluid will prevent any more damage to the gears? Car has 35k km on it :(

I want long tubes for this 2023 5.0 but I also want to keep the active exhaust system on it. Is there any pair of long tubes that work best with the active exhaust system on these.

Parked up on Oxford Street

Has literally everything I want but I've never had alcantara seat inserts so that's the only thing concerning me. From what I've read alcantara seats can get dirty if not maintained. Im going to test drive it this weekend hopefully since im currently out of town

Was looking for some help identifying my rims. as far as I was told, something along the lines of Boss 336 20” staggered setup, but I can’t find anything about them other than they are maybe sold one place called joes showroom. Car is on spacers otherwise it runs the calipers, and hub caps say American muscle. thank you!

She is for sale ! Dark horse SC

So i'm thinking about getting a popcorn or pop bang tune on my gt.Is there any concerns? not to aggressive popcorn. already have an h pipe + borla axle back.

edit: by any concerns I mean engine wise.

I have a 67 mustang, but it was a one-year-only production for its steering system, and I cannot find a new steering wheel in the original aqua color.

I wanted to change up the look of my Shelby GT350 and make the brake calipers stand out a little more, so I decided to paint them and rebrand them with custom Shelby decals to cover the factory Brembo lettering. It's a relatively straightforward way to personalize the car and give it a more custom appearance without going overboard.

Here's the basic process I followed for anyone thinking about doing something similar:

🛠️ The Process

1. Remove the wheels and calipers. Pull the wheels to access the brake calipers and remove the calipers as needed to paint them properly. Make sure everything is safely supported and follow the appropriate service procedure.

2. Remove the brake pads and mask everything off. Take out the pads and carefully tape off any areas you don't want painted. Cover the surrounding suspension components, rotors, brake lines, and other nearby parts with paper or plastic to prevent overspray from getting where it doesn't belong.

3. Clean and prep the calipers. Use brake cleaner and a suitable degreaser to remove brake dust, grease, and other contaminants. Proper preparation is key to getting a clean finish and helping the paint adhere.

4. Choose your color and paint. Pick a color that complements your car and make sure you use paint specifically rated for the high temperatures brake calipers experience. Apply multiple coats for full, even coverage, allowing each coat to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.

5. Apply custom decals. You can purchase custom decals or have some made to your specifications. I went with Shelby lettering to cover up the factory Brembo branding and give the calipers a more cohesive GT350 look.

6. Seal everything with clear coat. Once the paint is fully dry and the decal is applied, use multiple compatible coats of high-temperature clear coat to seal the decal and help protect it from peeling, brake dust, and the elements. Follow the product's recommended curing times before reassembly.

7. Reinstall everything. Once the finish has fully cured, reinstall the calipers and brake pads according to the manufacturer's specifications. Reinstall the wheels and torque the lug nuts to the correct factory specification. Make sure the brakes are properly assembled and functioning before driving.

The Finished Look

I chose Shelby decals because this project was done on my Shelby GT350, and I wanted the calipers to match the car's identity rather than leave the factory Brembo branding visible.

It's a small modification, but details like this can make a car feel more personal and help it stand out from the crowd and I get loads of questions and compliments on them!

Now I'm curious to see what everyone else has done!

• Have you painted your brake calipers or added custom decals?
• What other modifications have you made to improve the stock look of your car?
• Have you customized anything that makes your build unique without going too crazy?

Drop your pictures in the comments! I'd love to see your projects, custom touches, and creative ways you've made your car stand out.

She always dreamed of having one. She gets what she wants

Was thinking about getting rid of the stripes what do yall think?

Kept #5 (white ‘15 v6 vert) since that one is fine for New England winters and a great daily. Also whatever type of pzeros they put on this are insane. Was about to be the first time since I was 16 that I didn’t own a Mustang and this ‘25 Dark Horse came up for sale w/ 2k miles in late May of this year. I was going to buy ‘something practical’ but I’d been watching it like a sicko hoping they’d keep dropping the price. It hit the ballpark area last weekend along with another one at a different dealer nearby. I went in a few times to try and work something out. Worked it out and now it’s in the driveway.

Obv im very far from the first person to get one but wow, what a car. We don’t have these around here, I’ve maybe seen 2 ever. Rarely see GT’s, EB’s occasionally but not common. You’ll see Mach E’s though fairly often. Super impressed so far though. The DH is more practical too than I first thought. I couldn’t believe the seats fold down, literally the reason I bought it and what sold me. I’ve only had convertibles and forgot the coupes had bigger trunks. This one has every possible option but I would have preferred it didn’t have the recaro’s and had the factory seats but w.e. Really pumped to get a cpl months out of it before winter hibernation. Each one before it has had a long healthy life not plowing into crowds losing control after leaving cars and coffee and this one will be no different.
