new to me convertible gt

looks like some grizzlies were up in that interior doin the wild thing!!!

I had a 92 vert that needed a top and restoration. I got rid of it because of the cost of replacing the top. 350 or so for the top. If i tried to install it and effed it up, it would still cost me another 700 to have it done professionally. I said eff it and bought a hard top (coupe) for 1k and parted out the vert

verts = flexible flyers

I agree, but it's the first vert I get to drive and they're fun. the intention is still on to use this as a parts car for my 92 coupe. not sure yet if I'll be keeping it or parting it

jessemachone · August 16th, 2011, 12:23 PM

yeah - I hear ya on that. Cheaper to do the swap.

option 2, keep it for the wife and build a wicked turbo 4 for your car

ocejo · August 16th, 2011, 01:06 PM

that would be nice as well

00MustangGtPremium · August 17th, 2011, 02:35 AM

Sounds like the po was a real tool lol. I think that it would be cool as a weekend cruiser. Nothing much done to it and not really fancy. Thats what I would do.

ocejo · August 17th, 2011, 10:37 AM

yes. problem is we live close to the border and he had the exhaust done by a shop across the border that just hacekd up the car to get it to work......

00MustangGtPremium · August 17th, 2011, 02:01 PM

wow. I would have just done it myself if I knew thats what they were gunna do lol. What exhaust does it have?

ocejo · August 17th, 2011, 02:17 PM

guy said they did a 3" tubing!!!!!!!!

easy-stangkin · August 17th, 2011, 02:33 PM

Progress looks good so far. It really needs a good cleaning, but I like the paint combo.

00MustangGtPremium · August 17th, 2011, 03:09 PM

3in tubing? stock is 2.5 I believe. They really didnt know what they were doing lol

ocejo · August 17th, 2011, 04:27 PM

sonds really good but no low end torque.....

fb93 · August 17th, 2011, 09:38 PM

A 3" dual exhaust will kill power and performance on most vehicles, its simply way too big. A 3" is better suited for high horsepower or turbo/diesel applications. Go no larger than 2 1/2" with a dual exhaust on the GT, it will be plenty.

Stock exhaust btw is 2 1/4".

00MustangGtPremium · August 18th, 2011, 01:31 AM

Oh I thought the 5.0s were 2.5 and the 4.6s were 2.25. You learn something new every day

ADavis40 · August 19th, 2011, 05:55 PM

Restore that car man, has potential.

ocejo · August 19th, 2011, 10:00 PM

leaning more towards keeping it........

00MustangGtPremium · August 24th, 2011, 11:57 PM

It will be a cool cruiser
