Off to the shop ... before pics and after when she's back

adryan · October 24th, 2010, 05:19 PM

After the car-shaking experience on friday and a whiplashed neck still simmering, I'll be taking Sally III to the shop tomorow. Thanks to full coverage insurances on both parties, she'll be taken care off properly. Off the bat, I need her inspected. If there are no mechanical issues then a GT bumper gets slapped on, stone-chipped hood gets re-finished and I'll get a chin spoiler and tints installed... hopefully at a discount.

Here she is "BEFORE" i'll post later pics when she's back.

cool, cant wait until we get the after pics

Six Banger · October 24th, 2010, 06:41 PM

is insurance "covering" the cost of the stone chips?

adryan · October 24th, 2010, 07:00 PM

Taking it to their shop and having them charge the insurance whatever for rear end body work does help on discounts on having other things done... stone-chips "insurance covered", no... not that I know of... but it may be.

Well here she is after I left the shop...

lol... Actually is the rental rental they gave me (same as pic)... 2010 Charger 3.5 High Output... auto (sucks)... Been drivin it for 2 weeks now but at least I can have breakfast on the way to work, coffee and smokes. (I actually stopped buying and drinking the cofee on the way to work when I got Sally03... found out the hard way).

The guys doing my Sally03 are at SEMA right now and my bro spoke to the guys and told him they hooked on the GT bumper I requested and did the hood too. I asked them to hook me up up with tints and said he'll see. So I'll find out later.

Will call again tomorrow first thing and see if my baby is good to go.

Hey at least you get a nice rental car. Last rental car I got was a 98 Chevy Cavalier. And that was last year. Those cars Suck ass! lol

adryan · November 21st, 2010, 05:16 PM

Well... after a few weeks at the shop, I finally bot my baby back. I'd like to thank the guys at the shop for doing a great job on fixin' her up. They slapped on a GT bumper and re-finished my stone-chipped hood and front bumper and fully buffed her up nicely. I got her back 2 fridays ago but I thought I'd finish up some of the make-up before the photo shoot. I had her tinted up with 20%s and cut-off the stock exhaust tip pointing down and had a chrome tip welded until I get the dual setup from Vibrant.

Now it's time for the performance mods

Can anyone recommend a local shop in the GTA that I can get parts from.

99 BLUE V6 · November 21st, 2010, 05:38 PM

She looks nice. You diffently need some exhaust now because you look a little out of balance lol lol

that's what i was thinking

rovelli92 · November 21st, 2010, 06:21 PM

looks a ton better!!

goren813 · November 21st, 2010, 06:43 PM

Did you want a shaved bumper? Looks so weird to me just being different, not bad though. May I suggest Mach I grill delete and removing the side decals?

I thought about that after I left the exhaust shop. I could'a gotten them to hook on a fake dual but what was done was already done. I'd have to suck it up till I go to Vibrant.

Thanks. I think so myself... she has a different air to her. The tints complete her silhouette and profile... all black and highlights of chrome.

Sally03 is an 03 Pony Edition V6. Out of all the Mustangs I've seen, I've never seen one or come across one like her. I'd like to keep her as close to original, look-wise, as possible. The only reason I got the GT bumper is to accomodate for the true duals.

The Stampede Graphics is specific for that Mustang Pony Edition for that year (I think)... only a Mustang enthusiast would know that it's a 6er. And I forgot to mention that the Stampede Graphics adds seven horses to each side... a 14hp upgrade

I also snipped the downward tail after a week of driving her with it and the GT bumper, coz man... I could only imagine how much of a dork she musta looked like with that itty bitty thing hanging down.

Mr. Red Pony · November 21st, 2010, 08:39 PM

Still getting a GT rear?

adryan · November 21st, 2010, 08:42 PM

Already got it.

Mr. Red Pony · November 21st, 2010, 08:44 PM

Didn't read all of it. Looks really good.

i-bought-a-v6 · November 21st, 2010, 09:25 PM

nice car get rid of the license plate number in the pictures I dont know why but alot of people do it.
Chrome tipped looks bad I got dual 2.5" chrome tips on my car because the shop threw them in for free and they look weird. I suggest the GT takeoff variant.

adryan · November 21st, 2010, 09:58 PM

I did a license plate photoshop delete at first... but I got lazy

uuuuuuh, it didnt work on all of them

orangeRcode · November 22nd, 2010, 09:32 PM

Car looks great. Get the GT exhaust & tips on there.
