Was talking to Brandon earlier and realized I haven't done a thread for either one of my current Mustangs. Not a GM product, but it's nice to change it up from time to time, plus CGM is my home (forum speaking) so here ya go.
Had a red '05 Z71, miss the hell outta this truck and wish I hadn't traded it in. Traded the truck for an '11 Mustang GT with the Coyote motor 6mt. Shouldn't have even bothered, only kept it for 5 months. Sold that to get back into my favorite generation mustang, the 94-98. Found a yellow '95 GT in Tennessee, so I drive up there with my dad to get it.
It was definitely ugly, but a solid, 2 owner car. 167k miles, 5.0 5-speed 2.73 rear Canary Yellow/black cloth. Stock other than the ugly wheels/wing and some hack "dual exhaust".
Day I bought her
First round of mods. De-ugly'ing her, went to Mustang Parts Salvage that's local to me and got some wheels/tires to get me by, interior pieces to replace some worn out ones, black mirrors, and some other odds and ends.
Grabbed some wheels/tires off a buddy for a steal so slapped them on there. 18x9/10 chrome FR500s. Gonna plasti-dip the centers anthracite. Also got some new lights and HIDs, put on the black mirrors and wing.
2 weeks ago, dad backed into the door/quarter with his service body work truck. Gonna need both the door and the quarter replaced for sure.
And here's my old yellow '94. Built it in college, then sold it for the truck. This is the direction we're going for with this car, but even more mods/better stuff.
Since I've bought my '97 Cobra, I gave this to my dad to be our project.
This will be a slow build, but plans for the yellow car are:
-New clutch cable/quadrant/firewall adjuster (in the garage, ready to go in)
-New clutch (also in the garage)
-New fluids in trans/rear end
-Hurst shifter with the old school chrome stick and T-grip handle
-3.73 gears with rebuilt Trak Lok
-New quarter/door/Cobra front bumper/some kind of cowl hood/Saleen S281 wing. All yellow of course
-either some Corbeau seats or grab some new edge (99-04 mustang) seat frames and order the Mach 1 foam/upholstery from TMI (awesome company btw, check em out)
-~1.5" drop all around (not sure what springs yet) with KYB AGX shocks/struts
-03/04 Cobra control arms (decrease turning radius, added caster)
-weight jacker rear LCAs/some kind of rear UCAs
-eventually N/A 331 stroker with a big cam, built either T-5 or Tremec 3650 (Mach 1 trans)
-custom sound system/tint/little odds and ends etc as money allows.
MY new toy is a '97 Crystal White/black leather 4.6 DOHC T-45 4.10 rear gear Cobra. Ran down to McDonough (were Summit Racing is, 1.5hr drive) to pick her up. 111k miles.
Current mods are:
-4.10 gears
-rebuilt trans
-~2" FRPP either "B" or "C" springs on worn out shocks/struts
-hacked up ORX, flows out the back with stock tailpipes. It's ALL WELDED TOGETHER INTO ONE PEICE
-6000k HIDs
-some stickers
-tint that needs to be re-done
-18x9.5 2000 Cobra R wheels with some 245/45/18 (too skinny) General tires up front and 285/35/18 Nitto NT05s out back.
The day I picked her up
Then I thought the rear end blew up on me. Turns out, ALL the ring gear bolts had started backing themselves out, 3 were already in the bottom of the housing and I managed to kick one out and it got caught in the teeth. Crunched 3 pinion teeth pretty good, but I bough all new Ford bolts and locktited them, cleaned out all the metal, put in new fluid and buttoned her back up. She's fine for now till I can afford to get the whole thing re-built.
Did a little photo shoot at work (I've removed the upper and lower isolators on the front springs since these, she sits 3/8" lower now)
Couple vids
Mine and a buddy's '97 at work
Did some general clean up and painting on the under side
White walls lol
HIDs

-Tokico D-spec shocks/struts (adjustable, ordering tonight)
-sequential tail lights/full LEDs
-Foxbody GT fog lights custom mounted
-2000 Cobra R style hood
-either Saleen or 03 Cobra 18x9/10 wheels with 255/305 or 315s
-weight jacker rear LCAs/some kind of UCAs
-LTs, ORX, Magnapacks or SLPs
-Corbeau seats (ordering soon)
-custom sound system
-full forged Coyote with a whipple or kenne bell/T56
-and all kinds of other odds/ends
I'll update as I go obviously, lemme know what y'all think and if you've got any idears/suggestions

Thanks!
Guy was asking $450 for the seats and $150 for the bar. Got both for $450 cuz the driver's seat was worn more than I thought 
Still not a bad deal. I'll either go with Corbeaus (my original choice) later down the road or just get new TMI foam/covers for these. They're very comfortable and supportive.
