and After

Then, it took me 3 days to install the new 409 Pypes dual exhaust. Went from 1 rusty pipe to now 2 clean pipes with 3'' polished tips
Before (sorry for the dark pic, you can hardly see it on the left side)

Get some 17s to replace those pony wheels (if that's what's on it). Try out MustangsUnlimited.com , it's where I ordered the wheels for my foxbody bird a few weeks ago - loving my new wheels! The new headlights and turn signals look good, man! Keep it clean. :)

Thanks bro...No actually, the rims on it now are 15'' American Racing wheels! For another car, they would be sick, but for my mustang, they feel like 30mm wheels on a 81/2 size deck haha! So I HAVE to fix it up! I've been looking at americanmuscle.com for rims, but i'll check that site out! +rep for the info :)

Looks sick. I'm putting a cold air and new exhaust system in my civic soon. So then I can come over and show you a thing or two about raceing. ;)

Ohh yeah you gonna get a paint job on that pretty lady? It's almost as white as my ass...almost.

if you're willing to spend a 90 bucks get a blow of valve so you can do this:

get your bov for your Mustang here: http://www.yourhotcar.com/product/list/All/Ford/Mustang/Performance_Parts/Blow_Off_Valve

Then buy yourself a duck call and insert it right there with the bov and let it quack!

I'm getting it on a Dyno at the end of the month, to see what HP i'm at...Stock is 275, so with the exhaust and CAI, I should be up in the 290's!!

theres a little ancient secret...its called a job {rf)

Actually, to be honest, I've selling alot of stuff on Ebay that I didn't need anymore, so that helps ''off-set'' the costs a bit! Plus, mods on cars aren't TOO wallet damaging, just can't do it all at once

It's a nice car, but if I were you I'd sell it and get an older mustang - much older! These new ones have lost their touch IMO.

It is a 96 bro...I can't stand the 01 and up look, and the tail lights on the 97 thru 99 are disgusting! I went with the 96, for that reason exactly. I prefer the body style of that year. The 95's and under were too box'y for me, but I will admit, the parts for them are cheaper and getting it in the high 3's in HP is alot easier. But needless to say, if I had one of those BRAND NEW Mustangs in my driveway, I wouldn't depress the e-brake and roll it out of it :p

It's cool, i'ts a nice car, I'm just a picky bastard - put a mustang in front of me and I won't be happy unless it's '75 or older :D

I need to own an old school muscle car someday.. hopefully they won't all have fallen apart by the time I have the money!

How's your rims coming on?

My my. I want a Mustang too! But I've never seen a single one in Singapore before. I'm thinking if they have restrictions for muscle cars. Ghey!

Yeah I used dupli to paint my valve cover. That stuffs great. I didn't use primer though so the color came out a little dull but hey you live and learn.

^Thanks bro! I like this look over the newer ones!

Dupli makes a great rust remover and primer...It worked really well. I know a guy that dipped his parts in acid to remove ALL the impurities, and after he painted it, it was amazingly crystal clear coated! No smudges of any kind

That looks good, its amazing how a couple things make such a big difference. I recommend to install a scoop on the hood if you don't have one. Those look really good, but make sure its a real one, no fake scoops.
