Last November, after years of trying, I was able to pick up my old blue Mustang. It's a basket case, but it's mine again. Plans are forged motor, boost, suspension, wheels etc. The usual racecar stuff. This will be my build thread. If anyone knows where I can find a 99-01 Cobra bumper, please let me know!! Will trade this 03-04 bumper.

wow, time has not been kind to that thing since I last saw it on this board. IIRC, didn't you sell it back to the guy who you bought it from, and he eventually put it up for sale on his own used car lot? Thats at least how I remember it, I could be way off.

You should post a few older photos in its better years, it was a sharp looking car when you owned it last.

Wait...didn't it have a 99-01 cobra bumper when you owned it?

Can't wait for the build to commence :)

Yes, and he sold it to someone who wasn't very nice to it from the looks. I'm just hoping it doesn't need a total repaint.

Welcome back.

Why did you lock down your IG? I always enjoyed looking at your car shots.

I'm getting hammered with spam bots, I'll get 2k new fake followers overnight. Tried going private off and on, changing my name, nothing seems to work. You'll have to follow me if you want to stay in the loop, since I might have to go private permanently. I've gone from 9k followers to something like 25k in 3 weeks, it's ridiculous. I almost deleted my whole account.

It did. Which is why it needs one back.

I'm a sentimental SOB so it's nice to see you reunited with it.

Congrats on getting it back & good luck with the rebuild.
