[QUOTE="Bdubbs, post: 16136035, member: 99175"] Hey guys, went through some pictures and found some old ones. I thought I'd share some from the day I bought it, to now it's current state. My wife came up with the name "lady in red" and it kinda stuck. I bought it in April of 2010. I paid 19,500 dollars and it just hit 20k miles. It was basically Stock except for fr500 wheels, k&n intake, and a upr h pipe. Here is the day after I bought it. [ATTACH=full]1553879[/ATTACH] Engine bay was really dirty. [ATTACH=full]1553880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553881[/ATTACH] After a little cleaning the next day. [ATTACH=full]1553882[/ATTACH] A couple weeks later I added Bassani exhaust and subframe connectors. [ATTACH=full]1553883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553884[/ATTACH] Probably within 4-5 weeks of owning it, I added a jlt intake, billetflow idlers, and a 2.8 upper. Had it tuned, made 455/479 sae. [ATTACH=full]1553885[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553886[/ATTACH] I didn't really like the looks of the fr500 wheels, so I went with saleen replicas. Also added h&r race springs, mm cc plates, ftbr aluminum diff bushings, and a lpw cover. I had a mustang shop do the install. At the time Stock cover was leaking. [ATTACH=full]1553887[/ATTACH] I also installed a gords heat exchanger myself. [ATTACH=full]1553888[/ATTACH] And found out my fpdc was maxed. So I added a bap. [ATTACH=full]1553889[/ATTACH] In 2014 I paid the car off. Then is when the mods really began. I bought a gen 1 tvs blower and a fore level 1 return system. My plan were only to run pump gas. I did the blower swap and fuel system all on my own. Progress: [ATTACH=full]1553890[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553891[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553892[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553893[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553894[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553896[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553898[/ATTACH] Then it was time to start the fuel mods... [ATTACH=full]1553899[/ATTACH] I ended breaking the filler neck. [ATTACH=full]1553900[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553901[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553902[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553903[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553904[/ATTACH] Pic after it was completed! I was a proud guy. My wife was in San Diego visiting a friend, this is the picture I sent her. [ATTACH=full]1553905[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553906[/ATTACH] About a year later 2015, I bought some ARH headers and had them ceramic coated. [ATTACH=full]1553911[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553912[/ATTACH] I had the well known shop APS do the header install. Maybe if it were today I'd try to do it myself. [ATTACH=full]1553913[/ATTACH] This same year I contacted Steve and bought Mach 5 wheels. [ATTACH=full]1553914[/ATTACH] I ended up going back to a rai. [ATTACH=full]1553917[/ATTACH] I believe it was a year later 2016 I contacted Kevin aka 04sleeper about wanting to get remote tuned and switch over to e85. This meant I had to drop the fuel tank again.... I never thought I'd run e85. So I added aem 320e pumps, bigger feed line, and id1000 injectors. [ATTACH=full]1553926[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553920[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553922[/ATTACH] At this time I moved the regulator in the fender and went dead head. [ATTACH=full]1553923[/ATTACH] After everything was dialed in, I started getting tire rub on passenger side fender. [ATTACH=full]1553927[/ATTACH] So I decided to roll the fenders. It took quite awhile, but slowly got it. [ATTACH=full]1553928[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553929[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553930[/ATTACH] I also added amber tail lights that I bought from a member Blueline. [ATTACH=full]1553931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553938[/ATTACH] In 2017 I swapped out the Bassani tips for some SLP rolled tips. [ATTACH=full]1553939[/ATTACH] This past summer, 2018 I purchased some wrinkle black valve covers. I haven't installed them yet. [ATTACH=full]1553940[/ATTACH] And this past October 2018 I did my first clutch job. I had a promotion clutch in there previously. I had the shop mentioned in my thread install that one. [ATTACH=full]1553941[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553942[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553944[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553945[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553946[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553947[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553949[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553950[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553951[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553952[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1553953[/ATTACH] I'd really like to thank all the members on svtp that provide awesome help and knowledge.
