You have a lot of testicular fortitude to strip down a mystic. Is the s281 wing painted mystic? I would love to have a s281 wing on mine but can't justify the money just for the little bit of paint.

lol. It was nerve-racking at first but it needed to be done. Once I got through the front bumper, it got easier.

The s281 wing is currently black primer but will get painted with the rest of the car.

Trying to figure out what I want to do with the mirrors.

1. Repaint black
2. Sand smooth & paint mystic
3. 03-04 Cobra mirrors painted mystic

The easy choice is #3, although, harder on the wallet...

I would suggest option 2. The termi mirrors don't fit right on ours so unless you're willing to put the time in to fit them properly I'd paint the oe mirrors. A lot cheaper too as you mentioned.

If there was an exchange rate for USD to Mystic...

This is what you'd get for $2,200 today!

yes that paint is definitely not cheap, but then again if it was a lot more people would've had Mystic cars.

Finally got some time to get back at it...

Pulled some interior parts to get the side scoops and sail panels off

Removed the mirrors, window trim, antenna, hood scoops & badges

Left the sail panel on the passenger side so it's easier to sand but since the DS was already sanded, I pulled it off. Didn't see a screw & cracked it! :Evilstare:

not sure if I'm going to attempt to fix it or just go grab one from the yard.

Lights, spoiler, & fuel door

Sold the 04 Cobra SB, TFS heads, & Edelbrock IM. Bought a PI motor for the Roush but more on that later...

Went to Fabulous Fords Forever this weekend & got some motivation. Couple pics below for you viewing pleasure.

Export mirrors arrived today from Dubai, however, there's some damage!

Have been busy but not working on the cobra

Bought a new daily a few months ago for super cheap. Needed a few bugs worked out but has been great since.

Got a 98 GT the other day. Really clean car with some nice mods. Bought it from a friend. Don't need it but the price was too good to not consider

Manley rods & pistons 10:1, Kellogg crank, billet oil pump gears, CMS cams, FBO, 150 shot. Around 1000 miles on new setup. Getting tuned this weekend

This car changes everything. Considering selling the Roush. Painting the Cobra, installing the suspension parts, tune and leave the engine alone.

I can't keep all 3 mustangs, so one needs to go. The cobra isn't worth anything until it's painted and that's a ways out, the GT is perfect to mod, so that leaves the Roush on the chopping block.

All together

The rollercoaster ride continues... I’ve have a great time with the AB GT over the past year. A few bolt-one, fresh tune, Mach 1 Seats, converted the interior from gray to black and installed the XXR wheels from the cobra with some fresh rubber.

While I played with the AB GT the Mystic got neglected. Time to get that ball rolling again so we loaded her up and dropped off for paint.

I’ll be stopping by to check progress often over the next few weeks. Going to pull the bumpers, rear quarter windows, and the windshield rubbers to get in every crevice. Updates forthcoming.

The fleet got larger last weekend.
34a6dab975176ba5a44eacff5273f2fb.jpg

I learned over the last year I only have enough time and money for one car so the AB GT is for sale.

The 03 Cobra is a decent car but needs some love. The drivers door and quarter has some clearcoat peeling. The IRS clunk is obnoxious, the clutch feel and engagement is awful. While I wait for the GT to sell and the Mystic to get painted, I’m going to start working on the 03 Cobra.
