He did all the work including the paint. The motor and trans came out of a wrecked '03 and I believe the V6 had some front end cosmetic damage, which didn't matter b/c the front bumper and hood were getting replaced anyway. I don't know if he made money or not in the end but I know he seems to enjoy building such cars and he did a great job.

In perpetual exile....
I think the whole thing kicks ass. I've always wanted to buy & work over a busted up V6 just for the experience and so that I could build whatever the hell I wanted.....but, alas, such things take money which leaves me out.

Anyway, Cool ass car. +1 on get yourself to the insurance company and insure it for what it's worth. You're only screwing yourself by carrying v6 insurance on that car.

Great car and color. I had a 95 V6 I swapped a 5.0 into it. It was great to only have to pay insurance for a a V6, until some little girl crashed into me and I shit for insurance money.

WOW, this got drug up from the dead! :) But thanks for the compliments fellas. I do still have the car, just with a few "improvements" now. Selling it has crossed my mind lately but I just don't think I'm ready to get rid of her yet and especially not in this market. Since this thread got drug back to the top though I'll picture whore a little bit...

After I put the KB and other goodies on and had a fair amount of $$$ tied up in the car I decided to get a policy lined up to correctly reflect its value. Mainly b/c if something happened I didn't want to be in your situation where my ins. company was only trying to pay me what an '01 V6 was worth!

Wow, those wheels and tires made a huge difference! Awesome car :thumbsup:

That they do. I think after Mustang Week I may swap them out for some 18" replicas or some Saleens. It looked better with 18's but I didn't like the style after I got them on the car (plus chrome just goes so well with this color).

Or what I REALLY want are some BBS RK Plasmas but you can't find them or when you do people want a fortune for them! A little photo-chop I did though to tease myself with them, lol.

Ryan's Teal Terminator is definitely one of the nicest looking Terminators I've ever seen. It is especially cool that it is a custom color. Love it! Love that power/torque it's making, too! :rockon:
