My cousin and I and our 2nd gens.

Was out for a Sunday afternoon cruise in my 2004 Mustang GT and randomly ended up at a light with another New Edge and a WS6. Gave me such a strong feeling of nostalgia of cruising when these were new. Always loved these cars, even though I could never beat one in a race!

Will it be a loooooot of work? Absolutely!

Will it be worth it? Absolutely!

My mom passed away in 2007 right as he started working on it. Past life as a body man, and was waiting until retirement to get it back out, but it's been almost 20 years since he's been In the garage. And it breaks my heart because this was their 1st child before me.

He's become reclusive, and even tech wise. So I'm trying to introduce him to reddit and this will be the start. Hoping to break him away from the couch and tv routine. If y'all could, give some motivation/constructive criticism. He's the type of man that used to take peoples shit talk as a test, so let's turn the tables and see what we can do.

Edit: mad love and respect to y'all 🤘 thank you.

Im upgrading my headlights and took off the front panels and found that there are hidden lights.

Does this mean my car has the incorrect front bumper?

How much hp should I expect with Speed Engineer 3/4" Longtube Headers, with a off-road Y pipe? It has a flow master and thinking it should sound nice.

Was able to go to the tow yard and strip alot of parts couldn't get under the hood or under the car to look to see where the breaks failed but I was barely able to get my hand under to unscrew the break fluid and stuck my finger in it I didn't feel anything. I dont really understand how I could have lost the fluid I recently changed my back drum breaks and i didnt see any leaks and the spot where I park for my apartment is also dry apart from some oil how the break fluid is gone I have no clue my only guess is that the front rubber finally gave out but I changed my front breaks 4 months ago and they looked good. For how bad the crash is im genuinely surprised on how well the car protected me i hit the guard rail on the driver side and that slingshot my into a concrete bridge support on the passanger side. If i had the space to do so I would have dropped it in nutural and hit the handbreak but by the time I realized the breaks were gone I couldn't get back on the highway the exit was boxed in and in about a good 70ft from where I stopped there was a sharp turn witch had no guard rail just those yellow signs and there was a good 15ft drop into a ditch so thats why I decided to put myself into the guard rail.

The amount of people talking bad in the comments is sad this could have turned out alot worse.

UPDATE : if youve been following along (i doubt), just bought a 1994 base model for $800. Brought her home last night, today i got a replacement tire for the deflated dry rotted one on there before, and cleaned it off. Needs a fuel pump and a replacement line since the guy I bought it from makeshifted an external tank to get her to run. Tested it out with my own external tank and she turns over, has compression and spark, but wont stay running unless the keys turned all the way in the ignition. Gonna look into the lines cause theres 3 and i pressed the accelerator while turning key as my grandfather sprayed a lil ether in the intake and she backfired like hell. Gonna continue to post updates on this. Tomorrow I will be detailing the interior but I cant work the whole day as im busy most of the day. Heres a before-and-after pics.

I know most of what I need to do for a 5.3 swap but the problem is a lack of a 5.3 and 4l60e to drop in and also my grandfather has an i beam in the garage hes hesitant to let me use but we'll see cause if he ends up not allowing me im just gonna find somewhere else I can do it once I have the means.

Near mint 2002 collectors edition coupe. I've wanted a TA ever since I took my girlfriend to highschool prom in her older brothers 1981 TA.

Only thing to fix is the passenger headlight motor.

This really sucks ik it was a v6 but it just hit 104k miles I bought it at 84k miles and I was the 2nd owner idk if ill try to fix it I dont have alot of money rn and i didnt have full coverage

Im having issues getting into 3rd and 4th gear.

1st and 2nd work fine.

Spotted in Red Lodge, Montana last weekend.

What is a fair price for a clean firebird ? I’m really want to buy one soon but the only clean one near me is 7000. It’s nice and has 100k miles but I feel like 7k is really steep.
