I own a Comp Orange 04 GT so to say that this whole series got the gears turning would be an understatement. Yours turned out amazing and is a huge motivator to see what mine would look like without peeling clear coat... Thanks LMR for the awesome content and being the place to turn for Mustang Info and Shopping!
You all did a excellent job!! Car is beautiful!! Congratulations on having a restored car that you can enjoy and appreciate all the work that was put into it! Another Mustang saved!!!
Appreciate you sharing this in-depth restoration, it gives me hope. I got my late father's 2003 Tropic Green GT down to my house this year, and am about to start restoring/building it in his honor. 85,xxx miles and needs some love, but this video series is a good guide of how to approach things. Thanks again and congrats on your restoration!
@@iworkhard2013 man I would love to get ahold of a Mystichrome, they are my fav. I had an 04 Screaming Yellow convertible Terminator a while back, loved it. Unfortunately not a lot of progress on my side to update on. I got an SLP Loudmouth 2 catback installed, gathered the Hurst shifter/bar/knob, and have some small items like new LED interior lights and dash face, but that is about it. We just found out we are going to have a baby so all mods are on hold for the time being.
What a wonderful video. I bought my first SN95 which was actually my first Mustang. It was a stock 96 Laser Red GT I bought in 2020. I’m a 4th Gen Camaro and 5th Gen Impala guy so it was sort of an experiment buying the 96 SN95. I fell in love with it from day one. These cars were new when I was in high school I never really liked them. Now that I’m older I appreciate cars from the 90’s a lot more and this one was just a fantastic little Stang I had picked up. I then discovered you guys and bought KYB shocks from y’all and various other parts for it. I sold it a year later. Then just this November I came up on a clean stock 96 Laser Red Cobra and I fell in love all over again. This one I’m keeping. Again I turned to y’all for a car cover, F550 steering wheel, hurst shifter, Cobra mats, LED license plate lense kit, license plate frame, and door bezels. I will be ordering KYB shocks for this one from LMR as well. I’m sure there are other Mustang SN95 companies out there but I enjoy giving you all my business. You guys are a Texas company, I’m from South Texas so that’s a plus. I look forward to stopping by one day as well to look at your showroom. I heard it’s amazing. Keep up the great work. These are amazing videos btw I appreciate the How-To’s
Thank you for sharing your story. We like hearing/reading about how folks are connected to their vehicles. Also, thank you for being a great LMR customer. We sincerely appreciate it! -Landan
Nice score. Competition Orange looks really great on these cars. I just got a V6 too (what I wanted) but it's a faded Laser Red, best red Ford used by also the most faded and can't really be duplicated unless I want to spend $6000 and that ain't happening!
Yeah and access to a warehouse of parts. A 2v with under 50k miles can be had for well under 10k. I bought a 2003 GT for 8 grand with 43k miles. Original owner garaged. Navy Blue tan leather. The 2v is a solid motor. I drive them in taxi’s with 300k miles. It is what it is. Restoring these cars is not financially sound. A good paint job will be well above 8 grand
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. We got to see an ENTIRE build in one showing, none of this "episode" stuff. Great job! Add some boost to that car and it'll be icing on the cake.
I just got a 2000 mustang gt. it runs amazingly but it needed some body and interior work. I catch myself binge watching mustang videos and restoring them.
I have a similar story with mine. I bought my 2002 GT Mustang back in 2007, I think I was the third owner. Had it for about 4 years or so. Did some basic things to it, wheels exhaust etc. then I sold it in 2011. I sort of regretted selling it after that, searched for it off and on (new owner was from out of state) and eventually found it again and bought it back. It's currently in the process of getting a coyote swap with a T-56 from a 2004 cobra (I bought the car back as a roller). But more or less I'm making the car look pretty much like it did before I sold it. It had a lot of sentimental value to me (I had the car through my first overseas deployment to Iraq). Nostalgia is a hell of a motivator lol.
I have a 2004 GT convertible with 5spd. The color is RedFire with the same dark charcoal leather interior. Mine has 155,000 miles, and is in very good shape. Im happy with mine !!
Mine is a 99 it’s getting painted and body work done to it. I had it since 2014 I got it from a junkyard and now I can say it’s the best vehicle I own.
I think you guys hit everything on the mark Orange isn’t really my color of Choice but this video definitely gave me some insight on what to do to my 2003 gt convertible
I would have sourced a 99 4v na cobra engine and cleaned it up/replace anything that needs replacing, tremac t56 6 speed swap and sourced 99 or 01 cobra gauges. I loved every single wheel it had on there even the stock wheel. I will say that stock wheel is my favourite for older mustangs.
I have a 2002 Mustang GT with 225,000 miles on it. It doesn't burn even a drop of oil per oil change/4-5000 miles. I just got done replacing a few coil packs, a throttle positioning sensor, a mass air flow sensor, plugs, oil, wheel bearings on the front and i picked up a set of Michelin tires with 1/2 thread on them for a whopping $40. I do everything on a budget because i just can't afford to pay out the ass for everything brand new and yet the car is in much better working condition, still with very little rust on it. It still needs a few more parts [like a new windshield, a new gas pedal throttle control sensor and maybe some suspension pieces] but i am happy with this car over all and had no idea what kind of car i was even buying when i agreed to buy it. I just needed a car and my other one [a Saturn] blew up on me]. I bought this for $100 a month payments 5 years ago and paid $2000 in total for it. Because i have health problems and the previous owner gave me a deal on it and i have no family members left, i plan on giving him back the car some day in much better condition than when i first got it. Over the months to come i will continue to replace parts like the windshield and suspension as i can get to them in rather slow fashion and someday he most certainly won't regret giving me a good deal on this car as for the fact that he will get it back free and clear in such better condition. I would post a pic of it if i could but you tube don't allow pics here. It looks almost identical to this car!
Replace door windows they are still scratched up. If its a base coat and clear coat paint u can buff and wet sand it the correct way real good to show quality paint job to perfection. Youre car is Amazing i like it alot.
I have a Mineral Grey 01 GT that I built for autocross/roadcourse/canyon carving fun. The brake upgrade to the Cobra/Mach 1 style and a short throw shifter have to be my favorite mods as far as driveability goes. I had a deer choose my car as method of suicide and I had to replace the hood, bumper, and driver fender. I went with the V6 hood and Mach chin spoiler, and took off all the panels to take to the paint shop. Sitting in the driveway with the front body panels off, it looked MEAN
Man im born in 93 and the fox bodies were the first ones i was around daily but I remember being eight or so when they came out and man oh man i loved the first look of the 99 when it came out. I just bought one thats an 02 and im ripping the drivetrain out and im putting a coyote in it
I love my 2001 new edge I miss driving it it's been a yr now but hopeful I can get it back on the road soon I miss driving I won't to start taking it to shows
A full out restoration and I would have added a mix of Roush, Saleen and Cobra body parts. A cobra rear bumper with cobra smoothed out, Roush side skirts, Saleen door/quarter panel fake vents Hood of your choice and Roush or Saleen front bumper
Thanks for the feedback. We left the powertrain stuff alone since we hadn't really decided on the route we want to go. There will be more changes to the car very soon! -Landan
You took the scoop and wing off ,thats 2 of my favorite ,no go for me and ,no comp cams no trick flow heads ,no elderbrock,no bbk 78mm tb,and few other things to make her track ready
I had an 04GT and now a 14GT and I sorta miss my 04. The SN95s get crapped on for lack of power but once you get over not winning races they are great first fun cars. Reliable and plenty quick. My 04 sounded 10x better than my 14 lol. And they noticeable weigh a lot less when you drive them. I actually miss mine and actually found my 14 looking for a mach1.
Dude u can make a new edge quick fairly easy. Just because it dont run 12s from the factory don't mean it can't go 11s or 12s with minor work even na. With boost you can go 10s stock driveline it's been done many times. The problem is everyone judges stuff by horsepower and not how it performs there is alot more to a quick car than how much hp does it have. I have seen new edges go 10s with just over 400 rwhp. They weren't gutted either.
I absolutely love what you've done with the car however the only thing that I would have changed was the headlights... I have HIDs in my car I did have the factory halogens but the reason that I went with the HIDs is because the factory halogens weren't bright enough and unfortunately I ended up wrecking the front end of my car so I had to have the front end of my car refurbished when I ended up wrecking the front end of my car I actually blew the airbags I decided not to put the airbags back in because it's a muscle car I took the original steering wheel out because it reminded me too much of my truck and I put a three spoke steering wheel in it... I like the three spokes steering wheel because it looks more like the mustang should look... The reason that I did not put the airbags back in I opted out on the airbags is because it's a muscle/sports car it's a V6 3.9 L with a 5-speed manual transmission... Does it have the power of a 5.0 dual cam dual valve? No it does not but she will let you know she's a pony 🐎 now as far as the headlights are concerned if I were you and this is just a suggestion put a set of HIDs in it get a hold of SW lights the guy's name is Sean Wicca he does fantastic work and you can custom make the lights anyway you want them mine were $1,008 dollars but it didn't buy them all at once he actually let me make payments on them and then he sent them to me when you were paid off... I'm telling you I love my lights... It is a complete difference between night and day literally... Yes they are expensive but I'm telling you they are worth their weight in gold much better than those halogens... People do do this but it is actually against the law you can buy HIDs to put in your factory globes but know this it is against the law to have HIDs in your factory globes you must have a projector style globe to put HIDs in as long as you have a projector style globe those are not against the law... Like I said they are more expensive but they are well worth their weight in gold
Had an 04 CO GT, but sold it in 2018. Had a Terminator hood, Bullitt side deletes, and a duckbill spoiler (different from the Cobra). Had only 60K miles and was mint! Miss that car...
Amazing! Great job by the whole team! I have a '99 Limited Edition black convertible GT automatic. I'd love to restore it. Send me info on where or how to get mine done up like yours!
The OME bumper skin for my 01 GT Deluxe vert was $879 in 2013, someone backed into it with a lift gate van and punched a $25 size hole in it and couldn't be repaired, it does not need be restore yet other then replacing the silver smoked headlights
Looks awesome! I totally agree with the spoiler delete. I think these new edge stangs look way better without the spoiler. Would you believe I actually saw someone with a 2001 mustang bullet with the highland green and it HAD a SPOILER that they obviously had installed, because the bullets came without the spoiler. Looked horrible. But this comp orange looks awesome. The only thing I think you should have kept was that special looking gas cap that you had on the car, like the bullet. You painted over it in the competition orange and I think you should have kept that unique looking stainless steel or whatever gas cap and cover etc. But that's just my opinion. Overall the car looks awesome!
I've got 99 SVT Cobra Mustang with 64K miles. It's Highly modded everywhere for road course tracking if not racing and looks somewhat stock kinda like a 2000R on steroids but with a lot more performance. Many parts purchased thru LMR, MMM, Steeda, Summit to name just a few... The car is still purposely street legal Haltech ECU with Auto Blip going in presently to help manage engine HP and then it going thru the drive train more effectively keeping the car/tires hooked Up. Aero had to be quite seriously addressed too hence 2000R on steroids and hopefully not too "ricey". Lastly, need to address an ABS upgrade based on hopefully 200 to 40 treadwear tires
I don't have a 2 valve. I have a base model new edge with the 3.8l v6.... but I'd love for it to look stock plus like this gt in Acapulco Blue. Go ahead, and laugh. 😆
It doesn't need a coyote. It's nice to see different routes sometimes. It's not that hard to go quick with a 2v simple forged internals will make one capable of 1000 hp. You also don't need anywhere near 1000 to go very fast in a 2004 mustang. Nice to see clean cars supporting their original engines and doing work.
Ok so, I was gifted my grandfather's 00 gt convertible after he passed and I'd like to do something like this, what's the ballpark range as far as cost and time? I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable so it wouldn't be this in-depth. I still drive it but it needs major work. 205 on the dash, all original. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Loved the video, love the channel, love mustangs!
It's tough to gauge since we do not know the exact condition of the car. Completely respraying the car and updating the interior, wheels, suspension, and brakes can be very costly. Give us a call, and a customer care representative can assist you with supplying the parts that you need to refresh your New Edge: lmr.com/contact
Yes. This hood is designed for the 99-04 V6/GT front bumper. If this is installed with either an OEM or aftermarket 03-04 Cobra bumper, the underside of the hood will make contact with the bumper pillars. Hope this helps! -Landan
I recently purchased the series 2 in bronze. The barrel lips don’t seem to be as polished as yours do, or even the pictures on the website. They have a more flat machined look. Im curious if you guys polished these? Thanks!
How would i even start to do a resto like this, currently torn down doing timing chain and lifters on mine and i want to do a showroom resto, down to the carpet and prefect interior and body pannel fitment, what would be the price point on a simple garage resto?
It's always difficult to quote pricing since every one's expectations and buying habits are different. You can do what we did in your garage. The only time this car left our facility was for paint/body. -Landan
David - If you're referring to the plastic vacuum lines in the engine bay, these are not available in the aftermarket. You will have to source them from a donor car or route custom hoses. -Landan
Watching this makes me worried. I am just one guy how am I ever going to finish this project lol. I got a 99 GT I bought a few months back that I want to make look new.
I got a 03 mustang 60k original miles stick shift with pony package v6 good condition torch red all original 1 owner there’s not to many 03 with the pony package option these are hard to find not many people got these ones I just want to keep it clean and original with low miles this car was parked in my garage for almost 10 years front and rear bumper the clear coat is getting faded sad I sold the original 16 inch aluminum polish rims 😢 i now have mustang special edition rims from a coyote and I have a Mach 1 front lip car looks nice now car never gave me problems only once the clutch was replaced about 2 years ago when I got it out the garage clutch must of gotten old and corroded my throwout bearing needs a replacement it makes a noise sometimes I want to be one of those old people that drive around with an old car in the future im 18, I never abuse the car always drive regularly cause I want to conserve the cars life till the future, I want to repaint the front and rear bumpers torch red again but I don’t want to ruin the car that it’s all original I’m 18 years old with a nice mustang clean and original if someone else owned my car that thing would been abused they would add stupid mods and ruin the car
As a comp orange cobra owner , I appreciated this video of the old girl being saved
I liked the fact you guys kept it a 2 valve! I love all the v8 engines Ford came out with. But this is a nice build and the detail is great!
YES love to see people saving the New Edge cars finally! That paint POPS
I own a Comp Orange 04 GT so to say that this whole series got the gears turning would be an understatement. Yours turned out amazing and is a huge motivator to see what mine would look like without peeling clear coat... Thanks LMR for the awesome content and being the place to turn for Mustang Info and Shopping!
My clearcoat is peeling too 😂😂
I feel that I have an 01 zinc yellow Saleen and the peeling clear coat is killing me
Haha I’ve felt directly with Landen for many years, great and very knowledgeable gentleman! I’m glad to have a Mustang again about 10 years later
You all did a excellent job!! Car is beautiful!! Congratulations on having a restored car that you can enjoy and appreciate all the work that was put into it! Another Mustang saved!!!

How’s the restoration going? If you can post your progress. My father gifted me his Mystichrome 04 terminator. Needs just a little work on it as well.

ive got a Competition Orange V6 I'm working on right now. pretty excited to get it back in good condition
Nice score. Competition Orange looks really great on these cars. I just got a V6 too (what I wanted) but it's a faded Laser Red, best red Ford used by also the most faded and can't really be duplicated unless I want to spend $6000 and that ain't happening!
@@HAL-dm1eh I'm in the same boat with my orange. Faded and touchups ruined the original coat so it's going to be an expense but it'll be worth it.
It looks perfect, and it looks tough. It brings back a lot of memories from 99'-04'. Now I want a New Edge like never before.
C.O. Is one of the greatest colors for a muscle car, I love it, who doesn’t love this color 👍🏼 👍🏼
Quality people and an unlimited budget to do it right, anything can be accomplished. Nice result.
Yeah and access to a warehouse of parts.
A 2v with under 50k miles can be had for well under 10k. I bought a 2003 GT for 8 grand with 43k miles. Original owner garaged. Navy Blue tan leather. The 2v is a solid motor. I drive them in taxi’s with 300k miles. It is what it is.
Restoring these cars is not financially sound. A good paint job will be well above 8 grand
Those 18” mach 1 wheels are one of the best looking wheels for the new edge platform, I wish I had a set, they are not cheap
Just bought a 04 Gt 5 speed in comp orange with 77k miles. I love it
If I had the money, Team and resources... Hell yeah! I'd do it. I'm looking at used mustangs now.
Hell yeah, $60K resto and stay under 300hp!

Inspiration for my build has been restored hahaha you guys did an incredible job and I love the build
I have a 2004 GT convertible with 5spd. The color is RedFire with the same dark charcoal leather interior. Mine has 155,000 miles, and is in very good shape. Im happy with mine !!
Glad I found this video. I just bought an '03 to restore.
Wow, what a transformation. Great job and it turned out gorgeous
One week in with my zink yellow 03 Mach1. LMR will be my go to for parts for my build. 130k on her and pulling strong.
GREAT RESTORATION VIDEO AND KEEPING THE 2V ENGINE! I have the same car in Black and this video is making me keep it for good!
As a comp owner I gotta say this build is absolutely perfect
Mine is a 99 it’s getting painted and body work done to it. I had it since 2014 I got it from a junkyard and now I can say it’s the best vehicle I own.
Absolutely incredible work. Freaking night and day! This was awesome to watch. Thank you!
This Video has Inspired my Build in many ways. Love it!
Now we need a SN95 build
I dig the whole rebuild, the interior is perfect, I even like those wheels, needs a procharger though lol
I think you guys hit everything on the mark Orange isn’t really my color of Choice but this video definitely gave me some insight on what to do to my 2003 gt convertible
I have the same model of GT and I think that car is amazing. I would love to do that to , My car
Awesome transformation; I probably would have kept the Mach 1 or even the 01 Cobra wheels. Way cleaner look 👀
I agree 100%
Just got a set of mach 1 wheels for my 99. Love them. Trying to un hillbilly it from the last owners “mods”. Lol
I would have sourced a 99 4v na cobra engine and cleaned it up/replace anything that needs replacing, tremac t56 6 speed swap and sourced 99 or 01 cobra gauges.
I loved every single wheel it had on there even the stock wheel. I will say that stock wheel is my favourite for older mustangs.
Nice build, guys!
awesome work guys looks amazing.....
6:51 I am totally using this as a GIF for when I troll someone about blinker fluid actually existing!
Glad we could help with the creation of your GIF. ;)
Very clean restoration. Not every car has to be built to 1000 hP, just enjoy it for what it is. Come do mine next :)
This car was really nicely restored. Impressive!

Nice job!!!
Would kill for this to be done to my poor 2v, great vid! Last thing I’d do is the mustang rear bumper lettering in chrome!
gorgeous.....nice burnout!
Very cool! Love Comp Orange 😁what a difference after. Edit... maybe put a procharger on it? Looks amazing!
Good build. Miss my 2V

She’s a beauty.
I need this in my life.. i have had my stang since 09. She is my baby her name is cha cha..
I have to wait to finish mine 😢, moving out of state and too busy with that
I absolutely love what you've done with the car however the only thing that I would have changed was the headlights... I have HIDs in my car I did have the factory halogens but the reason that I went with the HIDs is because the factory halogens weren't bright enough and unfortunately I ended up wrecking the front end of my car so I had to have the front end of my car refurbished when I ended up wrecking the front end of my car I actually blew the airbags I decided not to put the airbags back in because it's a muscle car I took the original steering wheel out because it reminded me too much of my truck and I put a three spoke steering wheel in it... I like the three spokes steering wheel because it looks more like the mustang should look... The reason that I did not put the airbags back in I opted out on the airbags is because it's a muscle/sports car it's a V6 3.9 L with a 5-speed manual transmission... Does it have the power of a 5.0 dual cam dual valve? No it does not but she will let you know she's a pony 🐎 now as far as the headlights are concerned if I were you and this is just a suggestion put a set of HIDs in it get a hold of SW lights the guy's name is Sean Wicca he does fantastic work and you can custom make the lights anyway you want them mine were $1,008 dollars but it didn't buy them all at once he actually let me make payments on them and then he sent them to me when you were paid off... I'm telling you I love my lights... It is a complete difference between night and day literally... Yes they are expensive but I'm telling you they are worth their weight in gold much better than those halogens... People do do this but it is actually against the law you can buy HIDs to put in your factory globes but know this it is against the law to have HIDs in your factory globes you must have a projector style globe to put HIDs in as long as you have a projector style globe those are not against the law... Like I said they are more expensive but they are well worth their weight in gold
Had an 04 CO GT, but sold it in 2018. Had a Terminator hood, Bullitt side deletes, and a duckbill spoiler (different from the Cobra). Had only 60K miles and was mint! Miss that car...
Where did you sell it? I just bought one and think it may be the one you are talking about.
@@AustinMathias It was sold in MD
@@mg1822 I bought it from a guy in Virginia
@@AustinMathias I think the buyer was from VA....Does the car have gloss black Rovo's with 295's in the rear?
@@AustinMathias - So it's not the same car...?
Car looks great 👍🏽
Thats my exact car. 40th anniversary gt comp orange.
Amazing! Great job by the whole team! I have a '99 Limited Edition black convertible GT automatic. I'd love to restore it. Send me info on where or how to get mine done up like yours!
The OME bumper skin for my 01 GT Deluxe vert was $879 in 2013, someone backed into it with a lift gate van and punched a $25 size hole in it and couldn't be repaired, it does not need be restore yet other then replacing the silver smoked headlights
Looks awesome! I totally agree with the spoiler delete. I think these new edge stangs look way better without the spoiler. Would you believe I actually saw someone with a 2001 mustang bullet with the highland green and it HAD a SPOILER that they obviously had installed, because the bullets came without the spoiler. Looked horrible. But this comp orange looks awesome. The only thing I think you should have kept was that special looking gas cap that you had on the car, like the bullet. You painted over it in the competition orange and I think you should have kept that unique looking stainless steel or whatever gas cap and cover etc. But that's just my opinion. Overall the car looks awesome!
I've got 99 SVT Cobra Mustang with 64K miles. It's Highly modded everywhere for road course tracking if not racing and looks somewhat stock kinda like a 2000R on steroids but with a lot more performance. Many parts purchased thru LMR, MMM, Steeda, Summit to name just a few... The car is still purposely street legal
Haltech ECU with Auto Blip going in presently to help manage engine HP and then it going thru the drive train more effectively keeping the car/tires hooked Up. Aero had to be quite seriously addressed too hence 2000R on steroids and hopefully not too "ricey". Lastly, need to address an ABS upgrade based on hopefully 200 to 40 treadwear tires
I don't have a 2 valve. I have a base model new edge with the 3.8l v6.... but I'd love for it to look stock plus like this gt in Acapulco Blue.
Go ahead, and laugh. 😆
Wouldn't you think the comp orange outer paint would be last to do? Low chance that damages to the paint would occur.
Clean car! Time for a Coyote swap now
It doesn't need a coyote. It's nice to see different routes sometimes. It's not that hard to go quick with a 2v simple forged internals will make one capable of 1000 hp. You also don't need anywhere near 1000 to go very fast in a 2004 mustang. Nice to see clean cars supporting their original engines and doing work.
I have 2000 GT. And I wish i had the time to do this to mine
Looks great! Would like to ask if you upgraded the radiator and did you address the coolant pressure?
Hello Sam - Yes, the radiator was upgraded to one of our SVE 3-row aluminum radiators. We've never had coolant pressure issues with this car. -Landan
amazing!
Is there a Spanish variant on this channel my cousin would love this.
Unfortunately, this is the only channel that we have available. Sorry about that!
Only thing I will say is these cars NEED the rear spoiler. Just they look sooo much better with them than without
The only Mustang that looks better with the factory spoiler.
Ok so, I was gifted my grandfather's 00 gt convertible after he passed and I'd like to do something like this, what's the ballpark range as far as cost and time?
I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable so it wouldn't be this in-depth.
I still drive it but it needs major work. 205 on the dash, all original. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Loved the video, love the channel, love mustangs!
It's tough to gauge since we do not know the exact condition of the car. Completely respraying the car and updating the interior, wheels, suspension, and brakes can be very costly. Give us a call, and a customer care representative can assist you with supplying the parts that you need to refresh your New Edge: lmr.com/contact
At 14:40 what is the color of the cobra to the far right?
I will never understand guys that don’t like rear spoilers. I just think it’s missing something!!
you almost made me cry
Okay but what did you do w the Cowl hood!? I’ll take it LOL
If you use that hood with a 03/04 style bumper will you run into fitment issues
Yes. This hood is designed for the 99-04 V6/GT front bumper. If this is installed with either an OEM or aftermarket 03-04 Cobra bumper, the underside of the hood will make contact with the bumper pillars. Hope this helps! -Landan
I recently purchased the series 2 in bronze. The barrel lips don’t seem to be as polished as yours do, or even the pictures on the website. They have a more flat machined look. Im curious if you guys polished these? Thanks!
Hi Nick, Landan had cleaned the wheels once the car was finished. However, they are the same wheels that we offer on our site.
How would i even start to do a resto like this, currently torn down doing timing chain and lifters on mine and i want to do a showroom resto, down to the carpet and prefect interior and body pannel fitment, what would be the price point on a simple garage resto?
It's always difficult to quote pricing since every one's expectations and buying habits are different. You can do what we did in your garage. The only time this car left our facility was for paint/body. -Landan
Should have kept that cowl hood looks more aggressive and cobra front bumper. Also would do the chrome wheels but go with Saleens and also lower it
Love the car! Except the wheels.
My favorite is Laser Red especially over competition orange
Great video but WHERE can i get them plastic air lines ?!
David - If you're referring to the plastic vacuum lines in the engine bay, these are not available in the aftermarket. You will have to source them from a donor car or route custom hoses. -Landan
how much would it cost to repaint one of these complete because mine is looking pretty bad
Watching this makes me worried. I am just one guy how am I ever going to finish this project lol.
I got a 99 GT I bought a few months back that I want to make look new.
All that work and no 03-04 cobra front bumper... That would've been the cherry on top.
The Mach grill and chin looks pretty good on these cars for alot less money
Can’t wait to hear about an engine swap😩
i have a '99 honda accord v6 i'd love to volunteer for a lmr
I got a 03 mustang 60k original miles stick shift with pony package v6 good condition torch red all original 1 owner there’s not to many 03 with the pony package option these are hard to find not many people got these ones I just want to keep it clean and original with low miles this car was parked in my garage for almost 10 years front and rear bumper the clear coat is getting faded sad I sold the original 16 inch aluminum polish rims 😢 i now have mustang special edition rims from a coyote and I have a Mach 1 front lip car looks nice now car never gave me problems only once the clutch was replaced about 2 years ago when I got it out the garage clutch must of gotten old and corroded my throwout bearing needs a replacement it makes a noise sometimes I want to be one of those old people that drive around with an old car in the future im 18, I never abuse the car always drive regularly cause I want to conserve the cars life till the future, I want to repaint the front and rear bumpers torch red again but I don’t want to ruin the car that it’s all original I’m 18 years old with a nice mustang clean and original if someone else owned my car that thing would been abused they would add stupid mods and ruin the car
2v gang!
