Author Topic: 5.0 I'm Back! PIF ¯ Member # 5570 posted                                 I picked up a 1986 Ford Mustang GT last Monday. After one week of owning it, I've come to realize how shady people can be. Don't get me wrong I love my new ride but since I bought it 6 days ago, I've had to replace the starter, fuel filter, repack the front wheel bearings, by the heater core because it had a bad leak. After putting in on the rack at my workplace I also found leaking wheel cylinders and bad leaking power steering pump. Worst of all I got pulled over last night by CHP. They told me the tags on my plates were not from this car, my response was I just bought the car and luckily they didn't impound my car. But now I gotta deal with 2 years registration because the asshole who sold me the car failed to tell me this!! Anyways, poor me but this Mustang needs a lot of attention and I will give it my sweat and labor! http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab185/PIF11/d8f99804.jpg http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab185/PIF11/0dfe9684.jpg http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab185/PIF11/9e2b548e.jpg http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab185/PIF11/5d91d9e0.jpg http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab185/PIF11/d6799805.jpg http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab185/PIF11/f0c88170.jpg http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab185/PIF11/af3367bd.jpg http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab185/PIF11/bf98ca7d.jpg http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab185/PIF11/191a29e4.jpg [ July 26, 2010, 01:38 AM: Message edited by: PIF ] -------------------- 86GT http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3874263 79Pace Car http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2644330 82TTOP http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2573989 Posts: 295 | From: East Palo Alto | Registered: Apr 2005  |  : maeco ¯ Member # 2578 posted                              nice ride iam actually thinking of picking up a 4 eye myself but dont like the dash from that year.what you get her for if you dont mine me asking? -------------------- Looking for clean white mustang email me Posts: 2409 | From: bay area | Registered: Mar 2003  |  : PIF ¯ Member # 5570 posted                                 I picked up the four eye freak for $1500 from a guy on craigslist. -------------------- 86GT http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3874263 79Pace Car http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2644330 82TTOP http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2573989 Posts: 295 | From: East Palo Alto | Registered: Apr 2005  |  : 50 Deep Jockin 03 Cobras Member # 6216 posted                                 Here's your pics.

And come on what you expect for $1500 and a 86 Mustang. I think we can all agree that you are a very lucky guy. I have to say that your 4 eye looks awesome. Just keep that TLC up and it will be running back up in no time.

I smogged it today and it failed apparently my timing was up 20 degrees. Easy fix but again I wish people were more honest instead of trying to come up on a quick buck! -------------------- 86GT http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3874263 79Pace Car http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2644330 82TTOP http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2573989 Posts: 295 | From: East Palo Alto | Registered: Apr 2005  |  : 87droptop50 Go Giants!
