That's an awesome story David! At least you know the entire history of your car that way!! Keep 'em comin guys, I find these stories of how people came to own their mustangs fascinating! Any other original owners? What was it like the day you ordered it? Did you ever come close to selling? How...

Because I am a bit of a Scandinavian geek, I have christened mine Sleipnir after Odin's eight-legged horse in Norse mythology. A bit of a nod to the "Big Horse" reputation they have too. 

All shined up and ready to hit the town! 

Bump.   I’d really like to read more stories of how folks found their mustangs…don’t be shy folks! Lets see those creative writing skills!! 

The kids and I attacked the mustang today with dish soap, wax, armor all, several rolls of paper towels and q-tips. It was a deep clean for the ages, and my little army of helpers had a blast!! We have been having so much fun since we got the mustang back up and running!! 

I never thought of how a paint shop might not care about my engine bay or suspension components…that is definitely something to consider. I’ll be putting up a bunch of pics tomorrow and hopefully a walk around video. I think it’s in pretty good shape, and could be ripe for a driving resto. The...

Driving home from work for the first time in a long time! 😀

This is kinda what I was thinking of doing, sending the motor and trannny out to be gone through and while its gone clean everything up and do suspension stuff on my own. Seems like it would be a good project for me and the boy to tackle. 

I think my body is in pretty good shape, it has lived a pretty pampered life in a heated garage for at least the last 20 years that I have owned it. But I suppose you don't really know what damage there may or may not be until it is torn apart right? Are you saying that it wouldn't...

Yup, I can confirm this works! I had the same issue today, and turning that ring counterclockwise did it for me! 

Exactly right, this summer we are just going to enjoy it. Ill see how long of a list I come up with to determine when is the best time to start, however my son is only getting older and this is the perfect age to spend some time with him doing this type of stuff. I see you are a fellow...

How long did this whole restoration take you? Your car looks amazing! if I could get mine looking that good and mechanically sound I could die a happy man. My knowledge level is probably nowhere near yours, but these old cars are pretty basic. Did you do the paint and body work?

Space might be an issue. I have a three stall garage that houses the Mustang, the wife's Explorer, and bikes, lawn equipment, and all that crap. Not a lot of extra room for parts. I like the idea of making a list of things I want to accomplish with it, I will definitely be doing that. Would it...

A very wide ranging question here with a lot of variables to boot but, if I wanted to restore my Mustang to some semblance if it's former glory...where should I start? Motor, suspension, body/paint?? I know many of you have gone through this process a few times and I'm wondering, if you could do...

Reposting since it looks like the old ones are gone... 3F05Q241918_dlxrpt.pdf

Did we lose all the old Marti Reports when the website changed? I haven't been on here in awhile and I see a lot has changed, looks awesome though!

Drove it to work two days in a row now, starting to compile a list of things that need some attention...10 years of garage time has clouded my memory of what was good and bad on the Mustang. But grinning ear to ear everywhere I go! :) 

Off to the DMV today to register it so everything is on the up and up! I've been getting lots of looks and thumbs up around town already. :) 

Finally got my Mustang back on the road after many years of sitting in the garage! Found a local mechanic to help me figure out a final gremlin that was eluding me, and just like that I have a road worthy car again!  The kids are almost as excited as I am! I have driven her more miles in the...

Awesome idea, can’t wait to hear the details! Subscribed to this thread!
