I am the proud new owner of a 2013 Mustang 5.0. Oh this is the wrong place for that :P. But on a serious note I did purchase the 5.0 and when I started trying to figure out what mods that I could do. The only ones I was able to do were the Cat back exhaust if I wish to keep the warranty. I had saved up money for a supercharger only to find out that I couldn't get it.

I have a buddy in the middle of rebuilding his RX-7 FC he has all of the body work done, and needs to finish his interior and get an entire power train. He convinced me to spend my money on a project car. I first looked into getting an older mustang and it was $5k for a rolling chassis. This didnt work for me. He told me to look into the 240, WRX, FD, and FC. I Liked the looks of the FC and FD. I did a little home work and found that I would be able to do more with the FC instead FD.

So I shopped around and found a 2owner 1 family FC. It is the 86 GXL 2+2 converted from automatic to standard. It runs smoothly but the body need a little work, and the interior is kind of shot.

The car came with extras.
-Complete 13b (60k miles)
Partiale 13b( just missing things that you would probably delete anyway. and he believes that he blew out an apex seal on this one. )
-Automatic Transmission( this is the one that he took out to put in the 5 speed, he said it ran rough and that he doubted it still worked)
-2 sets of pop up head light mounts that still work
-pair of blue seats
-complete sunroof system in good shape
- both doors, with working resonators( power windows)
-2 drivers side fenders
-hood
and a bunch of random powertrain and interior parts , I'll post a full list once I get it figured out

My game plan is to completely fix the exterior and paint it a matte pearl blue. Redo the interior from scratch, using foam as a frame and fiberglass/carbon fiber the interior. I am planning on turning the good spare engine into a 20b using a rotor from the damaged 13b if it still has a good housing and rotor. I also plan to stay NA.

Nice to meet you all
