Daily Chat Thread
I have looked into the option of adding a vBulletin ChatBox to the site that is similar to one used at another Mustang site where I am an Administrator. The problem is that the ChatBox can become a porthole for unscrupulous hackers to attack the site. So in the absence of having a ChatBox, I thought that I would give this idea a try. It is just an open-ended thread to chat about anything on your mind. If you are at work, a post whore, or just bored then this is the thread to talk about anything under the sun. It can be SSP-related or not, but keep it clean and avoid all talk about politics and religion.
I'll start off - I heard that my 85 SSP spent an extra day on the frame rack to get the front end back in spec (it was pushed over/back almost 3 inches!). I was told that I should have the front unibody sheet metal welded on the seams on the tire-side (out of view) to help strengthen the area since it was tweaked so hard. The floorboard cracks will get welded and ground smooth at the same time. Is there anything else I should consider having done while the car is apart to make it more rigid without being detrimental to its overall value? |

Jonathon, that is a nice find for your collection. I do not remember the condition of that car, but I am sure it will end up in fine shape once it's in your custody. Please be sure to post up photos!

I've always loved those two cars. I wanted to buy it at one time but that seller was really flaky plus the expense of transporting it :eek: I'm glad it has found a deserving home Jonathon ! :2thumbs: Any word on the where bouts of the other car? I remember seeing a pic of it years ago. It was really ruff looking and partially disassembled if my memory serves me correctly... |

I see the passenger side GT tail light is broken. I may have one, If you need it I'll donate it for this project :D. I'll check once I get home. |
Congrats on picking that one up. Hopefully the seller wasn't as flaky to deal with as it seemed through the various posts on multiple forums would have suggested.

I could definitely use it. I don't have too many GT parts on the shelves. I know I definitely don't have a taillight. Quote:

What?? You didn't text me and let me know Jonathon?? Lol
Congrats! ;) It may not be an ssp but that car is just as good in my opinion! What a great pick up! Can't wait to see it! |

I hope I don't get banned for posting a Mustang II, but this '77 Ghia was purchased new by a couple; we purchased it from them last year. The gentleman's wife drove it up until about 1 1/2 years ago when she said she finally wanted something with power steering. It is all original and was always garaged. Has just under 47k miles. |
love it.
but it needs a Coyote motor....... :2thumbs: |
Quote:
If you put something together, we'll definitely get it up there for all to enjoy. |
I love it as well !!!
I know everyone would love to see your collection :yes: I've seen quite a few of them and believe me it's a site to see... |

Dubai's $6.5 Million Police Fleet, The World's Fastest Police Cars
Has anyone else seen this? Nice to see they do have a Mustang. Given that they spare no expense on these cars, I find it interesting they opted for a Roush instead of a GT500.
Dubai's $6.5 Million Police Fleet, The World's Fastest Police Cars The Dubai police force are the proud owners of a 'super fleet,' a mass of high end sports cars from all over the world. Their latest addition to the fleet is the $1.6 million dollar Bugatti Veyron, capable of doing 267mph and from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds. However, these vehicles are not used to chase criminals, but instead as a PR mechanism. Heralded as the most progressive of the Arab police forces, they drive the fleet to various tourist attractions in Dubai as a means of connecting with citizens and tourists. It’s also another way for Dubai to flaunt their enormous wealth. http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/fjDMHnlX9EY/maxresdefault.jpg http://rearviewmirrordotme.files.wor...pg?w=700&h=468 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjPUGMJ86E0#t=54 |
Thanks for posting that up! :D

Dubai, the desert wonderland getting ridiculously rich off us gas hogs in the US! Lol :D
