Well due to the needs of my GT and the fact I live where it actually snows... I think I am going to be garaging the GT for winter and cease on upgrades for a while.....



Am now looking into getting my cordia back on the road for winter due to it being a fwd car. The GT needs some new parts which will cost me some money... The Cordia needs some stuff... but probabely less... plus it is a much more civilized car... I love my GT but we are running out of season for it....



Will probably see about a carb rebuild for the cordia some new tires and new shocks and get her back on the road.... Cheaper to insure also...



What do you guys think???



Also I was considering some rims for it maybe... I dont want to ricerize the car but I do want a cheap decent rim with more performance style tire choices... here is one of the rims I am looking at...

Or maybe this one...

Or this is the last one...





all of these rims are 16x7's I dont want a huge wheel on the car thats why I am thinking about that size....



I will do a bit of bodywork on my own time and will prolly tint the windows and let her be.... I hate looking completely stock but I dont want a lot of police attention so either stock exhaust or very mild exhaust....



Here is a pic of the car for those of you who have not seen my older thread in "Other car" section of this forum.....

Let me know what you think....

I like the "ghetto rake" that car has, is that stock? or an added feature that you had to pay for?

You need some gold fender trim on that bia!!!

I think the driveway or picture is tilted.

lol yeah the driveway is tilted so what do you guys think? I dont want a ricer or something to cruise bigtimes area with j/k bigtime





But I do want something that is at least a lil bit of fun to drive... if I dont buy rims for it I will at least throw good tires on it and have the carb rebuilt....

Leave it be cosmetically and get it running good, throw a decent stereo or some **** in there instead of rims, or spend it on the GT, thats what I would do.

Twin89Stangs

Well honestly I want the rims due to the fact I just want slightly better handling not looks... as you can tell cause i am going with some of the cheaper rims. But the idea is get this thing running decently and enjoy it a bit as I begin to just throw money at the GT.... thats the idea... I will pull some of the stereo out of the GT for the Mits.. so that pretty much takes car of that part. But when the rims are only 120 apiece it aint so bad...



besides the tires on the car need replaced and they are pathetic! 185/60/14's.. Ouch and Yuck! Ok so in person they dont look nearly as narrow as they sound and they hold the road decently but I dont really like them. Plus the ones on there are closing in on 5 years old and have dry rott. So I need to replace them.....



I was only going to put 16x7 rims on this car due to concerns over clearance on the backend cause of that stupid lil part that comes down to kind of cover the wheel...



I am not abandoning the GT.. just thinking that for winter maybe a mustang convertible that has a lil bit of **** done to it would not be as good as an FWD car... though I have driven mustangs in the snow ever since I became old enough to drive... and yes it can be done... is it easy? Not really....



So i was curious on your guys thoughts about doing this to my only import for the time being.. By the way I found a GXL over here that will be for sale... but I dont believe it is worth much.... kind of sad....

Rob x-7

AHH you should see my GXL now, I didnt think so many people would be calling about it actually, response is quite good.

Twin89Stangs

Yeah I wanted that GXL also but it was a bit beyond what I could come up with.......
