Phoenix 4 Report post Posted June 25, 2019 Hey all, New owner here from the Midlands. So new in fact that I haven't even picked the car up from the dealers I bought it from. Either way I already want to say a big thank you to the group as upon registering I caught sight of the April '12 - May '13 recall notice for valve springs and guess which lucky fella has a car that falls within that range... Either way, I'm Chris. I have bought the 86 to use as my daily whilst I have my Nissan 200sx S13 as my mentalist, and my 68 Fastback Mustang as my money pit. You'll see me around here, generally lurking, asking dumb questions at inappropriate times and begging for money on street corners to feed my fuel habit See you out there!

Phoenix 4 Report post Posted June 25, 2019 When I get the 86 home tomorrow I'll take pics of all 3. The Mustang is very much mid restoration though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAD17 479 Report post Posted June 25, 2019 Welcome onboard Chris!Nice collection you have. I tried Mustang as well when deciding which car I want. Very different, but I generally like it a lot as a touring car, shane Shelby will not be available in the UK.Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk 1 Phoenix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should have clarified, my Mustang is a 1968 Fastback 1 VAD17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phoenix 4 Report post Posted June 25, 2019 Yup, that's right. I can't tell you how the 68 drives as I bought it as a non runner to restomod. Still a few years from completion but all things in their time. 1 nikndel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
