Hi All,
Just thought I'd share the most exciting news.....
My first mustang that I purchased off Ken back in October is finally arriving today!!!! to my door step!!!
This car has almost seen the world, coming from California via God knows where to Perth, then to Adelaide and now finally has arrived in Sydney but yet to arrive to my doorstep sometime today I've been informed.

Although the wait has been escruciating.....Ken from Perth has been an absolute pleasure to deal with.
I'm confident the car will be everything he described it to be and if so, it will be an absolute bargain.

No good news ever comes without bad news......
I hurt my back yesterday lifting weights at the gym :_:_:_
Although in pain,but atleast I'm still walking!!
Atleast i'll be able to walk over to it and sit in it!!!:p:f

Congratulations! Hope to see it registered and on the road quickly, then you'll never want to get out of it. Plenty of cruises and showns going on so when we we see it on the road?

Cheers Bee

Thats awesome news mate i know the feeling the sleepless night before thinking of all the good things you have pictured in your head of the stang. The anticipation of it all is great. It takes you back to your childhood and you think you are 5 yrs old and its xmas day.
I hope you have many happy times with your new toy and enjoy getting those little butterflys everytime you go sit in it and fire her up..

All the best!;_

Stanglover...welcome ;{

stangLover · « **Reply #6 on:** January 16, 2009, 11:07:29 pm »

:f ;* car has arrived!
THE GOOD BITS:
* Car has arrived........hehe
* Doesn't seem to need too much work
* NO RUST which is a major plus
* Brand new wheels and tyres looking really good.
* Has 350 clone body kit
* Engine seems to look like in good order but haven't tried to start it yet

THE BAD BITS:
*Engine bay sprayed gloss black....yuck!!!, also, dikhead never took out the motor before spraying, so lots of wires are sprayed gloss black....dikhead!!
* Engine is a 289 with a three speed manual. (difinately need to upgrade..later)
* palm size dent on passenger door that wasnt there when the original photos were seen so it happened somewhere in transit...NOT HAPPY!!!!
* Needs full interior kit, if anyone can help please let me know where to find them and how much
*As usual, paint work looked alot better in photos than up front, but livable for now.
* All chromie bits needs replacing as dikhead just bent them and threw them inside the car and boot.

At the moment i'm a little disappointed as I was expecting a little better than what arrived, but I'm still over the moon that I have a FASTBACK mussy in my garage.

The best of it is that my wife likes it and says she's happy to help me put in the $$$$$ to fix it up. :w.....can u believe it? she wants to invest into it? whats' this world coming too......:+:+:+:+

All of our wives imvest in the mustangs, they just don't all know it!!! Stanglover, you're gonna love the whole experience, even the frustrating bits. Because a bad day with the Mussy is far better than the best day at work.

Cheers Bee

Stanglover,

Firstly, congrats on getting the new toy. I think we all understand how excited you are.
Secondly, the photo link you've posted is incorrect. It's a location on your PC!
Thirdly, YOU HAVEN"T STARTED IT YET??????? What the??? ;x What are you doing wasting time on the internet? Get out there & take it for a spin!

Evan.

nope, it didn't work, try Photobucket

Oh yea, congratulations :p :p:p

stangLover · « **Reply #14 on:** January 17, 2009, 09:12:34 am »

ev,

Cant start it as I'm not mechanically minded...not sure whats wrong at this stage, hopefully its just battery and spark plugs being wet from quarantine wash...etc..
Cant take it for a spin, as motor doesn't turn over plus interior has no carpet, no roof lining and seats need to be retrimmed ...all torn up.

I'm searching for someone around the Sydney area the gets the interior kits and then someone in Sydney to upholster. If anyone knows anyone please let me know.

For photos, I'll try photobucket

blackbox · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2009, 09:59:08 am »

Interior kits are cheap from the Mussy parts people.
No need to spend a bomb on someone else redoing it from scratch.

HI BAS,GLAD YOU FINALLY GOT THE CAR,JUST A COUPLE OF POINTS WANT TO CLEAR UP REALLY..
1,THE DOOR DENT MUST HAVE HAPPENED IN TRANSIT FROM FREMANTLE TO YOUR PLACE AS ALREADY MENTIONED CAR WAS DENT FREE WHEN INSPECTED BY ME AND MY WIFE AT FREMANTLE.
2,GLOSS BLACK ENGINE BAY WAS CLEARLY SEEN IN PHOTOS SUPPLIED TO YOU PRIOR TO PURCHASE!.
3,AS IN ALL PHOTOS AND INFO SUPPIED YOU KNEW THE CAR WAS A 289 3 SPEED MANUAL AND THAT THE CAR NEEDED A "FULL"INTERIOR KIT.
HOPE THIS CLEARS UP ANY CONFUSION WITH ALL THE PEOPLE HERE.
ALL THE BEST AND ENJOY YOUR NEW TOY! REGARDS KEN

stangLover · « **Reply #18 on:** January 17, 2009, 07:49:13 pm »

Hi Ken,

Apologies to those that misunderstood......
when i spoke about seller, i meant the original owner in the states that did the work to it before selling.
And just to clear things up, Ken has been nothing but a pleasure to deal with.

Again, I'm happy with my purchase which was done just via photos. Now that I have it in my garage I can see the work it needs and am looking forward to the adventure of the surprises, the ups and downs, and the excitement of getting it back after upholsterer does the new interior.

I'm around the Brighton Le-Sands area close to Sydney Airport.
Any help in either starting the motor, advice on getting a bigger motor, etc...etc.. much much appreciated.

Regards,
Bas

stuie87 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2009, 07:55:31 pm »

Thats how i took the original post to mean.
Im in the shire but work near the airport so if you want help one day let me know.

steveo · « **Reply #20 on:** January 17, 2009, 10:12:42 pm »

hey Bas you sound excited. Seeing there has been no great offers of help, Im your man.
Have a bit of time on my hands at present and am ready to fit a new 302 Roush with a four slot. Full trim, no problems. Have a set of wheels that should really make her look smick.
Just say the word and I'll pick her up and get started .
Should be ready for you to pick up about Easter.....2020 !

stuie87 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 18, 2009, 09:38:11 am »
